The Ultimate Guide to Shapewear:
How to Choose the Perfect Fit?
Shapewear is the secret weapon for many women who want to feel confident in their favorite outfits. But how do you choose the right shapewear for your body and needs? In this blog, we'll help you find the perfect shapewear step by step!
Why Shapewear?
Shapewear helps shape and support your figure without feeling uncomfortable. Whether you're wearing a tight dress for a special occasion or just want an extra boost in your everyday outfit, the right shapewear can make all the difference.
At Curvy Body, we believe every woman deserves to feel beautiful and confident, regardless of her body type. That's why we offer a wide range of shapewear that's both comfortable and effective.
Step 1: Choose the right type of shapewear
Not all shapewear is the same! Here are the most popular types and their benefits:
• Shapewear panties & thongs – Ideal for smoothing the tummy and hips. Perfect under dresses and tight trousers.
• Shapewear shorts – Prevent thigh chafing and give a beautiful contour to your legs and buttocks.
Bodyshapers – Provide full support for your stomach, waist, and back. Perfect for tight dresses and tops.
• High-waist shapewear – Provides extra compression to the waist and creates an hourglass figure.
• Shapewear dresses & bodysuits – Ideal for a streamlined silhouette under dresses.
Step 2: Choose the right compression
Shapewear comes in different levels of compression, depending on how much shape you want to give your body:
• Light compression – For a subtle smoothing effect, perfect for daily use.
• Medium compression – Provides more support and a beautiful shape, ideal for tight clothing.
• High compression – Creates a dramatic change in your silhouette and provides maximum support.
At Curvy Body you can filter by compression level, so you always find the right fit!
Step 3: Choose the right size (very important!)
A common mistake women make is buying shapewear that's too small, hoping for an extra slimming effect. However, this can lead to discomfort and the fabric rolling up.
How do you measure your size?
1. Measure your waist at the narrowest point.
2. Measure your hips at the widest point.
3. Compare your measurements with our size chart on the website.
If in doubt, always choose the larger size for comfort and a natural result.

Step 4: Choose a color that matches your outfit
Shapewear comes in a variety of colors. The three most popular options are:
• Skin color / Beige – Invisible under light or white clothing.
• Black – Perfect for dark clothes and evening dresses.
• White – Ideal under light fabrics and wedding dresses.
Tip: Choose seamless shapewear if you want to avoid visible lines under your clothes!

Step 5: Maintain your shapewear well
To keep your shapewear in top condition:
✔ Wash by hand or on a delicate wash setting.
✔ Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softener.
✔ Let it air dry (no dryer!).
Taking good care of your shapewear will keep it effective and comfortable for longer!
