Shapewear

I've never worn any but an old friend bought some high waist control knickers and they looked good under her dress until she sat down and the waistband flipped over and she then had a ridge of overspill at the top! We laughed bout it but it was a disappointment for her especially as they were expensive. Spanx was the brand.

What about a swimming costume shaped one?

I’m going on a cruise soon and want to feel confident in my evening dress. Can anyone recommend some good shapewear that is not going to make me feel like a stuffed sausage please?
