Shapewear for wedding dresses and bridesmaid dresses

Shapewear for a wedding dress or bridesmaid dress should feel comfortable all day and all evening. You’ll want your bridal shapewear to stay put from the time you walk down the aisle to the last high-energy dance with your new spouse.

Consider a shapewear bodysuit that will sculpt all the right places but won’t shift around. Try the Mid Thigh Sculpting Bodysuit, which gives you compression in the tummy, shapes and lifts your butt and your chest, and has coverage to mid back.

For a high-cut leg and super flattering shape, try the Sculpting Bodysuit with Snaps. It’s seamless, incredibly soft, and has handy snaps at the crotch for easier access.


Shapewear for backless or low-back wedding dresses

Bare that beautiful back! If you’ve chosen a backless or low-back wedding dress (or a lacey-backed gown), check out the Seamless Sculpt Low Back Bodysuit. It’s an all-in-one low-back shapewear piece that lifts your curves with a hosiery-type leg for lightweight compression on your thighs.

Another option is the Low Back Bodysuit Mid Thigh, which has a deep scoop back, strong compression around the waist, and reaches to mid-thigh.

Both of these options have an open gusset.

If you don’t need a bodysuit and are looking for shapewear for just your bottom half, try the Sheer Sculpt Low Back Short for light support that smooths and targets your hips and thighs with our lightest level of support, featuring a low-plunge back.

Shapewear for strapless dresses

Yes, you can still find shapewear that works under strapless dresses or bridal gowns with sheer shoulders. Start with a Fits Everybody strapless bra or bandeau and pair it with our popular shapewear underwear or shorts.

Not sure where to start for shapewear underwear? Try our go-to, the Mid Waist Brief, which tightly supports your core while smoothing and shaping your butt. There’s also a High Wasted Brief, a high-cut wonder that features a silicone interior underband that keeps it from rolling down.

If you want an even more sculpted shape under a fitted gown, the Core Sculpt High Waisted Thong and Brief can shave up to two inches from your waist with SKIMS Body fabric proprietary tummy flattening technology.

 

Shapewear for trumpet or mermaid dresses

Mermaid and trumpet silhouettes are designed for enhancing and celebrating curves, and SKIMS is known for helping you do just that. For these types of dresses, consider thong options like the Core Control Thong—a mid-rise thong that’s silky smooth. For a full bodysuit thong option, we suggest our light compression Sheer Sculpt Thong Bodysuit with a wide neckline and low scoop back.

For those who want smoothing down the thighs, take a look at the Mid Thigh Sculpting Bodysuit, which gives you strong, targeted compression for your waist, hips, and thighs, while also lifting the butt and chest. And speaking of butt, if you want to enhance and show off yours—as you should; this is your special day—the Butt Enhancing Open Bust Padded Bodysuit features built-in butt pads that add up to two inches of volume for a perfectly rounded and lifted shape.

All of these options will smooth your curves so you look stunning in your fitted gown! See the complete selection of SKIMS shapewear solutions to find the perfect piece for your perfect day.
