Best Shapewear for Plus Size

Best Shapewear for Plus Size | Yummie

Finding shapewear that offers both comfort and support is essential for plus-size women. This blog post highlights the best shapewear options for plus-size bodies, focusing on smoothing, shaping, and comfort. We’ll discuss key features like compression levels, fabric stretch, and breathable designs that cater specifically to curvy figures. Whether you’re looking for everyday wear or special occasion support, we’ve got recommendations to help you feel confident and comfortable all day long.

As all women are familiar with, sizing can be a jungle. When you’re establishing your size at a new brand, it’s best to take current measurements and refer to the label’s chart. (Pro tip: keep these measurements in a doc on your phone or computer so you always have your most recent numbers handy).

If you’re between sizes, go up. We know, we know: you want that shapewear tight and snatched. But overly tight shapewear can roll and bulge, the opposite of the smooth lines you’re looking for. Plus? It won’t be comfortable, and as much as movies like to pretend that shapewear = torture, we pride ourselves on making shapewear that’s actually comfortable.

Fabric choice and shapewear style are always important, but even more so if you’re plus-size. Choosing breathable, lightweight fabrics can help keep you cool, while a step-in style (one that you put on by stepping in and shimmying up instead of pulling over your head) will give your curves the most flattering, smooth shape.

Of course, you should pick shapewear that fits the way you want to wear it. If you’re looking for all over shaping, try our Ruby Tank Bodysuit. It’s a great multi-purpose piece crafted from 360Sculpt™ cotton that provides all-over, breathable shaping. The hidden knit-in tummy panel provides extra waist shaping and the adjustable snap double gusset lets you customize your fit. The Ruby comes with a brief-back and a version with a thong back, too. It’s a versatile piece that can be worn as a top with your favorite pants, skirts, and jeans, or wear it as an underpinning and layer it underneath dresses. If you’d prefer a shapewear top instead of a shapewear bodysuit, you’ll love our 2-Way Shaping Tank. The Outlast® fabric is super soft and helps to regulate your body temp, while the hidden knit in shaping panel subtlety snatches you in and smooths you out. This one can also be worn as a top tucked into pants, or layered underneath blouses.

 For an everyday underwear option, check out our Sage Shapewear Brief. It’s a high rise style with medium compression that features a wide 2-ply waistband that provides shaping at the tummy.

For both tummy and thigh shaping, slip on our Seamless Solutions High Waist Thigh Shaper Shapewear Short. With its high, just-under-your-bra rise and nearly 8-inch inseam, it ensures all over smoothing from your thighs to just below your bra. This is a great option under skirts and dresses to provide sculpting support and stop thigh chafe. The firm shaping will give your curves va-va-voom smoothness, and soft silicone at the waist prevents rolling or slipping throughout the day.

 Yummie leggings are also a must. Our shaping leggings are designed to smooth and shape the body, providing compression in key areas like the tummy, hips, and thighs while still offering the comfort and flexibility of regular leggings. Our Rachel Shaping Legging is available in up to size 3X, with the front waistband curving down to hold in your midsection and the back of the waistband curving up to allow for a booty lift. Our Denim Bootcut Legging is also a fan favorite and super flattering with its wider leg opening
