When many of us think of ‘shapewear’, we think of underwear that helps change how our bodies look in clothes. But wearing shapewear doesn’t have to be a negative experience. In fact, it can actually be empowering.
Shapewear can help us to accentuate our already delicious bodies, flaunting our hourglass figures or even sculpting our boobs in a way that will have our jaws on the floor when we look at our reflections.
The problem is: most shapewear isn’t super pretty. Most — but not all. Scroll down to see three Australian shapewear brands, that not only offer some of the best in quality, fit and diversity, but also look super pretty too.
Nancy Ganz
Nancy Ganz
Nancy Ganz is not only one of Australia’s best shapewear brands; it’s the original.
In the 1990s, Nancy Ganz revolutionised the intimate apparel industry with the introduction of the Hip Slip. This modernisation of the antiquated girdle elevated the category from historically unattractive and uncomfortable control garments, to shapewear.
Its latest Jasmine collection is feminine and light, combining recycled nylon with power mesh to create comfort and sustainability.
We love this Jasmine Balconette Underwire Bra ($69.95) for ultimate boob sculpting, and this Body Define Bodysuit ($139.95) for full shaping.
We’re also super into these Enchante High-Waisted Briefs ($35.90) that are basically just gorgeous high-waisted undies, doubling as shapewear. Oh, and they’re on sale!
Curvy Power
Curvy Power
CurvyPower is a relatively new brand in the Australian market. It’s all about making women feel sexy and confident and want to give more value to diverse shapes and sizes.
Its designs are diverse, targeting different areas of the body such as abs, tum and boobs, while having a focus on sexy designs; that actually feel cute to wear.
We adore this Seamless Cross Compression Abs Shaper Brief ($44.99) because it’s aimed to accentuate your hourglass (not hide it) and looks super sexy while doing it.
B Free Australia
B Free Intimate Apparel
B Free has everything from supportive sports bras and leggings, to shapewear that doubles as swimwear, to your classic body suits.
Its designs are classic and chic and honestly; are cute enough to be worn as an actual dress.
We love this Underbust Shaping Slip ($64.99), perfect for wedding season.
