When your shaper folds over the second you sit down
Softer shapers look fine standing, then crease at the waist or roll over at the top edge as soon as you sit. By the end of the evening you're tugging at it under your dress.
What it is
A firm underbust waist cincher with close-set vertical boning all the way round. It fastens with hooks down the front and a zip over the top. The front is about 31 cm (12.2 in) long, from under the bust to the hips.
What changes when you wear it
Your waist looks smaller and more defined, and the cincher stays flat and upright when you sit and move. It works while you're wearing it. It doesn't change your body.
Why this one
-
Close-set boning so it holds its shape instead of creasing.
-
Hooks, then zip for an adjustable, flat front.
-
Longer front that covers from under the bust to the hips.
- Nude or black.

FAQ
How long can I wear it?
Start with a few hours and build up if it feels comfortable. Take it off if it pinches, makes breathing difficult or leaves you sore, and don't sleep in it.
Is it suitable after surgery, after birth or during pregnancy?
No. It isn't a medical or recovery garment. Follow your doctor's or surgeon's advice about what to wear.
