I'm looking for a good bodyshaper to wear with semi-clingy dresses. I've tried the Spanx that are like shorts, but they always roll down on my belly, then create an even worse muffin top! Any suggestions?

    Look for the super high-waisted shapers. I get them from Target or Kohl's - they look like super tall underwear (not shorts) and the 'waist' band goes right up under my bra band - smoothing out both the belly roll and that little bump under the bra band. Good luck!

    Victoria Secrets makes and amazing body shaper....expensive but worth it in the end. Or try for a full one with straps, they tend to work better also because they'll hide any back fat, wont move, and make your boobs look nicer

    I had that problem with Spanx and another brand that I can't remember the name. What I do that works best is I do a Spanx tank (Only works with some dresses and surely not strapless and pull control top pantyhose over the bottom of the tank. I have a friend who swears by spanks shorts and she says she just pulls them high enough up and she gets no roll down. I know Loft carries a brand (other than Spanx).

    ^^ The one with the straps. I wore it under my homecoming dress! Made me look like an hourglass ;D

    I think that's my problem. I've been getting the ones that hit at the belly button.

    Look into Flexees. I absolutely love them and they have all types www.maidenform.com. They are also available at jcpenny, macys, etc...

    If they are rolling down you have bought a size too small. You might want to try the Spanx that are high waisted. They are not the world's most comfortable things but for special events they are nice. Spanx also has high waisted control tights that are pretty great (do not wear stuff like this if you are going to be eating much food-I always get a stomach ache if I do!)

    ETA: I hate that if you hug people too closely it is SO obvious you have Spanx on. It's like hugging a wall LOL!

    This is what I use too....LOVE IT!

    I fit into the weight/height on their sizing chart, so I don't think that's the issue-- for someone so short (5'4"), I'm extremely long-waisted, though, so I think I just need the taller ones.

    That is exactly why, when I attended a wedding recently, I wore a shaper like this: http://goo.gl/uSXIG

    Because it comes up under the bra and is high on the back it gives a smoother look than the panty type. I seldom wear something like this because I don't dress up even once a year.

    I agree with the poster that said flexees. I used to wear the kinds that fits like a bathing suit (with crotch snaps).. but the breast area is cut low so that you can wear you own bra.

    Try Sweet Nothings from Wal-Mart....these have been the best I've tried so far. It's a legging but I'm sure you could cut them if you need to. The waist is high and they never roll down....

    Maidenform makes bodyshaper camisoles that are sold at walmart and target under a different name.

    At walmart they are "sweet nothings". I don't remember the name at target.
    They have cami-style spaghetti straps. They are long enough to go over your hips, so they don't roll up and bulge.
    They are very comfortable. They have other styles, too ... unitard, shaper panties, bodysuit, body briefer, etc.
