Today, we talk about how some of us literally put up a fight with it to stop it from rolling down despite buying the right size of shapewear. Whether you are wearing high waist shapewear or strapless shapewear, in theory, they should fit like a glove. If you have done everything from pulling it up as far as it can go to sticking it with glue (not really!), you need to think one step ahead and buy yourself shapewear hold-me-ups!
The hold-me-ups anchor your high waist shapewear in place so that you don’t have to worry about pulling it up every time you bend or sit. However, imagine being at one of the parties you thought about slaying when while sipping on your glass of vino, you hear a PING!
You mentally take note of all the possible wardrobe malfunctions when suddenly it hits you. It is that darn shapewear, and the much-dreaded roll down is in progress. You run to the loo, but what can you do? What are your options? Here are some quick fixes that can save you from embarrassment:
You must drastically reposition it by pulling the waistband really high. Take it up as high as it can go, and then tuck it under your bra. It will be like tucking your vest into your pants, and it will hold the shapewear in place.
If you are a frequent shapewear wearer, you must have some tape in your purse at all times. In case you don’t, ask your friends who have that sort of thing. Even sellotape would do for emergencies. You can stick it to the inside of the waistband to form a grip strip that will work for the evening.
When wearing the shapewear, make sure your bum is in the right bit of the shapewear. If you wear it too low around your bum, it will naturally slip down over time. Re-seat your shapewear by scooching the bum and gusset up and wiggle it to get it to fall in a natural place.
The last quick fix is to fold the waistband down under itself that will form a lower, tighter band. For this fix to work, your dress needs to be forgiving enough to make sure you don’t look lumpy.
The most common reason for the shapewear to roll down is that it is not the right size or fit. You might have purchased one that is too tight or too small for your size. The grip, too, might not be good. Whichever the reason, both cause the shapewear to roll down.
N-Fini brings you ways to save yourself from the whole situation. These include:
