How to Find the Right Shapewear For Your Bridesmaid or Wedding Dress

Congratulations on your big day! Once you’ve found the perfect wedding dress and bridesmaids’ dresses of your dreams, let’s make sure your shapewear is top-notch, too.

Whether you’re looking for shapewear for a specific cut of dress or you just want comfortable compression you can feel beautiful in, SKIMS has a solution for your wedding day.  

With SKIMS, you can choose from multiple compression levels and targeted support options—so you get the support you want on the parts of your body you’d like to sculpt.

As always, choose the color that suits you best among our signature palette of color choices. If you’re looking for shapewear for bridesmaids’ dresses, all of your gals should be able to find the right color and coverage for their needs. Just what you’d expect from the shapewear that disrupted the industry!

Shapewear for wedding dresses and bridesmaid dresses

Shapewear for a wedding dress or bridesmaid dress should feel comfortable all day and all evening. You’ll want your bridal shapewear to stay put from the time you walk down the aisle to the last high-energy dance with your new spouse.

It may be time for a bodysuit that will sculpt all the right places but won’t shift around. Try the Mid Thigh Sculpting Bodysuit, which gives you compression in the tummy, shapes and lifts your butt and your chest, and has coverage to mid back.

For a high-cut leg and super flattering shape, try the Sculpting Bodysuit with Snaps. It’s seamless, incredibly soft, and has handy snaps at the crotch for easier access.

Shapewear for backless or low-back wedding dresses

Bare that beautiful back! If you’ve chosen a backless or low-back wedding dress (or a lacey-backed gown), check out the Seamless Sculpt Low Back Bodysuit. It’s an all-in-one low-back shapewear piece that lifts your curves with a hosiery-type leg for lightweight compression on your thighs.

Another option is the Low Back Bodysuit Mid Thigh, which has a deep scoop back, strong compression around the waist, and reaches to mid-thigh.

Both of these options have an open gusset.

If you don’t need a bodysuit and are looking for shapewear for just your bottom half, try the Sheer Sculpt Low Back Short for light support that smooths and targets your hips and thighs with our lightest level of support, featuring a low-plunge back.

Shapewear for strapless dresses

Yes, you can still find shapewear that works under strapless dresses or bridal gowns with sheer shoulders. Start with the Ultra Fine Mesh Strapless Bra and pair it with our popular shapewear underwear or shorts.

For the most compression in a brief, try the Core Control Brief, a high-cut, mid-waist wonder that tightly supports your core while smoothing and shaping your butt. Also available in a Core Control Thong.

For lighter compression, you may prefer the Simply Bare line in the High-Waisted Shortie. These light support underwear reach your ribs and target your hips, waist, and core.

Shapewear for trumpet or mermaid dresses

Mermaid and trumpet silhouettes are known for enhancing and celebrating curves, and SKIMS is known for helping you do just that. For these types of dresses, consider thong options like the Core Control Thong, a mid-rise thong that’s silky smooth. For a full bodysuit thong option, we suggest our light compression Sheer Sculpt Thong Bodysuit with a wide neckline and low scoop back.

For those who want smoothing down the thighs, take a look at the Mid Thigh Sculpting Bodysuit, which gives you strong, targeted compression for your waist, hips, and thighs, while lifting the butt and chest. All of these options will smooth your curves so you look stunning in your fitted gown!

Shapewear for arms

For brides or bridesmaids wearing long sleeves, SKIMS also has shapewear that tones and sculpts the upper arm under your dress. The Open Bust Arm Shaper goes over your head and pairs with a bra, giving you compression across the upper back and arms. Mothers of the bride or groom may also be interested in compressive support in this area.
