What Is Shapewear?
Shapewear is a foundation garment and is designed to impermanently alter the wearer’s body shape so as to achieve a more fashionable figure.
It is used to enhance a bodily feature and make it look more presentable.
Key Points
- Some fabrics are more forgiving than others. Textured fabrics and heavier silks tend to create a more structured gown and some gowns even have a built-in corset to support the bust line as well as other parts of the bride’s body.
- Lighter fabrics, such as silk can be almost transparent. These fabrics normally require a shaping garment to eliminate a panty line.
