Shapewear Guide
How to find the perfect shapewear for your body
Why use shapewear?
Shapewear is used for smoothing out the canvas underneath so that your outfit can be the center of attention instead of wardrobe distractions like visible panty lines or bulges. It is also used to accentuate your natural figure and curves. Discover Siella's confidence-boosting pieces that can be worn all day, every day.
Shaping styles to use by target area
Waist & Tummy
If you are like most women and your tummy spills out of the top of your waistband, then our shapewear shorts and panties, like the Sculpt Shaping Brief can help shape and smooth your tummy and waist. Ideal for high-waisted trousers, skirts and dresses.
Thighs
Whether you're looking for shaping, smoothing, anti-chafing or an extra layer of security, shaping shorts will lay well under almost any garment.
If you are wearing a fitted dress, you will need to choose something that tapers off on your thighs, like our No-Show Shapewear Short with laser-cut edges.
Hips & Bum
If you want to accentuate your silhouette and smooth out your hips and bum, shaping briefs and shorts are both ideal choices. Make sure it has extra bonding, like our Invisible Shaping Panty.
Shapewear control levels
Light
Smoothes any lumps and bumps under clothes. Will have a lot of stretch, but will still feel supportive. Perfect for everyday use.
Medium
Offers a little more support and firmness than light control. This will emphasize and sculpt your curves a bit more and can still be worn often.
Firm
Rigid fabric that offers the most contouring. A good option for special occasion use, doesn't offer everyday comfort.
