What is the best shapewear for every wedding dress style?

The first step in choosing the right wedding undergarments is identifying your dress silhouette. For example, a gown with a high slit requires specialized shapewear, such as shorter-cut mid-thigh shapers or one-legged styles to stay invisible. Select your dress style below to jump directly to the best shapewear for your look.

If you thought choosing a wedding dress with an open back would mean having to sacrifice shapewear, think again. This bodysuit from SKIMS is one of our favorite shapewear options for a backless or low-back dress. It offers strong, targeted support around the stomach, while keeping the back free.

Standout review: "I absolutely love this bodysuit. Had purchased a low back dress for a Gala event and was having a hard time finding a bra. After multiple purchases and returns, I went to the internet and this was one of the first items that popped, purchased it, it was delivered on time and fit perfectly. Highly recommend this bodysuit, you won't be disappointed." –Teri G, skims.com

The Best Shapewear Shorts for a Backless or Open-Back Dress: SKIMS Sheer Sculpt Low Back Short

If your wedding dress has an open back but is also strapless or features illusion sleeves, you'll want to avoid visible straps. In this case, low-back shorts are a better choice than a full bodysuit. Our pick: the SKIMS Sheer Sculpt Low Back Short. The fabric is lightweight yet smoothing, and it features soft side-seam boning to help prevent the waistband from rolling

Standout review: "These are perfect for my low back wedding dress. I was worried they'd be uncomfortable or not low enough but they were amazing! I had them on for an hour during my first fitting and did not even realize I was wearing them!" –Melissa B, skims.com

With its plunging neckline, convertible straps and a low back featuring a removable clasp, it's the ultimate foundation for gowns with deep-V fronts. It even features a thong back so you can say goodbye to visible panty lines.

Standout review: "I had the hardest time finding shapewear on the market that would fit my strapless, plunge neckline dress for a black-tie wedding I was going to and I can safely say I looked EVERYWHERE. Not only did Shapellx offer the only shapewear that was designed to fit perfectly under my dress, with convertible straps it allows for me to wear it under a strapless dress and it's a reasonable price, especially compared to some of the other more popular brand name options. Great quality, adjustable, and a purchase I'm happy I made. I definitely recommend getting one yourself!" —Mercedes, Shapellx.com

The biggest frustration with strapless shapewear—or strapless anything—is the constant struggle to keep it in place. This bridal undergarment is different. It features integrated boning for back support, underwire cups for lift, and silicone strips along the leg bands and back for a secure, non-slip grip. Plus, it includes a set of convertible straps (in both matching and clear finishes) that can be styled in criss-cross, halter or one-shoulder configurations, ensuring you won't spend your wedding night pulling your shapewear back up.

Standout review: "I just wore this under my dress for my son's wedding and it was very comfortable. It had just the right touch of support and the crotch had bra clips to open and shut…so going to the bathroom with a gown and bodysuit on was a cinch. Buy it! Buy two!"–PattiAnn, barenecessities.com

Your wedding is likely the last place you'd want to have visible panty lines, which is why many to-be-weds opt for thong shapewear. SKIMS' seriously high-waisted thong hits just below the bust, which provides strong compression along the tummy and waist. A silicone-lined underband prevents rolling, while the generous gusset ensures a comfortable, secure fit.

Standout review: "I cannot recommend this enough! I held back on wearing some dresses or shirts because of the evident rolls or bumps you can see through the clothes. This shapewear does what is promised, and I have finally gotten back my confidence in wearing certain clothes after three babies!" –Amanda, skims.com

Standout review: "I purchased the SuperPower brief to wear under my wedding dress and it does exactly what it claims. I felt held in and smoothed in all the right places, while still being comfortable. It does not roll down after wearing for several hours.

Fabrics that cling to the body feel ethereal and romantic, but they are notoriously unforgiving. When shopping for shapewear for a crepe or silk wedding dress, you need truly seamless pieces to ensure that boning, stitching or edges don't show through. The solution? A full-coverage bodysuit for a uniform, smooth line from the bust to the thighs. This SKIMS option is even designed without side seams for an ultra-sleek finish. Better still, this top-rated bodysuit is under $100 and features an open-bust neckline, giving you the freedom to pair it with your own favorite bra while it smooths and contours your silhouette.

Standout Review: "I recently purchased the Seamless Sculpt Butt Lifting Open Bust Bodysuit to wear under my bridesmaid dress, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the results. First of all, the comfort was impressive. I wore it for over 6 hours on the wedding day and barely noticed it was on. The material of the bodysuit is soft, breathable, didn't dig into my skin, and it stayed put all night even during dancing and mingling. I felt completely at ease and was happy that I did not need to make awkward adjustments." —Melinda B., skims.com

Standout review: "This really does hold you in, you will have a smooth stomach and cinched waist.

More Expert-Approved Bridal Shapewear to Complete Your Look

If we've learned one thing from analyzing thousands of reviews, it's that every person's preference is unique. While some like to size down for maximum compression, others size up for all-day comfort; some prioritize the coverage of a mid-thigh shaper, while others require the invisibility of a thong. While your dress silhouette is the primary guide, your personal comfort is just as vital. Here are a few more of our favorite high-quality bridal shapewear picks that offer the perfect balance of support and breathability.

SKIMS Seamless Sculpt High-Waisted Above the Knee Shorts

These thigh-slimming shapewear shorts are a favorite among customers, and for good reason. They offer strong, targeted support around the stomach and thighs, while lifting and smoothing the booty. Since they're a bit longer than other bridal shapewear shorts, they also prevent thigh chafing (which you'll appreciate while you're tearing up the dance floor at your reception).

Standout review: "Call me snatched!!!!! The legs on this piece are a little longer than I thought they would be, but that's great and it's a nice, comfortable option. No rolling or hard edges with spillage. Super supportive without feeling tight and restrictive. [They're] incredible!" —Andrea L., skims.com

Size range: XXS–4X | Colors: 8 | Compression: Firm

Honeylove SuperPower Short

You'll spend a lot of time on your feet during your wedding, so it's important to choose wedding dress undergarments that you can move and groove in. That's where Honeylove's SuperPower Shorts come in. Their superpower is providing all-day comfort through features like double-knit compression panels, flexible boning and an open gusset.

Standout review: "I bought a few different shapewear pieces and this was by far my favorite. I purchased it for a wedding I was in—I wore a satin dress. It was both comfortable and forming! Really liked the shorts option. So happy with my purchase." —Sinead, honeylove.com

When it comes to the best shapewear for wedding dresses, these shorts are high on our list.

Their light compression fabric works to reduce chafing and the appearance of cellulite while simultaneously offering a light butt-lifting effect.

Standout review: "I was impressed by the Honeylove SuperPower Thong! The compression is firm yet comfortable, and it really smooths everything out without feeling restrictive. I love that it stays in place all day with no rolling or pinching at the waistband. The thong back is perfect for wearing under fitted dresses or pants since it leaves no lines at all. The material feels high quality and breathable, which makes it easy to wear for long periods. It gives a seamless, confident look and is definitely one of the best shapewear pieces I've tried." —Ebonie, honeylove.com

Wearing a corset under your wedding dress is a good idea if you want targeted support around your waist but would rather breathe freely everywhere else. It's also an ideal solution if a one-piece bodysuit just won't work for your dress silhouette. You can pair this low-back bustier-style corset with the bridal panties of your choosing to round out your wedding undergarments.

Standout review: "Once you find your size, this corset is a hit! It holds everything together nicely and is super comfortable! I do recommend sizing down as my regular size fit a bit loose." –Ashley, barenecessities.com

Engineered with three layers of abdominal compression, it remains remarkably easy to wear thanks to a discreet front zipper and internal hooks that stay invisible under your gown. The standout feature for many is the targeted "booty-lifting" design, paired with a convenient zippered gusset for ease throughout the day. Dual steel boning prevents rolling at the waist, while the extended lace leg bands feature an anti-slip grip to ensure a smooth, stay-put finish that won't pinch or show, even under the most form-fitting fabrics.

Standout review: "The item fits great! It slims and smooths all the right spots. It's very comfortable and I don't feel "stuffed" into anything tight. I was worried the zip line would show but even that is well made and hidden. What's even better is the EXCELLENT customer service of this company. I needed to exchange for a different size and they stayed in constant communication with me about my order and replaced the item within a week of me submitting a return. Will definitely purchase from them again." —Mia C., shapellx.com

Standout review: "When it came out of the box I clutched my pearls a little because it looked teeny tiny, but after some wiggling it stretched out to fit fine. It is very, very comfortable. It doesn't bunch, the legs don't roll up. Perfection. If you have boobs, you will probably need to wear a bra under. I'm a D cup and I definitely have to wear a bra with this, but it is still very comfortable and fits like it was made to expect that. Worth every penny, and I'll be ordering the low back version next." –Jennifer V, skims.com

The material is very strong so you won't poke through it easily, yet it feels very thin. They're comfy under clothing. They are tight, so you might get a size up."–Jayne R, spanx.com

What Should You Look For in Wedding Dress Shapewear?

After spending hours—if not days—perfecting your wedding ensemble, the final layer is selecting the foundation that makes it all possible. To guide you, we've paired our own expertise with insights from Betsie Larkin, founder of Honeylove and Ratchel Pinlac, founder of Pinsy, to highlight exactly what to prioritize when shopping for bridal shapewear.

1. Structure

When choosing bridal shapewear for your wedding dress, consider the level of structure and compression you want. "First and foremost, you want a piece that won't roll up or down," says Larkin. "Needing to constantly adjust your shapewear throughout the night is an unnecessary distraction and, frankly, not worth any of the potential benefits." Light-to-medium compression shapewear is made from lighter sculpting fabrics and provides gentle smoothing with minimal shaping. It's a great option if you want to feel like you're not wearing shapewear but still desire coverage. Higher-compression shapewear, such as bodysuits or corsets, can offer more firm control and sculpting. Wedding shapewear should never be too constricting though. You should always be able to take full breaths and not have any loss of circulation.

2. Silhouette

Larkin suggests focusing on compatibility with your chosen wedding attire. Start with your outfit's overall silhouette. Slips and bodysuits are great options for mermaid skirts and slip dresses, as a continuous undergarment will help prevent any visible lines or creases. "For a tighter-fitting dress, a thong style might be necessary to achieve a seamless look," Larkin advises. On the flip side, minimal shapewear works well with more loosely fitted attire (think: A-line dresses and ball gowns).

3. Style

Consider any other stylistic elements that might dictate what kind of shapewear you choose, like if your dress is backless or has a high leg slit. Surprisingly, there are lots of special shapewear options that complement unique cutouts and necklines designed specifically for various dress silhouettes. For example, if you have a form-fitting sheath dress, consider options like a shapewear thong, which offer seamless coverage without visible panty lines. If your dress has a plunging neckline, the Shapellx Backless Plunge Thong Bodysuit provides hidden support and enhances your natural curves.

4. Color

When it comes to color, it's often recommended to opt for shapewear for bridal gowns that come in nude or flesh tones to blend seamlessly under your wedding dress. "While we all associate weddings with white, if your dress is made of a thinner material, white is probably not the best choice," says Larkin. Brands like SPANX, SKIMS and Honeylove offer a wide range of nude colors to easily find a match for your skin tone. If your heart is set on white shapewear because it gives you bride vibes, just be sure to try it on with your wedding dress first to make sure that nothing shows through.

5. Comfort

Let's be real—no one wants itchy or tight wedding shapewear to distract them while they say their vows. "Choose something that is breathable, lays flat and doesn't poke or dig," says Pinlac. "There is nothing worse than feeling uncomfortable and suffocated on your wedding day." It's a good idea to test out your shapewear beforehand to make sure it fits comfortably. If you notice that your wedding dress shapewear restricts your breathing, causes pain or discomfort, leaves marks on your skin or causes bulges, this can be a sign that you need to size up or try a different style.

Wedding Shapewear FAQ

Still have questions about shapewear under wedding dresses? Read on for more expert advice to help you pick the best wedding shapewear for your dress.

Do I have to wear shapewear under my wedding dress?

Of course not! It's all about finding the wedding dress undergarments you're most comfortable in. While some feel their best in a standard set of underwear or sexy bridal lingerie, others prefer the structure and support that shapewear has to offer. You definitely don't have to wear a shaping slip, bodysuit or shorts to complete your wedding look. But if you think you'd feel more comfortable in an extra-supportive undergarment, go for it. Just like all of your wedding-planning decisions up to now, it's about finding the right option for you.

If I plan to wear shapewear on my wedding day, should I wear it to my wedding dress fittings?

Yes, you should definitely bring your bridal shapewear to your wedding dress fittings, especially because it can affect how the dress will fit on your body. Wearing shapewear during fittings allows you to see how it looks and feels with your dress and ensure that everything fits properly. This way, any necessary adjustments can be made to accommodate the shapewear.

How much should I expect to spend on wedding shapewear?

The cost of wedding shapewear can vary depending on the brand, style and quality. Basic shapewear options can start at around $30, while more specialized or high-end options can range from $50 to $150 or more. It's important to consider your budget and prioritize the features and support you need when choosing your shapewear.

Should I wear my shapewear before my wedding day?

If you plan on investing in wedding dress shapewear, it's a good idea to give it a "test run" before the big day. This will give you a chance to get accustomed to wearing it, check for any discomfort or fit issues, and confirm that it provides the desired level of support and shaping. You can wear it for a few hours at a time around the house, to a friend's wedding or on a date night leading up to the wedding to test its comfort and effectiveness.
