While you should never feel pressured to wear shapewear for a big event, shaping undergarments can help you look and feel your best as you celebrate life's big moments.

Whether you're walking down the aisle or finding your perfect mother of the bride dress, body-shaping undergarments, such as waist cinchers and bodysuits, can offer support and comfort while remaining virtually invisible to those around you.

Depending on your outfit, you may require shapewear with a thong back, plunging neckline, or all-over compression. Additionally, to guarantee your undergarments remain undetectable, it's important to shop from a brand that can match your body shape and skin tone.

From slips to shaping underwear, waist cinchers to thigh shapers, scroll down to shop the best shapewear pieces for women in 2022 for weddings, work events, parties and beyond.
