Natural Shaper Tights

How much shaping do I need?

Light shapers give gentle smoothing, such as the Gipsy Invisible Comfort Waistband Shaper and Aristoc Ultimate Sheer Luxury 15 Denier Smoothing Tights. Medium shapers, such as the Gipsy 15 Denier Hourglass Shaper, Pretty Legs Luxury 15 Denier Body Shaping and Wolford Tummy 20 Control Top, have a defined control panel. For firm control, the Pretty Polly Patterned Brief Firm Shaper and Charnos Killer Figure Sheer Control hold the tummy and hips more firmly. Light shapers are comfortable for a full working day, while firm shapers suit occasions with a fitted dress.

Which natural shaper tights look sheerest?

The Gipsy 8 Denier Body Toner Shaper has a matte finish and a very sheer leg, so it looks like a fine natural tight. The Gipsy 10 Denier Tum, Bum and Thigh Shaper also gives a sheer look while shaping the tummy, bottom and thighs. The Gipsy 20 Denier Invisible Top Shaper is designed so the waistband does not show a line. The Pretty Polly Sheer Longline Shaper has a longer control panel that smooths down to the thigh. A natural shade means the control panel is less visible under pale or thin fabrics, which suits summer dresses.

How should shaper tights fit?

Shaper tights should feel firm around the tummy and hips but should not dig in or roll at the waist. If you are between sizes, the larger size is usually more comfortable for a long day. Natural shapers suit weddings, summer events and fitted dresses. The Gipsy 10 Denier Tum, Bum and Thigh Shaper Tights come with a cotton gusset and flat seams that sit smoothly under clothes. Remove rings before putting them on. See Shaper Tights.
