Finding the right holiday dress is only part of the challenge-the rest comes down to shapewear, which helps create a smooth silhouette and a confidence boost. Celebrity stylist Samantha Brown told E! that shopping for shapewear works best once you've chosen your outfit. "I recommend shopping for shapewear with a specific garment in mind," she said, advising shoppers to try pieces on with the garment to confirm they work.
Brown lists strapless bodysuits, high-waisted thong underwear and shaping slips among the essentials. For backless, strapless and plunging necklines, she said a strapless style is essential, and stylists have been known to trim a leg off a brief for a high-slit dress.
To stay comfortable all night, Brown suggests shapewear with plastic grip along the seams, plus cooling, sweat-preventing materials and seamless construction. She also recommends checking the final look in a three-way mirror to make sure the shapewear works from the front, back and sides.
