Have you ever bought shapewear?

I never have, I don't even know what size I would be. I was looking into the assets collection at target because Spanx are just out of my budget. I was always against pantyhose and tights they were so uncomfortable but I just bought this sweater material dress online and definitely need a tummy controller thanks to having DD lol. I am on a diet right now, I have always been a bigger girl and a weird size. Right now I am like a medium on top or like a size 10 and then a 16 - 18w on the bottom. Has anyone tried this brand? I was thinking about getting the leggings because this dress is a little to short for my taste due to my huge rump!

 yes and they are amazing!! I wore a size 14 on bottom and I wore an XL in shapewear, now I am a size 10 on bottom and I am a large, so I would go for either an XL or XXL if I were you.

Another benefit to shapewear is the back support. I noticed that it was easier to pick up the kiddos (not that it has ever been hard) but something about the shapewear (I wear the one that covers the tummy & thighs) that just helps my back.

I hope you get it and LOVE it!!

lol that is why I don't want to spend the money on Spanx in case they suck. These target ones are way cheaper so I figure if it sucks oh well. Just not sure what size I am lol 1 2 3 4 5

 I've tried Dr Rey's and Spanx.

Best I've ever used came from Target and cost like 10 bucks.

i have friends that swear by spanx.  i refuse to use any of it.  if i can't look good in it the way i naturally am then i don't want to wear it.  thats just crazy personal issues i have though.  but i have heard mixed reviews on all the garments ment for that, some ppl love them, some hate them.
