Bodysuits and cinchers for special occasion dresses
By Carla Snuggs

As you may know, my go-to shapewear retailer is Hourglass Angel. Not only because they are effective, they last forever, and they have a wide variety of shapewear styles to meet my needs, but because I love that you have an option to chat with a stylist to find the right shapewear for you.

Just because summer is over doesn't mean special events are over as well – it's just the beginning! September, and October are among the most popular months for weddings and the holidays are right around the corner. From cocktail parties to wedding receptions and even bridal showers, you can lay the perfect foundation for any style with key shapewear pieces. The right shaper will not only make your dress feel more polished and put together, but it will smooth and accentuate your figure for the best fit.

For special occasions, there are a variety of garments from HourglassAngel.com designed to transform your whole silhouette so you can look spectacular in formal apparel.

 Bodysuits – For Midsection, Hips, Butt and Thighs

This type of garment is designed to provide smoothing so you can look flawless under your sexiest clothes. They provide slimming and shaping for the midsection, hips, butt and thighs. Often your best bet is a bodysuit like the Amia Mid-Thigh Lace Trimmed Bodysuit which will slim your midsection while helping to emphasize your curves, all with a sexy-smooth finish. This garment provides firm coverage from over your braline to your thighs. Nothing but smooth from top to bottom! Try - Amia Mid-Thigh Lace Trimmed Bodysuit (below). This is my go-to for overall slimming and for any kind of body-con outfit where you want to look sleek.  

Waist Cinchers – for the Midsection

If your goal is a slimmer, firmer waistline, especially in form-fitting or formal attire, a waist cincher is your go to shaper. That coveted hourglass shape is possible with one of Hourglassangel.com's most popular styles: the Amia Classic Cincher Waist Trainer. Pull it out for special occasions or wear it regularly to look stunning every day. It will instantly slim down and define your waistline, while also enhancing and lifting your bust. With a firm shaping for your whole midsection, it provides an all-over torso makeover under curve hugging dresses. Try: Amia Classic Waist Cincher
