Hi....i need some advice. I have just given birth to my 2nd child and have a wobbly belly.I am a size 10 bottom but am a size 12 on top. Normal pant controls don't actually work as they just pull the flab up! Could you recommend the best solution as i have my brothers wedding coming up and don't want the bulge.

Thanks.

[susannah]

Hi Sharon
The best way to smooth down the bulge is with all over control - Spanx does a good control slip, or try a control bodysuit by The Body Wrap or, for more firm control, Miraclesuit Shapewear.

Hi Lisa
Our swimwear buyer Sarah Dolan-Abrahams has some recommendations for you. Ballet's Monaco halterneck swimsuit has a dotty halterneck that will draw attention to your cleavage and away from your legs. It also has a matching kaftan. Fantasie's Rumba one-piece is strapless (again, drawing the eye upwards) and has adjustable legs); Triumph's 4 Your Curves one-piece will add a bit of colour to your holiday wardrobe and has a flattering halterneck; Ballet's Antigua also has adjustable legs; or try Freya's dramatic Singapore Sling.

Hi,
Each week when it get to the catwalk bit of the show - there is a (plus size?) blonde model - wearing a black pair of knickers with a lace frill over each leg - like a skirt frill but doesn’t run over the front like the Chantelle shorty style – do you know what these are? They look fab!!
Thanks
Shelley

Hi,
Just watched tonights programme. I love the body shaper that appeared tonight. Cant find it on your website

[Lindsay]

Hi, I'm a size 16 and i've just ordered the Rago waist clincher in XL. Is this the right size for me? I checked the size under briefs section of the size guide!

[subi labinjoh]

hi i wear a size 34HH/36H bra but they never seem to come in strapless so what do i wear underneath my dress when i want to wear a strapless dress

[Alice]

Hi there,
I watched how to look good naked last night and was I'm now wondering which item of lingerie was the one featured on last night's show. It took inches of the lady and had a bra fitted in to it. Please could you let me know which item that was.
Thanks

[Jenny]

Hi there, Please can you help I have the biggest bum in the world and it is really wobbly as well as really sticking out. Can you reccomend anything to try and control it. Thanks

[Victoria]

I am keen to buy a wasit cincher - possibly one for every day wear and one for going out. I am a size 8-10. There seems to be such a big difference in the prices of these, i would appreciate some advice on which one(s) to buy.
Thanks

[susannah]

Hi Sarah C

Have you tried the Wonderbra Multiplunge? It has a strapless option and a low cut front and should give your cleavage a boost.

[susannah]

Hi Lisa
All the figleaves.com products featured at the show are now at the beginning of this post - sorry for the delay!

[susannah]

Hi Subi
I'm afraid you are right - we don't offer strapless bras in a HH cup, I suspect because a strapless bra would not give you enough support. I'd suggest wearing a bra with pretty straps in a similar colour to your dress so that it doesn't matter if a little bit of strap shows.

[susannah]

Hi Jenny
Any good control brief with a longer leg will help to lift your bum and smooth out your silhouette, but Trinny & Susannah's Bum Lifter has been specifically designed for this and is a good one to try. Aristoc also does a bottom shaper tight.

[susannah]

Hi Lindsay
It looks like the right size according to our chart but if you find it doesn't fit then do please let us know and we'll look into it.

[sarah henderson]

hi please help im fed up with my huge belly bra size 36b but waist 34in to incorporate my belly any ideas

[Ros Millett]

I am a size 14-16 dress size but wear a 34G bra. Is it possible to find a supportive body that will fit me around my bottom AND bust as I am not a standard dress size shape? I need something that will support my stomach muscles, smooth my midriff and not dig in when I sit down. Oh - and I don't have a waist anymore...

[joanne]

There is a knickers and bra set on the show each week, shown on one of the catwalk models, it's black and lacy. Is it a thong with the Elle McPherson Coranto Shorty over the top or is it something else?
thank you

[Rachael]

Hi
I'd love a Rago waist cinch but don't know what size to buy, I'm a UK12. I suppose a M or L??
Thanks
Rachael

[Claire]

Hello!

I am a size 14-16 and would like to know if I was to just buy the miracle suit shapewear wast clincher (in episode 1 of How to look good naked) would it be enough to flatten my bulging stomach and love handles as I don't really need the long control pants for my thighs or would I need to wear the waist clincher with control pants for it to work?

Thanks!

Claire

[susannah]

Hi Ros
You might find that a well fitting bra and a separate control pant or slip works better for you. Spanx does a slip that you can attach to your bra for a smooth silhouette.

[susannah]

Hi Victoria
For everyday, any high waist control pant will pull in your waist and smooth down your silhouette (and will work under eveningwear too, of course). Cinchers such as Rago's and Miraclesuit's will give your waist more definition and are great worn under a special occasion dress (designer dresses often have such corsetry built in). A corset like Vollers can be worn as outerwear or as a special bedroom piece.

[susannah]

Hi Sarah
Have you tried shapewear? A control pant or camisole might be good for you - Sassybax does some great camisoles that slim down the whole upper body.

[susannah]

Hi Claire
No, you don't have to wear the waist cincher over control pants if you don't need them - should work fine on its own!

[susannah]

Hi Rachael
Just had a look at our sizing charts (you'll find them in the Shop by Size section of the website) - a medium corresponds to a UK 12.
