Heya
Personally id say if you can get away with wearing a contour vest under your dress rather than pants I would as I think they work so much better
I have some really good shapewear which i bought from Simply Be and its the silhouette range the vest is the thing I wear the most it smooths out the bumps rather than pushing them elsewhere but I also have the pants (both the boy shorts & the ones that look like cycling shorts ) and they really do hold you in
Also I have some intimates control wear I got from Very they are really good also , I bought a few more of the vest tops on ebay new I liked them so much
basically although a fan of holdy in pants im more a fan of a holdy in vest .. it looks less like scaffolding in if the OH spots it ;-)
