Determine the right shapewear camisole: Size, Control, and Fabric

To accentuate your curves, you need the right kind of shaping camis and slips. To get the right look, you must choose a shapewear camisole that suits your style and body type and style. Let’s look into a few important factors you must focus on while buying shapewear camisoles:

• Size

While chasing a slimmer look, many women opt for the smallest size of slimming camisoles. If you buy a shapewear camisole that’s too small, you will feel weirdly uncomfortable and might end up showing more bulges! The main focus of wearing a shapewear camisole is to get a smoothened finish and not to suck yourself in. When you choose the right size of camisole shapewear, your body will look sexy, and there will be no need to constantly pull and tug your shapewear. If you are unsure of your size, Zivame’s size chart will assist you in finding your correct size.

• Control or compression level

Like any other shapewear, slimming camisoles come with different compression levels. The right shapewear camisole will give your dresses a better and smoother fit. From light, medium and firm, decide which will work best for you:

• Light Control Shapewear Camisole: The light control shapewear keeps you comfortable the whole day long. Offering a slight smoothing, light control slimming shapewear is a great option for first-time users.

• Medium Control Shapewear Camisole: If you are longing for a smoother, trimmer silhouette, a medium control slimming camisole is your go-to option. This allows you to flaunt your curves confidently without sacrificing comfort. Suitable for evening outings or casual dates, the medium control shapewear will never fail you.

• Firm or Heavy Control Shapewear Camisole: Looking for extra support for an extra sexy look? Look no further than firm control slimming shapewear. With its cutting-edge design, they give you a sexier silhouette. However, they are extremely restrictive, therefore, save them for special occasions, and remember to wear them for a shorter duration to avoid health-related inconveniences.

• Fabric

While finalising the fabric for your shapewear camis, look out for two things. The first and most important is that the fabric is comfortable, and second, the fabric should match your outfit. However, the most suitable fabrics for shapewear camisoles are fabrics like spandex, polyester, polyamide, nylon, lycra, or a blend of them. For instance: Polyamide Cotton Spandex, with its great texture, is highly durable with excellent elasticity and good stretch. The comfortable and absorbent feature makes it a much-appreciated fabric for slimming camisoles. Furthermore, polyamide is wrinkle-resistant, durable, easy to wash, and extremely light in weight; you can never go wrong with these fabrics in shapewear camisole. Lastly, nylon infused with lycra is suitable for slimming camis and slips as it ensures great stretch and recovery.

• Try and test your shapewear

We highly recommend you try the shapewear camisoles with your wardrobe staples. In many cases, the size and design of slimming camis can clash with your outfit, giving an unflattering profile. So, whether it’s your favourite glaze top, cocktail dress, or a simple T-shirt, try it out with the slimming shapewear to ascertain if you are getting your desired look or not. Finally, when you look at yourself in the mirror, do not just focus on a slim look; watch out for where you are feeling uncomfortable, check if the shapewear is restricting your normal breathing and if it is peeking out of the outfit from any corner. Zivame has easy return policies and we will help you match with a perfect shapewear camisole so that you continue to feel oh-so-sexy!

Precautions while choosing shapewear camisole

Moderation is the key to using shapewear camisoles as there are some risks on the health front from constricting your body each day. You can choose different shapes and styles of camisole to address this problem. Some problems to watch for include:

• Moisture trapped between tight fabrics can lead to skin problems and irritation. If the shapewear camisole irritates your skin, stop wearing it until the place heals.
• You might get allergic reactions to the material used in shapewear. If you develop hives or rashes, do not wear the garment and change the fabric.
• If you combine a shapewear camisole with thigh shapers that are too tight, you might hold your urine for long, which can lead to bladder infection or even UTI (Urinary Tract Infection).
• Too tight slimming camisoles can lead to acid reflux, feeling bloated, and an upset stomach.
• Firm or too restrictive shapewear camisoles can also lead to pinched nerves and circulatory problems.

Keeping these problems in mind, you can go on to change the size and brand of the shapewear to make sure it is comfortable enough to wear daily.

2. Is it OK to Wear Shapewear Every Day?

Yes, shapewear can be worn every day as long as you are comfortable in it and it does not bother you. Shapewear gives you support in the right places to help you feel more confident.

Depending on the problem areas to target in your body, you can select the shapewear: stomach, butt or thighs.

3. Can Shapewear Reshape Your Body Permanently?

While the shapewear can help you trim a few inches, it cannot reshape your body permanently. As soon as you remove the shapewear, your body will return to its natural form. The shapewear is only designed to flatter your physique, and they do not cause any permanent changes. The compression provided by the shapewear is the result of different materials used in combination to help you address the troublesome areas. While you are wearing it, shapewear can smooth out your figure to provide you with a silhouette with a few inches shaved off and make them look more controlled. Compression material impacts of the shapewear are worn off as soon as you take them off, and it cannot help burn calories.

4. What's a Camisole Used for?

A camisole is an undergarment for the upper body. Worn by women, camisoles have a tight grip on the shoulders and range from loose, skimming, or tight fits. To provide a better grip, many camisoles even come with built-in bras. While this simple piece of clothing has multiple uses, a few major ones are listed below:

• It provides a better grip on outfits, even if it is a simple t-shirt. Especially with a built-in bra camisole, you can give a better grip on your upper body.

• Just do it with an elegant camisole if you want to create your style. You can wear a jacket over a camisole and flaunt your sleek style.
• Camisoles help you in keeping warm in the winter months.
• A camisole is very comfortable and provides the right kind of support to women who regularly indulge in sports, gym, yoga, or running.
5. Do You Wear Camisole Shapewear with a Bra?

Shapewear camisoles can be worn with or without a bra, depending on your need. These camisoles are built for their functionality. You can layer a smooth-cupped bra or a strapless bra under the camisole for a polished look. However, if you are not looking for layering but need more support or added coverage to add to your looks, then you need to look for a shapewear camisole with a bra sewn into it or also known as a built-in-bra. This is a popular option that offers an all-in-one solution to those looking for support and structure provided by the traditional bra and flexibility provided by the camisole in one single garment.

You have options of light, medium or firm to choose from. Classic camisole shapewear can be paired with a suit jacket for a professional look at work. This can amp up your look, enhance your self-esteem and make you feel more confident.
