What kind of shapewear?

So after having my body shaper continuously roll down & create a lovely bump in my dress at FB & SIL's wedding, I'm realizing I need to find a different kind/brand.

I just picked up a cheap one from Maurices, & which I'm now realizing is a high waist thigh shaper, & I'm assuming that's why I was having issues.... Oops!  = )

I need to find something that will work with my dress, here's a pic of it...



I'm having cups put into the dress, & the top will be somewhat of a low v. 

Any thoughts or ideas on what type of shapewear or brand of shapewear I should look into? 

TIA ladies!  = )

    Spanx are honestly the best....they really suck you in and keep you there all night. I would say the only negative is sometimes they are a little too constrictive. Good Luck!

    Spanx all the way! Part of what's amazing about Spanx is they're patented not to roll. I would absolutely recommend anything in their line (I wear "Higher Power" daily). For my wedding, I'm wearing Hide & Sleek, which is a little bit thicker and has a more luxurious feel to it. But really, you can't go wrong with Spanx. With your dress, I'd make sure you get something with a high waist so you can get it all the way up to the seam. Here's what I'm wearing:

    I used the super high shorts style spanx.  They go all the way up to just below your boobs.  No issues whatsoever with slipping or rolling.

    Similar cut as my dress, I wore Victoria's Secret Hug Me Tight in nude and loved it. I found it more comfortable than Spanx, which I own too.  I chose it because of the fit and because it was totally seamless.

    This is what I had. They had a crotch that stretches super wide so I didn't have to struggle to pull them down and back up to pee.
