Shapewear suggestions needed!

Hi everyone! I recently bought my dress, a stunning Melissa Sweet lace and organza trumpet gown. Since I wasn't exactly planning on buying a trumpet/mermaid style (since those styles tend to show everything on bigger bodies but I just fell in love with this dress I couldn't say anything but yes!) I now need to find some shapewear. I'm a size 14 (love my curves!) and I want to look nice and smooth and tucked in all over without the hassle of the shapewear rolling. Any suggestions ladies???

    Hey! I've worn spanx before and I had issues with it rolling. It's been a few years though so I may have to try them out again if I can't find anything else. Thanks!

    So with shapewear they have different 'support' types.  I've noticed the 'Heavier' support the more the tendency to roll on them.  See if you can get a lighter/mid-level support instead of 'super sucked in'.

    Also after the dress is fitted properly, it might not have room to roll down.  You'll have several fittings when your dress comes in, I know I was able to try a few different bras at my fitting, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to try a few different shapewear garments.

    It could be that the shapewear was rolling because it was slightly too small. The last time I bought Spanx was for my wedding and I was running in to that problem with certain styles. The consultant advised me to try sizing up with those styles to see if the problem went away and it did.

    Are you wearing a bra with your dress at all? Some shapewear comes with loops at the top that will hook to your bra as an extra barrier against any rolling.
