Shapewear can really make or break an outfit — especially for silky summer dresses and special occasion — but really effective shapewear can be expensive.
While brands such as Spanx and Skims may come to mind first when it comes to shapewear, we’ve found an Amazon dupe that will leave you looking sculpted and smooth at a fraction of the price. Known as faja body shapers, the brand Slimers makes a classic version of these particular shapewear pieces. They are intended to tuck and shape the upper thigh, tummy and back areas so that dresses flow as smoothly as possible. While the original price of $50 is already a markdown from the Skims versions that runs upward of $70, the Slimers are currently marked down even more to $35, which is a major savings.
One of the best parts about this particular bodysuit is that it still manages to tuck and lift at the back, but the bottom half pulls down like shorts. It’s made of durable fabric that won’t lose its shape over time, but that still manages to hold things firmly in place.
While most of these bodysuits are pull-on, this one also features an invisible front-zipper closure that leads up to a hook-and-eye snap that sits just under your bra. The zipper is covered with a discreet non-scratch fabric that will prevent it from showing up under your clothes or irritating your skin. The placement of the zipper also allows for extra tummy support, which makes it a great option for those who are postpartum.
The bodysuit also has adjustable straps that allow it to come up directly under the arm. This is not only great for control and smoothing, but it allows you to pair it with lots of different bra styles.
To get the best size, the brand recommends taking your measurements since these don’t have the fit of traditional clothing. Right now, the Slimers shapewear bodysuit is on sale, so make sure you grab it while all of the sizes are available.
