The high-waisted shorty is also a piece worth a closer look. The firmness of the high-waisted shaping shorty, which comes up just under the bust, helps sculpt the waist and slim the hips, giving your figure a more feminine, more defined profile.

✦ A-shaped body type

You have relatively narrow, slim shoulders and upper body, and a small bust. In contrast, you have wider hips and fuller thighs. That’s the classic A-shaped figure, which is very common. You might wear a size S or XS on top and a size M or L on the bottom!

The shaping shorty designed to sculpt your hips, buttocks and thighs is your best ally in this situation. To smooth your lower body and make it more harmonious with your upper body, your shapewear lingerie needs to shape and contour your buttocks, thighs and pelvis.

✦ O-shaped body type

Your body is all about curves! Voluptuous, with beautiful, full, feminine and generous shapes. Your waist is slightly defined or not defined at all, you have a wide pelvis and shapely thighs. You also have a generous bust and a tummy.

It’s absolutely perfect for O-shaped figures, showcasing a voluptuous, incredibly feminine beauty!

The high-waisted shaping and sculpting panty is also a great option. It provides the right level of firmness and compression to the abdomen and core.
