Talk about weddings and what comes first to mind are gorgeous bridal dresses. Girls are very particular about their wedding outfits. Planning starts months before the big day. The perfect dress, heels, jewellery and whatnot! But, what about the perfect shapewear for the bridal outfit, do girls often miss out on it?
After following a strict diet routine and sweating for hours at the gym every girl wants to look her best on her wedding day. However, not all girls achieve their desired fitness goals before their D-day, which makes it difficult for them to feel confident & happy from within. Nothing can do wonders overnight but shapewear. Shapewear might not instantly help you lose kilos but can definitely help you lose some inches. After achieving that body you aimed for, making it look flattering with shapewear won’t hurt anyone, right?
But the problem arises, what type of shapewear will work best with your bridal outfit? So here are 4 types of shapewear styles for different bridal outfits.
1. Tummy Tucker for Lehenga
Finding the right wedding shapewear is quite a daunting task. However, tummy tuckers suits almost every ethnic outfit. They feature targeted compression to tone your belly & smoothen your back. With salwar suits & kurtas, tummy tuckers suit the best. It will cinch your tummy and contour side bulges by giving you a sculpted look under your fitted kurtas giving you an hourglass shape.
While choosing colours ensure you wear either a matching shaper or transparent/nude-coloured tummy tucker to ensure a seamless silhouette.
2. Saree Shapewear for Sarees
For all these years, women have been dealing with plain Jane cotton saree petticoats. The main disadvantage of a regular petticoat is that it makes you look bloated and shapeless. The elastic drawstring if tied snugly often results in rashes and muffin tops. Forget about the mermaid look, in a traditional petticoat, the drape doesn’t even look seamless. It gathers around the waist and looks very messy overall.
Switch to Clovia’s saree shapewear, featuring a seamless design crafted with targeted compression to contour your waist, hips, back and thighs giving you a more sculpted figure. The side slit makes it convenient to walk in while retaining the beautiful mermaid shape. The waistband is strong enough to hold in heavy bridal sarees and soft enough to leave your skin rash-free.
After saree, finding shapewear for lehenga is really tough. However, you can wear saree shapewear under lehengas too. It will tone your lower abdomen & accentuate your curves for a mermaid-like look under lehengas.
3. Thigh Shaper for Sharara Suit

Hence you need something that makes your lower body more flattering. Clovia’s Thigh shaper with 4-way compression does the job of a tummy tucker and slims thighs & hips too. It is the perfect shapewear for your wedding shararas. With a high-rise fit, it will contour your tummy giving a smooth belly under the kurta and its long legs with shape your thighs under the fitted sharara. Overall, it is a great investment to be worn under kurtas & pants or sharara or gharara sets.
