Women of all sizes truly deserve to feel confident and beautiful in whatever they wear. With this line of thought, there is an amazing array of shapewear for plus sizes that are comfortable, compressive, and available in a wide range of plus sizes. They won't squish your body into a rectangle but will complement your amazing curves!
Before selecting the shapewear of your dreams, here are some steps and tips to make the process easy-peasy. So, here's everything you'll need to know about how to choosing the best shapewear for plus size women.
What's Your Body Measurement?
The most common mistake everyone makes while buying shapewear is ignoring the size chart. You must know your measurements in order to choose the bodysuit that will not only flatter your body but stay comfortable. Many people think they can size down in shapewear to compress their body further. While that's true, just think of how uncomfortable you'll be with shapewear that's too restrictive! We want you to be compressed & comfortable. After all, we want your inner confidence to shine, and that's difficult when you're uncomfortable. So, make sure to follow our size guide. Pinsy Shapewear is proud to offer our bodysuits and panties from size small to plus size 3x. We realize every body is different and beautiful in their own way. So if something doesn't work out, we want you to be happy. Exchanges for another size are easy and free.

The science behind Pinsy Shapewear took years to perfect. Our patent-pending Powermesh shaping panels comfortably shapes your body's natural curves to enhance and create an instant hourglass silhouette. If you go with shapewear that's too small, the garment will be excessively uncomfortable and even unhealthy to wear. On the other hand, sizing up may not give you the shaping power you desire so there must be a balance. Of course, you're more than welcome to size up in our gorgeous lace bodysuits for less shaping!
Know Your Body Shape
For women, whether you're petite or plus-size, shapewear is the perfect surgery-free way to accentuate your curves and bring out the best in you! It highlights your perfect curves to amplify your outfits and give you a confidence boost.
Did you know that everyone has a different body shape? The sizes and shapes we come in are wonderful: we are all beautiful and unique. But did you know that dressing according to your body shape can make a big difference?
Apple Shape
Apple shaped women have heavy busts and a full midsection with narrow shoulders and hips. The larger belly can be a trait of your body shape. This perfect body shape is unique and can be enhanced with Pinsy's High Waist Shaping Panties. These features plus size medium compression control briefs, which provide great support and shaping for your tummy and lower half.
Rectangle Shape
Rectangle shape has a straight torso, slim hips, and long legs. The straight long lines of the body give a very linear shape. Therefore, you need something to enhance your curves.
The Sculpting Lace Shapewear Bodysuit has medium-firm compression that can help you elevate and flaunt your beautiful body. If you're looking for a basic, you can go for Scoop Tank Hourglass Shapewear Bodysuit, which perfectly hugs your body. The best part is that all materials used are super soft and tough. Plus all bodysuits (other than our Open Bust Butter Sculpt Shapewear Bodysuit) comes with easy open & close hooks at the crotch for bathroom breaks. Plus, the availability of plus sizes is a bonus.
Hourglass Shape
Women having near to or exact hourglass body shapes have almost the same width of shoulders and hips.

Plus, lace looks great for daily to occasional wear.
Pear Shape

We recommend the Smoothing Lace Shapewear Bodysuit to show off your waist. Made with light compression, this compression garment will enhance your upper body and elevate your beautiful curves.
