Where is my mind?
And while I'm on the subject of 'shapewear', who on earth wants to wear a firm control thong? I'm sorry, but that makes no sense to me.

They're actually really confortable - known as Big Knicker Thongs around here! Hold your tummy in and no VPL. I just don't fancy being encased in nylon from the armpits down, even though lord knows I could do with it! You'd NEVER get laid in one of those spanx things

they use plus size models in the curvy woman section too which I have to give them props for

All the catalogues sell them in the undies section. I'm definitely thinking of these post-pregnancy 
My tummy's always been a little sticky-out, but at least it's been fairly 'firm', but I fully expect it to go all flabby and floppy for at least a while post-baby, so it's gonna need holding in.
I have told gsv he can get me a new corset for my collection as a post-baby present, but that's more for fun and going out, as they don't tend to hide very well under everyday clothing!

For those ladies who have sampled shapewear; can you tell me how to choose which size to go for? My hips are easily a 12 but the tummy is an unruly 14. Do I go for the size that will fit the fat bits, or the thin(ner) bits? If I get a size 12, I fear fainting and bulges of flesh where none should be, but a 14 might be too loose around the bottom and ribs - what a dilemma!

I expect you'll have to try them to be really sure. Horrible over-heated changing rooms
I wore some big knicker things under my sequinned cocktail dress last week and they were great for stopping feeling wibbly though I did end up asking strange women (no stranger than usual) to help me pull them up at the back as the night went on
I want an all-in-one Spanx thing with a poppered gusset like 'bodies' used to have.

Interesting, but that woman isn't exactly fat in the first place. It's a miracle I need, not a pair of magic pants.

Anyone who needs "firmer control" should not be wearing a thong. In fact, I'm not certain that butt-floss looks good on anyone.
