Best Shapewear for Plus Size Confidence | Yummie Tips & Picks

Let’s be honest—confidence starts with feeling good in your own skin, and the right shapewear can be that little extra boost to help you look and feel amazing. The best plus-size shapewear isn’t about restriction—it’s about support, smoothing, and enhancing your natural curves while staying comfortable all day. Whether you’re layering under everyday outfits, dressing up for an event, or just want a little extra shaping, the key is finding pieces that work with your body, not against it.

Finding the Perfect Plus-Size Shapewear Fit

Shapewear should feel like a second skin—comfortable, supportive, and never too tight. When shopping for plus-size shapewear, keep these key factors in mind:

Size Matters: Always go with your true size. Sizing down won’t create more shaping, but it will lead to discomfort and rolling.

Compression Level: Yummie offers a range of compression, from light smoothing to firm control, so you can choose what works for you.

Breathable Fabrics: Lightweight, moisture-wicking materials keep you cool and comfortable all day.

Stay-Put Design: High-waisted pieces with silicone grips and seamless edges prevent rolling or digging in.

Now, let’s dive into the best plus-size shapewear pieces (available in sizes up to 3X) to elevate your confidence and wardrobe!

The Best Plus-Size Shapewear for Every Outfit

A great base layer is the secret to a smooth, polished look, and a shapewear tank top is the perfect foundation. Designed to be worn under blouses, sweaters, or dresses, our Sadie Shapewear Tank Top w/ Built In Bra offers firm compression to sculpt without squeezing. With removable pads, it provides extra coverage when you want it (or remove the pads when you don’t.) Wear it under your favorite fitted top for a sleek, seamless look.

For medium shaping through the midsection, our Boyfriend Yummie Tummie® 3-Panel Shapewear Tank Top is a go-to. The three-panel design provides targeted shaping while remaining comfortable enough for all-day wear. Layer it under a sweater or blouse for an effortlessly polished outfit.

When wearing dresses or skirts, a lightweight, smoothing short makes all the difference. Our Ultralight Seamless Shapewear Slip Short is a great everyday option designed to be virtually invisible under clothing, with just enough support to smooth your hips and thighs. The best part? It helps prevent chafing, making it a warm-weather essential.

If you're looking for a comfortable and effective way to smooth your tummy, our Sage Shapewear Brief is a must-have. Made to sculpt and shape, this brief offers a sleek silhouette while remaining smooth under clothing with a bit more compression than our Ultralight line. It’s sideseam-free which ensures no digging or discomfort, making it the perfect option for everyday wear or under fitted outfits. This shapewear brief delivers just the right amount of control without compromising on comfort.

For a sculpted, streamlined look, a high-waisted thigh shaper provides support where you need it most. The Seamless Solutions High Waist Shapewear Thigh Shaper sculpts the midsection and thighs while staying in place. No rolling, no pinching—just a sleek, confident silhouette. This is a go-to under fitted dresses or jumpsuits when you want a smooth, seamless finish.

If you're seeking shaping with maximum comfort, you’ll love our Ruby Shaping Full Back Shaping Bodysuit. This bodysuit is designed for comfort and support, providing 360° shaping and support. Made from soft, breathable cotton, it’s gentle on the skin while offering medium shaping where you need it most. Two rows of snap closures at the gusset allow for an adjustable fit while staying tucked in and secure. Whether you wear it underneath a blouse or even on its own as a top, it’ll have you feeling confident and supported throughout the day.

Confidence Starts with Comfort

Shapewear should never feel like a struggle—it should move with you, support you, and help you feel even better in your favorite outfits. Whether you need light smoothing for daily wear or something more structured for special occasions, the key is finding pieces that fit well, feel good, and enhance your natural shape.
