Hi
I'm pretty new here so not really sure if this has been covered, but I am organising a dinner dance for march and need to wear an evening dress...this was enough of an issue when vertical but add in a major tetra tum and pancake thighs and its a nightmare.
I've never been super skinny (I'm around a UK 14/16), but I'm tall (5 ft 9/10) and used to rely on my stomach muscles quite alot (I'm C7 so they're long gone, boooooo.) Anyways....
I was wondering if anyone had any experience with corsets to control the tetra tum. I've tried my binder but it just rolls up and is a bit useless. I was thinking an underbust corset??
Any help would be great
cheers

Every body type is different, tetra/para stomach's or not. I'd suggest you go try on a few before you buy. A corset may or may not be the thing for you. Me personally, they crawl up and never sit right for more than a few minutes. Another good option is a high waist slim skirt.

I've never tried a corset but there are a couple of options that may work. What about body control underwear or a dress that has bones in the upper part around bust and abdomen? You don't want to be uncomfortable either!

I've got 2 corsets, just make sure they aren't too tight if you have reduced or no sensation. They are underbust and I wear them over shirts or vests.

empire waisted dresses are good for hiding a tummy and get one long enough to cover your legs. you should look smashing and be comfortable.

Thanks guys!
I hit the sales with a friend the other day and actually found two gorgeous dresses (Its usually hard enough just finding one, let alone two so I was very happy....plus I saved a cool £210 )
Just need to find some belly control now but from whats been said I guess I'll have to look around a bit and try a few things


Happy New Year!
