I'm a 38DD, and I Ditched My Bra for This Smoothing, Lifting Bodysuit

I didn’t think it was possible, but I finally found shapewear that does something for me and my petite, curvy frame. I’m talking about Knix’s new Customizable Shaper Bodysuit that’s the best thing I’ve worn under a tight dress. I layered this breathable, smoothing, and lifting bodysuit under a faux leather dress for my birthday and comfortably dined, danced, and dashed through the streets all night long.

I frequently struggle with shapewear not doing what it's intended to,  so when Knix sent me its new shaper bodysuit, I’ll admit—I was skeptical at first. But after slipping it on and seeing it hug me in all the right places while also being supportive enough for my 38DD chest without a bra, I knew I struck gold.

My issues (to date) with shapewear include it being unbearably tight, inaccurately sized per the guide, and becoming poor quality post-wash, even when I follow the care instructions to a tee. Another common issue I face is shapewear not shaping my body and instead making me feel self-conscious about my outfit. And when I’m trying to get ready for something as meaningful to me as my birthday celebration and an evening with friends, these concerns aren’t the best way to start my night.

So when I pulled on Knix’s bodysuit for the first time and tested out its comfort and breathability while working from home, I was waiting for there to be a catch. And I’m still waiting for a catch, if one exists, because I genuinely love this bodysuit. When I wore it for my birthday a few weeks ago, I didn’t feel uncomfortable once.

This shaper bodysuit not only meets the basic expectations for shapewear, including smoothing and lifting, but it goes above and beyond the ordinary expectations for shapewear. This bodysuit is a part of Knix’s easily customizable shapewear line, which allows you to get the perfect fit in the exact style you’d like. Simply cut the shapewear yourself by following Knix’s helpful guide to wear the bodysuit with deep plunge backs and tight fits. Knix’s size inclusivity is also a major plus, as the bodysuit comes in 24 sizes from XS to 4XL and up and the guide runs accurately, in my experience. And as someone with a big bust, I didn’t feel comfortable going braless before finding this bodysuit that actually supports me, unlike the many other popular brands I’ve tried.

While I’m personally obsessed with this bodysuit in particular, Knix has several other customizable shapewear pieces, including an Open Bust Shaper Bodysuit and a Shaper Thong Bodysuit, which guarantees no panty lines (though I haven’t noticed any with my own favorite Shaper Bodysuit). Also shop on-sale bras, leakproof underwear, leggings, and more at Knix before select styles sell out.
