Lots of girls have that outfit sitting in her wardrobe that they absolutely adore but wish it looked just a little bit smoother around the waist, hips, or tummy.
Besides alteration services, another quick solution to this predicament is wearing shapewear, but only when it actually fits you. Those who have long been fans of these type of garments can attest that the right shapewear can make the difference between constantly adjusting your clothes and walking out the door feeling like that girl.

Came down for a fitting with my mother & sister. The consultant, Angie, was extremely patient and explained the ins and outs of wearing shapewear – a very helpful and informative session as it was our first experience with this. The 4 hours flew by a lot quicker than it felt. Thank you, Angie!

Nur erica heriyanti Hamzah
I bought my waist trainer in 2021 and only had to say goodbye to it this year, which really shows how durable it is. I wore it on normal day-to-day outings and even during exercise. The material is incredibly comfortable and never caused any itching at all. I absolutely love their product and would definitely recommend it!

Plié also incorporates proprietary fabric treatments that promote breathability, help maintain compression over time, and minimise irritation against the skin. Beyond its core range, shoppers can explore specialised collections such as the Emana® Line, Shape and Shine, Control Compression Line, Fitness Line, and Plie Shades, each offering distinct benefits depending on individual styling and support preferences.

Abigail Chua
I love love love Plié’s products!! It has helped me shape and tone my postpartum body, especially on the tummy and chest area. Their corset, Emana shorts and medical bra compression top are honestly so comfortable and help to shape our body well. I’m wearing them daily in our humid weather. Highly recommend to all postpartum mummies!
Monica Mon
💯 recommended plié for their shapewear. I have been wearing plié shapewear regularly for years. It provides great support & compression without feeling suffocated. The materials are breathable so it’s suitable for Singapore’s weather. Anna is a very responsive and friendly. She recommended suitable products for my needs. Highly recommended 😊
Siqi
Got to know Plie when Emily from Emobsessed did live streaming for this brand. I decided to try their compression shapewear and got the Emana high waist shorts. Scheduled a session with Anna immediately as I was unable to put on the shorts myself and I knew it would end up being an elephant in the house if I don’t seek help 😂 Anna is such a friendly person who shared generously about their compression products and why she chose to sell Plie. Luckily I did get the correct size and was able to put on the Emana shorts almost effortlessly (still need more practice) after she taught me the trick in wearing these shorts. Excited to kick start this practice of wearing Plie as it’s not just about helping to shape our body to look better but also to maintain our body posture and avoid aches in the future. Thank you Anna!

Jialing Cai
I had my first visit to the showroom and tried on several envyher bralette and shapewear products. Really love the comfortable material and lovely lace designs. Atikah was extremely helpful and patient, she was a great help in assisting me to choose the right sizes, and advise on the product ranges. Overall splendid experience!
Yulia W
I’m so impressed with this Envy Her shapewear bra! The material is soft and breathable, and the design is both stylish and functional. The shaping feature is amazing, giving me a smooth silhouette under my clothes. I’ve worn it and feel immediately comfortable on my skin. The support is excellent, and I love that it’s designed to provide both comfort and confidence. Compared to other shapewear bras I’ve tried, this one is more comfortable and effective. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for stylish yet comfortable shapewear products!
Stella Ng
The abdominal recovery shapewear worked. Have also purchased the tummy tuck version so that I could use one without the straps. I liaised with Atikah throughout. She was very responsive and helpful.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. How do I choose shapewear that won’t make me overheat in Singapore’s hot and humid weather?
The secret lies entirely in fabric engineering. You should avoid heavy, thick latex or high-percentage nylon blends that trap heat. Instead, look for lightweight, breathable materials like power mesh, polyamide blends, or garments explicitly featuring open-weave technology. Moisture-wicking fabrics are essential to prevent sweat from pooling against your skin, which can lead to chafing or heat rashes during a humid outdoor commute before you step into an air-conditioned office.
2. Will high-waisted shapewear roll down when I sit down, and how do I prevent this?
Rolling down typically happens because the garment is either too small, too large, or lacks structural support. To prevent this, opt for pieces that feature internal silicone grip strips along the top inside hem to anchor the fabric to your skin. Alternatively, choose high-waisted shorts that come with detachable straps that hook directly onto your bra, guaranteeing the piece stays entirely upright regardless of how many times you sit down or stand up.
3. Can I wear shapewear under lightweight, sheer fabrics common in local fashion without it showing?
Yes, but you must pay attention to edges and colour. Avoid garments with traditional stitched hems or thick trim, as these will inevitably create visible lines under breezy linens or thin silks. Instead, look for laser-cut, seamless edges that lie completely flat. Furthermore, choose a shade that closely matches your actual skin tone—or even one shade darker—rather than white or black, as skin-matching tones absorb light and remain invisible under sheer clothing.
4. Is it safe to wear firm-control shapewear for an entire 8-hour workday?
For daily office wear, it is highly recommended to stick to light-to-medium compression rather than firm or extra-firm control. High-compression garments can restrict blood circulation, shallow your breathing, and compress your digestive tract—which becomes incredibly uncomfortable after a heavy hawker lunch. Additionally, ensure any daily piece has a 100% cotton gusset to maintain breathability and optimal hygiene throughout a long day.
5. How am I supposed to navigate bathroom breaks in a full bodysuit?
You do not need to fully undress every time. Most well-designed full bodysuits come with an integrated opening at the crotch, usually featuring either an overlapping fabric flap or an adjustable hook-and-eye closure. When purchasing, look for adjustable hook-and-eye options, as they allow you to customise the fit based on your torso length, making public restroom breaks much quicker and less stressful.
6. Should I size down in shapewear to get a more dramatic slimming effect?
This is a common misconception that actually backfires. Sizing down causes the high-tension fabric to dig into your skin, creating new bulges at the edges and causing the garment to roll or bunch up. Shapewear is already mathematically engineered to compress your silhouette based on your true measurements. If you want a more dramatic smoothing effect, you should buy your actual size but select a product explicitly labelled as “firm” or “extra-firm” control.
7. Which type of shapewear is best for concealing lower belly bloat after a heavy meal?
High-waisted shaping shorts or briefs featuring a targeted, double-layered front panel offer the most effective support for abdominal bloating. Avoid pieces that rely on a single uniform layer of elastic. The front panel should ideally extend all the way down to the pelvic bone to provide an even, flat finish, rather than pushing the bloat downwards and creating an awkward silhouette.
8. How should I wash and care for my shapewear to ensure it lasts in the local climate?
Extreme heat is the ultimate enemy of elastane and silicone grips, so you must never put your shapewear in a tumble dryer or wash it in hot water. Hand washing in cold water with a gentle detergent is the gold standard. If you must use a washing machine, place the garment inside a mesh laundry bag, select a delicate cycle, and line-dry it indoors or in the shade away from harsh, direct sunlight.
9. What is the difference between daily shapewear and waist trainers, and which is better?
Daily shapewear uses flexible, elasticated fabrics to temporarily smooth contours and support your natural shape without altering your anatomy. Waist trainers, on the other hand, are rigid garments made of latex and steel boning designed to forcefully cinch the waist. Shapewear is infinitely better and safer for regular life, as waist trainers can restrict lung capacity, bruise internal organs, and weaken your core muscles over time.
10. What type of shapewear works best under traditional, form-fitting outfits like a Cheongsam or Kebaya?
Because traditional garments like the Cheongsam or Kebaya are highly tailored and often feature high slits or unforgiving waistlines, separate shapewear pieces (like a separate bra and brief) can create an awkward indentation at the midriff. A seamless, mid-thigh full bodysuit is the ideal choice here. It creates a completely unbroken, streamlined silhouette from the bust down to the thighs, ensuring no visible lines disrupt the sleek drape of the traditional fabric.
