shapewear
Slimming undergarment category
Shapewear is tight-fitting undergarments designed to smooth, compress, or reshape the body's contours—flattening the stomach, lifting the buttocks, or slimming the thighs.
Unlike old-fashioned girdles, modern shapewear uses stretchy fabrics and comes in varying levels of compression: She wore shapewear under her dress for a smoother silhouette.
