I have a gorgeous red bandage-style dress that I really want to wear, but my normal hipster undies obviously don't work; they give me little muffin top hips which are noticeable under the dress. I don't need "control" undies...so can anyone reccomend some knickers?

Seam free full briefs. Target have them for about $13.

Seam free and it's best to get one size up from what you usually get so they sit flat and don't cut into your skin

No underwear?

Too short for no undies, and I'm just not that confidant cool.gif

Dont think I really need Spanx; my lower tum is flat, but my upper tum has a little pot, though Im not really worried about. Just dont like the little hip cubbs you get with hipster knickers.

Yes - One size up! My little sister taught me this. I was wondering why all her undies were size 12's when she's an 8...

A loose g-string would be my choice, You can get some seam-free ones that have a wide/flat waist band that shouldn't show through a dress if it's loose enough.

I can remember about 10 years ago when I used to go clubbing I wouldn't wear any undies! I used to wear a skin-tight vinyl skirt that showed everything so it was easier to not wear any! (it was knee length, so no chance of flashing any pink bits....all about the outside silouette being smooth)

shapewear .. even though you don't need control, it gives a lovely smooth finish

Never worn a g-string...screams 'bum floss' to me tongue.gif Thanks for all your tips; Ill have to go investigate, maybe buy a few things and see what works best. Heading overseas and really want this dress to get a good outing.
