Erm, have you seen Kate Winslet lately? The curve-flossing-mummy-actress has knocked it out the park not once, but twice on the red carpet. That’s just 4 months after the birth of baby Bear Blaze (!!). Before you start deep breathing with body envy, remember this is Kate Winslet I’m talking about here; a woman who has been very clear on keeping it body-real in the media. So, I doubt she’s been panicking over post baby fat woes. In fact check here – she’s still rocking a mum tum and naturally so. I’m certain the Titanic star has worn shapewear to give her all the support and body confidence she needs to rock her mummy physique lovely lady lumps et al.

Bam and double bam Kate nails red carpet style after nine
As it approaches the summer season, wearing one layer or few less layers exposes any body issues in the boob, stomach, thigh, bum, back and arm area. As a mum who after nearly 2 years, still hasn’t got her old flat tummy back (yes, I said it) and has two weddings to attend this summer, I will be making the most of shapeware. You see, it’s all about cheating yourself slimmer (something our grandmother’s did so well, with the aid of girdles. Nowadays, shapeware doesn’t have to be so uncomfortable or roll up and down, squeezing your flesh into bizarre Michelin rolls. There are many brands who can help you nail a smooth and sleek silhouette with all the comfort and movement you need to…well parent.
I’ve pulled together a selection of the best shapewear for mummies who want to sort out all those tricky zones, so whether you’re in a date night gown or rocking your favourite pair of jeans ‘Your style will go on and on’ (a la Celine Dion..Titanic, get it?).
