There's more to consider than just the dress when planning your wedding guest look. Shapewear is a key player in feeling your most confident.

But knowing this hack and finding a flattering and comfortable style that actually works with the dress code? That's a whole other discussion—and dilemma. The good news? We tapped celebrity stylist Samantha Brown to make that task easier. So...where should you start?

"I recommend shopping for shapewear with a specific garment in mind. Whether you’re ordering online or shopping in person, it’s best to try the shapewear on with the garment to make sure it does the trick," Brown tells E!.

"I also recommend that all my clients have an arsenal of shapewear in their drawer, as you never want to be caught without the right undergarment for an occasion."

Her must-have styles? "Some of the essentials are strapless bodysuits, high waisted thong underwear, and shaping slips," she says, before adding that Miraclesuit is one of her favorite brands to shop for the category.

The Best Shapewear for Tricky Dress Styles—Backless, Strapless, or High-Slit Designs?

"This is where that shapewear collection will come in handy. A strapless style is essential, and for very specific cuts, us stylists have been known to trim a leg off a brief for a high slit dress," Brown says.

ANNZHIBRA Strapless Shapewear Slip

Cusotmers gushed that this Strapless Thong Bodysuit was "so easy to pull on" and snatched their waist "like a dream." One shopper even said they "wore it from 2pm until 3am and it stayed in place and didn't move or roll for the whole time."

Miraclesuit Modern Miracle Step-In Waist Cincher

"Depending on the problem area, this waist cincher does a great job slimming the waist and smoothing the mid back and tummy," Brown says.

What Should You Look for in Shapewear to Stay Comfortable from Ceremony to the Dance Floor?

"Opt for shapewear that has plastic grip along the seams so you don’t spend the night adjusting and tugging things into place."

Shaperx Mid-Waisted Seamless Shapewear Shorts

These Mid-Waisted Shapewear Shorts have four stay-put bones in the design so you won't have to worry about constantly readjusting. A must, especially if you're planning to tear up the dance floor.

Skims Sienna High-Waisted Mid Thigh Short

Not only do these Skims Shorts offer great grip and compression, but they come in several shades. Brown recommends finding the "closest nude match to your own skin tone" if you're planning to wear a light-colored dress.

Julygirl Shapewear Thong

This Julygirl Thong does it all thanks to its double X-shaped compression panel and four built-in flexible silicone bone strips that won't slip. Even better, they're actually comfy, according to shoppers.

The Bottom Line

"Seamless construction is ideal, rubber grip along the seams is a must, and targeted compression for specific areas are all key features to shop for," Brown says. "[And] always look in a 3 way mirror to inspect the final look. You want to make sure your shapewear is doing you a service in the front, back and side views."
