Going to vouche for Spanx...or Spanx like products. (Never owned the real thing) I was amazed at how much mine slim me...It makes me look like I have a little waist! And totally gets rid of my lumps and bumps.

Pantihose and tights are practically impossible when you're tall and overweight.

The 'recommended size' chart pretty much says 'if you're skinny but tall, use XL...and if you're actually overweight...uh, go away and don't bother us'.





I may be paraphrasing slightly, of course.

They make thigh-highs that stay up on their own. I'm not a huge fan of nylons, but if I have to wear them, I opt for the thigh-highs.
