Glamour Shapewear
Our Glamour collection brings together vintage-inspired shapewear in our signature peach and black. Choose from Merry Widows, corselettes, girdles and waist cinchers to create the foundation your outfit needs, whether that means a defined waist, smoothing through the hips or bust support and shaping in one garment. Satin and supportive powermesh give this capsule its distinctive 1950s look, with pieces designed to mix and match across our lingerie ranges.
The right foundation can make all the difference to how a dress fits and falls. Our Glamour collection draws on the shapewear of the 1950s, when bras, girdles and waist cinchers helped create the silhouette that clothing was cut to follow.
We have brought these different shapes together in a capsule of signature peach and black. Choose the coverage and support you need, then combine your shaping piece with the lingerie you enjoy wearing. There is no need to start again with an entirely different set whenever your outfit calls for a different foundation.
Our Glamour Merry Widow combines bust support and waist shaping, with spiral steel boning, a front hook-and-eye fastening and detachable shoulder straps. Its six detachable suspenders allow you to add stockings to complete the look.
The Glamour Corselette combines bra and girdle in one garment, extending the shaping through the hips. An internal elastic waist tape adds definition, while six attached suspenders support your stockings.
Choose according to where you want coverage as well as the neckline and cut of your outfit. Both garments need to fit through the bust and body, so check the waist and underbust guidance alongside your bra size.
A girdle lets you choose your bra separately while adding shaping beneath a skirt or dress. This makes it a useful option when you already have a favourite bra or want to vary your bust silhouette between outfits.
Our Glamour Open Bottom Girdle is a pull-on design made from stretch powermesh with a satin front panel. It provides coverage through the hips and has six metal suspender clips for your stockings. Unlike the front-fastening pieces in the capsule, it rolls on without hooks and eyes.
For waist definition with a separate bra, consider a cincher or waspie. The length matters as well as the waist measurement: compare the garment’s depth with your torso and check where its edges will sit when you are seated.
Our Glamour Waist Cincher combines steel boning, an internal elastic waist tape and a front hook-and-eye fastening. Its six adjustable suspenders are detachable, giving you the choice of wearing it with or without stockings.
The capsule also includes shorter waspie options. Check each style’s construction and measurements to choose the amount of coverage that works for you.
Our signature colours make it easy to build a lingerie wardrobe around the shaping you prefer. Black Glamour pieces work with Maitresse, while peach complements Harlow; you can also combine styles across our classic lingerie collection.
A girdle with a bullet bra creates a different silhouette from the same girdle worn with an underwired bra. Choosing separates gives you that flexibility, while a Merry Widow or corselette brings bust support and body shaping together.
For styles with suspenders, finish with seamed stockings. Check the individual garment details, as suspender straps vary between designs and are not always detachable or adjustable.
Our Glamour Merry Widow, Corselette, Waist Cincher and Open Bottom Girdle are made in India, using satin and stretch powermesh. Their different patterns, panels and supporting details determine how each garment shapes the body.
Measure firmly and follow the size chart for your chosen piece. For waist-fitting garments, use your natural waist measurement; for styles with integrated cups, check the bust, underbust and waist guidance together.
If you are unsure which shape will work beneath a particular outfit, our small team can help. We also offer fittings by appointment at our Pangbourne headquarters in Berkshire.
