These are the only ones I am familiar with. Spanx to me are very serious undergarments and not pretty at all. The TC are much nicer fabric. I tried the TC panty that comes up to under the bra, along with the control tank top, and felt I didn't need both so just bought the tanks and I love them and wear them all the time. The TC has a nice wide gripper band at the bottom to keep them from riding up.<br /> I'm not familiar with DKNY. I'd try them first since Angie reccommended them and she knows her stuff! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-shapewear#post-12747 Thu, 26 Jun 2008 15:32:24 +0000 mirah 12747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe you can try a longer length control cami without a bra which will solve the roll-when-u-sit problem? Also Target carries the cheaper version of spanx..assets i think. their prices are pretty reasonable ..in the $20-30 range. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-shapewear#post-12744 Thu, 26 Jun 2008 15:24:14 +0000 Rosie 12744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nancy, I have not tried them, but there are some less expensive shapewear items at Target, called Assets by Sara Blakely. It seems like the styles mimic Spanx. I have found that Spanx work and last quite a while, so they may be worth the investment. DKNY, as Angie suggested, will also be great quality and will last. I can say that the Spanx don't roll down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-shapewear#post-12743 Thu, 26 Jun 2008 15:05:14 +0000 nancy 12743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks. I know there are many brands but wondered if there are any of you who have used a brand that would work for me a size 14 and hold me in without rolling?<br /> Many of the brands I have found either have very light control and I def. need more control and/or include a bra which I do not want as the bras tend to either not fit and also have seams across the bust which is not a good luck under knit tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-shapewear#post-12732 Thu, 26 Jun 2008 14:13:41 +0000 Angie 12732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There are loads, Nancy. Try DKNY for starters. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-shapewear#post-12730 Thu, 26 Jun 2008 14:03:32 +0000 nancy 12730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know that Spanx is great but its also very expensive. I am looking for shapewear that will suck in the roll around my middle and come right under my bra and not roll down when I sit, etc. Any suggestions of brands other than Spanx that do this? </p>
