Description
The high waisted shapewear knickers that extend the shaping all the way up to the bust. A second skin that sculpts the silhouette quietly, from ribcage to crotch, with no visible line.
Made for the days you wear bodycon dresses or fitted tops, these knickers stretch the support zone well above the navel: they reach up under the bust, smooth the upper tummy, slim the waist, and give a continuous finish under the fabric, with no edge halfway up the tummy.
Where classic knickers stop at a low waistband and leave the upper tummy unsupported, these high waisted tummy control knickers take over: ultra-fine seamless fabric, a reinforced shaping front panel, smooth edges that don't mark. The long shaping brief you forget you're wearing, from morning to night.
Wear them under bodycon dresses, fitted tops, pencil skirts or high-waisted trousers. The essential for anyone who wants extended tummy control – with no restriction and no discomfort, through long workdays and evenings alike.
Why choose high waisted shapewear knickers?
The high waisted shapewear knickers reach well above the navel, sometimes to the underband of your bra, where classic knickers stop below the tummy. These high waisted knickers have two decisive advantages: they smooth the entire tummy (not just the lower part) and they create no bulge at the top edge, unlike low-cut knickers that show a ridge right above the elastic. The wide waistband stays put thanks to a discreet silicone edge, without rolling. This is the high waisted shapewear you reach for with fitted dresses, high-waisted skirts and anything that hugs the waist.
Classic knickers, high waisted or bodysuit: how far up?
The real question isn't "shape or not" but how far up the shaping should reach. Here's how the high waisted knickers sit between low-rise knickers and a bodysuit.
| Criterion | Classic Knickers | High Waisted Knickers | Shapewear Bodysuit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Smoothed zone | Lower tummy only | The whole tummy, up to under the bust | Tummy + waist + back |
| Muffin top | Not covered | Smoothed | Smoothed |
| Bathroom breaks | Instant | Instant | Snaps to undo |
| Ideal under | Jeans, short skirt | Bodycon dress, tucked-in top | Strapless dress, jumpsuit |
High waisted knickers are the sweet spot: they smooth the entire tummy and the muffin top like a bodysuit, but keep the freedom of knickers (nothing to undo for bathroom breaks).
Under which outfits to wear high waisted shapewear knickers
- Bodycon and fitted dresses – the high coverage smooths the tummy from pubic bone to bust, a clean silhouette all the way up.
- High-waisted skirts and trousers – the knickers follow the waistline without creating a double ridge under your clothes.
- Fitted, tucked-in tops – a flat tummy guaranteed, even when the top is snug and tucked into the skirt.
- Tight knit dresses – the high waisted shapewear erases every ripple across the whole tummy area.
High waisted knickers: long-wear comfort with no roll-down
The classic flaw of high-waisted styles is the waistband that rolls and slips down over the day. Our high waisted shaping knickers have a wide top band with a discreet silicone finish inside, which grips the skin without marking it. The result: they stay put for 8 to 10 hours, seated or on the move. The seamless 78% nylon / 22% elastane fabric shapes without over-compressing – gentle but firm shaping that sculpts without restricting your breathing.

Complete your shaping wardrobe
When the tummy isn't enough, you go up to the bust.
High waisted shapewear knickers reach well above the navel, up to right under the bust. They extend the support zone continuously, with no visible edge. An inner silicone band grips the skin to stop it rolling, and the seamless fabric stays flat under the tightest tops.
