Shapewear Styles

Shapewear enhances and contours the body, providing a smoother, slimmer silhouette. Shapewear is designed to provide compression and support to specific parts of the body, such as the waist, abdomen, hips, thighs, and buttocks. It is typically made from elastic materials that can help smooth out bumps and bulges, creating a more streamlined look under clothing. There are three levels of support, light for everyday wear, firm for a special night out or event, and extra firm for maximum shaping for that extra special occasion.

Shorts offer support from the waist down to the mid-thigh or knee, smoothing out your tummy, hips, and thighs while shaping your rear. Very versatile, this shapewear is suitable for wearing under pants, skirts, and dresses.
Shapewear Bodysuits

First Bras

The Right Time

While the physical signs are obvious, emotional readiness is paramount, regardless of age. Give her the chance to bring up the topic, and you’ll know she’s definitely ready. If she’s not forthcoming, simply ask if she’d like one, it’s important to respect her wishes if she doesn’t feel ready.

Put Her In Control

Getting used to having in-store fittings while she is still growing can save her years of discomfort and will ensure she gets the right size, fit and style. To make the process less overwhelming, she can keep her shirt or crop top on and be measured over the top. It’s important to let her decide whether you should accompany her during her fitting. If she’s not comfortable with the in-store fitting experience, it might be a good idea to use the bra size calculator and shop Farmers online.

The Best First Bras

Farmers offer a great selection of first bra options, in different styles, colours and sizes. Crop tops and wirefree bras are great options and will get her used to the feel of wearing one.
