For years, I owned exactly one piece of shapewear, and I wore it for everything.
It was a full bodysuit, bought in a hurry before a wedding. I had no time to think about it. Even after the wedding was over, I kept thinking about it. I used it for work, dinners, and dresses for years. I wanted to feel like myself. It did not matter that it wasn't right for every outfit. It was what I had. I told myself that it was practical, even if it was actually avoidance.
Here is the version of the story that let me stay comfortable: shapewear is one thing. You buy the one thing, you wear the one thing, you stop thinking about it. Simple. Solved.
