[quote=Anonymous]Two ideas:

1.  You are almost certainly wearing the wrong size bra (I have been your size, and bigger, and smaller, and I need different bras for different weights).  Go get fitted for a bra, ideally at a lingerie store rather than a department store.  Try on lots of stuff -- sometimes even the professional fitter is off a size, depending on brand -- but get something that fits really well.  It makes a huge difference to your silhouette and posture.  Don't be afraid of something full-coverage if it does good things for your shape: you can always find a style with lacy accents.

2.  I am in favor of getting comfortable "everyday" underwear that you can wear under clothes *and* just walk around in without feeling self-conscious.  Not that you can't also have that special occasion undies, but get in the mindset of "all my underwear looks good on me."  I happen to be a big-hipped girl who likes full coverage panties -- not everybody's idea of sexy, I know, but it works for me and DH -- so I like hipster style panties because they don't emphasize my saddlebags like hi-cuts do.  If you're interested, I recommend Hanes cotton hipsters (size up, they shrink) and also Bali slimming bands panties for light shaping without the indignities of Spanxx.

Good luck![/quote]
