The High-Waist Shaping Short

A high-waist short that holds the middle and lifts the back. It comes up over the waist, cinches with a zip, and ends at mid-thigh, so the line stays smooth from the ribs to the leg under a dress or a fitted skirt. The waist stays where you put it.

This is the piece for the outfit that needs the middle held and the rest left alone.

• Four flexible bones. Four light steel bones at the front and back of the waist keep the high rise from rolling or folding when you sit, so it stays flat all evening.
• Front zip with a hook closure. A sturdy zip pulls the waist in and the inner hooks hold it, for firm control you can fasten and forget.
• Layered tummy control. A triple-layer front panel does the real smoothing across the abdomen, with steady mid-level compression.
• Butt-lift cut. The seat is shaped to lift and round rather than compress, so the back line keeps its shape.
• No-roll, no-dig finish. A wide elastic waistband and a soft lace hem at the leg keep the edges flat and invisible, with nothing biting through your clothes.

Fabric. A 66% nylon, 34% spandex build with high stretch for hip and seat coverage, plus a layered front panel for control. The lace leg opening lies flat against the thigh, so there is no line under fitted fabric.

Fit and sizing. Cut close for mid-level shaping across XS through 4XL. The zip-and-hook closure runs firm; if you are between sizes, size up for comfort over a long day and down for the firmest hold. A full size chart is in the size guide.

Care. Hand wash cold and lay flat to dry to protect the bones, the zip, and the elastic. Skip the dryer, bleach, and fabric softener.

Available in Black and Light Skin.
