Have you tried speaking with a department store clerk? Like in a macys or Jc Penney's? Sometimes they do not carry all of the best products in the store but may have a catalog. Surprisingly, I have had great results with the "body smoothers" brand from Leggs. They come up to under my bra and do not roll down.
Best part is, I CAN BREATHE!! They are very flexible. I get them at Walgreens. On their site you can get special sizes if they do not have yours at the store.
Hope this helps!
I got a Miracle Suit shaper from Macy's! a friend who has a similar body type wore one for her wedding last summer.
Its strapless (w/ straps you can put on) and comes down mid thigh like Spanx. It comes in a bra size and while I'm kind hippy, I got my bra size. Its snug but i wanted the smaller one to keep things tight and in there, and to be tight enough as I'm losing a couple lbs. - I usually wear a 34D and am about 170lbs - back chub and all :)
I've used long line bras with boning and the boning always ends up curly and NOT smooth by the end of the night of sitting and standing.
My Macys had it in the store so try them on first if you can. If not, order a few sizes and return what you don't like.
i am a former jcpenney bra fitter.. so i know what penneys and most comparable department stores have... i just cant seem to get a good fit because nothing with a bra built in is long enough and nothing without a bra will stay up.
i looked your suggestions from Macys... do they stay up? how tall are you? do you have a long torso?

i'm feeling like i should just throw in the towel and work out until i actually fit into some shapewear.
i've tried flexees, spanx, and a few other brands. i cant find anything to fit me!
I wear a 38D in regular bras or a 40C in shapewear with alot of firming.. and thats exactly what i want. I want to be sucked in like crazy... but everything that does that for me leaves rolls or bulges or my torso is too long for it.
i have some skin from having a baby and i have some back fat. so i dont want anything with boning in the stomach or that cuts off at the belly button because that makes the problem worse.. and a low cut back is bad too....
oh god. i'm so picky... seee why i need the help!?
