Description
When you want maximum sculpting but need to wear your own bra, this is the bodysuit to reach for. The Fashion Couture Open Bust Shapewear Bodysuit delivers extra-firm tummy control, waist cinching, and a glute-enhancing seat in a seamless, breathable construction — without dictating what bra you wear underneath. It's the foundation piece that works under any outfit, from office wear to evening looks.
- Extra-firm compression panels target the tummy, waist, and hips with 360° sculpting pressure — noticeably firmer than standard firm-compression bodysuits.
- Waist-cinching structure defines the waistline instantly — more defined than all-over compression alone.
- Glute-enhancing seat panel lifts and defines without padding — works under fitted dresses and tailored trousers without adding bulk.
- Open-bust design means you wear your own bra — underwired, push-up, strapless, or sports bra, whatever the outfit requires.
- Moisture-wicking seamless fabric keeps you cool and comfortable throughout the day.
- Sizes S–XXXL in Skin, Black, and Brown — Skin sits invisibly under lighter fabrics and sheer tops.
Best for: Women who want the firmest all-over sculpting in the range and need the flexibility to wear their own bra. If you want a built-in bra included, our seamless shapewear bodysuit with built-in bra is a better option. If you want adjustable compression rather than fixed extra-firm, our adjustable sculpting bodysuit gives more flexibility.

Common Questions
Can I wear my own bra with this? Yes — the open-bust design is specifically made for this. It works with underwired, push-up, strapless, and sports bras.
How do I put it on? Step in from the bottom and pull up gradually, smoothing the fabric from the hips upward for an even compression fit. Don't try to pull it over your head.
How is this different from the seamless sculpting bodysuit? This bodysuit has extra-firm compression (vs firm on the other) and an open bust. Choose this for maximum sculpting and bra flexibility; choose the seamless sculpting bodysuit for firm all-day wear with a simpler on/off.
Does it target the lower tummy? Yes — the extra-firm tummy panel extends below the navel, giving focused sculpting support to the lower tummy. One of the most effective options in the range for that area.

Questions, answered
Measure your bust, waist and hips and compare them with the product's size guide, not your dress size. Between sizes? Size up — shapewear that's too small rolls down and digs in. Our size finder does the maths for you.
Our pieces are sized by body measurements rather than clothing size, so always check the size guide on each product page. If you're between sizes, go up one for the best mix of comfort and smoothing.
Rolling almost always means the size is too small, so try one size up. Seamless styles with wide, non-roll waistbands help, and avoid tight belts directly over the waistband.
Light-to-medium control styles are designed for all-day wear when they're correctly sized, seamless and breathable. Save firm, high-compression pieces for events and shorter wear.
Yes. Compression smooths and redistributes soft tissue for a flatter silhouette while you wear it. Look for a reinforced front panel and a high-waist cut, like our High Waist Shaping Shorts.
Shapewear smooths the midsection, hips or thighs. A waist trainer is firmer and more structured — usually latex, neoprene or reinforced fabric — and cinches the waist while supporting the core.
Recovery shapewear can help with posture and offers gentle compression. Check with your midwife or GP first and start with lighter compression. Shop postpartum.
