✓ Free shipping over $75 · ✓ Secure checkout
The hourglass, engineered. An overbust girdle with a built-in bra and light boning that cinches the waist and lifts the bust into a smooth, sculpted line. The piece that turns a slip dress into a statement.
- Built-in bra with light boning for a defined hourglass waist
- Firm tummy and back smoothing
- Shaping through the hip
- Hook closure and supportive straps
- Black and Nude, sizes S to XL
Structure, not just stretch. Knit alone smooths. Boning holds a line. The Overbust Cincher is the most constructed piece in our catalog, which is why it is the one to reach for when the silhouette is the whole point of the outfit.
Fit. Compression runs snug by design. If you are between sizes, size up: sizing down does not shape more, it digs in and creates the ridge you bought shapewear to avoid. Firm compression: this is the strongest hold we make, so honor the size-up rule. The full size chart with US dress and waist ranges is further down this page.
Complete the line. Worn with the Hourglass Shaper it becomes The Waist Edit: our two most structured pieces for $99 instead of $123 bought separately.
Care. Hand wash cold and lay flat to dry. Heat is what breaks down compression knit, so keep it out of the dryer and it will hold its shape season after season.
It shapes your silhouette while it is on. It is not a weight loss or medical garment.
Why this piece
The hourglass, engineered — waist cinched, bust lifted, in one structured piece.
Light boning and a built-in bra create real waist definition — without a rigid corset, and without a separate bra breaking the line.
Flexible bones hold the cinch through the waist — structure that shapes without corset rigidity.
Bust support is part of the garment, so the lifted line runs unbroken from bust to hip.
Panels front and back keep the silhouette even — a slip dress reads as one clean curve.
Asked before buying
Is boning comfortable enough for a full evening?
The boning is light and flexible — it holds the waist shape without the dig of rigid corsetry. It’s built for wearing, not display.
Do I wear a bra underneath?
No — the bra is built in, with supportive straps. That’s what keeps the line unbroken.
How dramatic is the cinch?
This is our most structured hold — a defined hourglass, not a subtle smooth. For everyday-light shaping, look at the Seamless Bodysuit instead.
What this is
Real compression construction — panels, boning, molded cups — photographed honestly and priced so you can say yes. It changes the line of what you wear.
What this isn’t
A weight-loss product, a “detox,” or a permanent change to your body. Off is off. What we sell is how the fabric falls while it’s on.

Fit questions
How should it feel?
Snug and supportive, with firm and even compression — never pinching or painful. If you can’t breathe and move comfortably, go up a size.
Will it show under clothes?
Our seamless and smooth-panel styles are made to disappear under dresses, denim and knits. Bonded edges and mesh panels keep visible lines to a minimum.
How do I care for it?
Hand-wash cold, or machine-wash cold in a delicates bag, and hang to dry. Skip the dryer and fabric softener so the fabric keeps its compression and shape.
