This means planning a variety of outfits that will allow you to look and feel your very best, while also offering enough comfort to get your groove on out on the dance floor and enjoy a slice (or two) of wedding cake. But that whole “looking-and-feeling-your-very-best” thing can be difficult if you feel self-conscious in more formal clothing — after all, if you’re getting dolled up for a big event, the usual lumps and bumps can sometimes feel like they’re in the spotlight. No one wants that!

But fear not — to combat this planning anxiety, we’ve gathered 18 of our favorite shapewear options on Amazon to help ease the stress — all under $50, so you won’t be breaking a bank for a wardrobe item which (hopefully) none of the other guests are going to see. These shapers range from full-torso options to top-only and bottom-only, in a wide range of cuts, colors and firmness for pretty much any fashion need. Keep on scrolling for all of our shapewear picks, and get ready to rock every autumnal celebration!
