i dont want to give in to Modern Shapewear but i really hate when im trying to have a Fun Outfit and theres fucking Distinct Lines from various under wear bands (bra, undies, maybe a pair of tights?) all at separate points? that are impossible to hide bc the outer wear is fucking form fitting spandex

#toy txt post #if it were easier to make bespoke structured underclothing to create a smoother silhouette. god. i would. but thats so much more investment #in time and money and materials and hours to probably fuck it up at least the first coupke times vs just buying a fucking tummy control #camisole or some shit. but i cannot fucking stand the marketing around it. i dont want to put money to that. im not trying to Look Thinner #im trying to achieve a specific smoother silhouette w my clothing to look like a little clown and vintage silhouettes #rely so often on structured underclothing that the closest analogue to today is: fucking shapewear! unless i go out and get an actual #corset. but those tend to be more expensive. and im not aiming necessarily for the classic corset look i feel like a lot of the ones for #sale offer which seems to be very......booby. but the flatter more smoothing silhouette that was consistent between both menswear #and womenswear. the lengths it takes to be a nonbinary fucking clown. sighs deeply #also thinking again about the stupid fucking gold harley quinn jumpsuit i got like the movie that i Want to like and it Isnt Bad #but the material of the one in the movie is much thicker so its doesnt BEHAVE the same way as fucking form fitting spandex. and i know why #they did spandex. cos like. easier to sell cheaper to make fits a wider range etc. but i just want a fucking piece like that as an Actual #Garment of Clothing not a fucking spandex Halloween costume and couldnt find anything like it for less than $500. which is honestly #probably a reasonable price for labor and materials but not one i can justify? its just frustrating cos its So Close to good but the fuckin #Material just Ruins it for me and not even necessarily cos of like lack of shapewear lumpiness but like the way it drapes on the body the #way it stretches as spandex just looks Wrong. aaaaaaagaghgghghghggh #rage. anger. etc. need to learn how to sew my own shit at least a little. maybe a full length binder like 1 size up for comfort? scary #for context i also struggle with breathing from the lightest amount of Too Much Chest Compression. like sometimes bras will Get Me #so thats the other factor here. i dont know that this is necessarily looking for advice mostly im whining and complaining while doing #Nothing. ugh #also how much of this issue could be avoided if the form fitting spandex stuff had like. a lining. idk
