I need HELP!

I have a Pink/black jessica dress that i plan to wear in July. the only shapewear I own is Spanx. Someone on the fb page recommended Rago. Does that suck you in better than Spanx? What kind of shapewear would you recommend for this dress without a whole bunch of lines showing?

Also- I'm a 40/42 F/G depending. I NEED a bra with straps and all my bra's come up way too high. I just spent about $200 on bra's that aren't going to work with that dress. What do you suggest?????

I think what you need is a demi-balconette.

I wore one like that with my jessica and it worked perfectly for my 34D, you might find something from Freya, I have a friend who is a J cup and she finds bras there so G's should be there too! 

I really can't help with the shapewear sorry, I wear it to smooth lines out but I don't have anything to shape so I can't recommend any good brands. 

I find that Rago does suck in quite a bit better than Spanx, but NOTHING gives me the flat tummy I really desire like a true corset. My favourite wiggle dress pairing is an underbust corset underneath a pair of Spanx to smooth out the boning lines.

Personally I love Rago.  It sucks me in WAY better than Spanx.  I typically wear their waist cincher, but that will show lines in the Jessica.  If you decide to go with Rago, might I suggest either their high waisted leg shaper, the high waisted panty girdle, or the the high waisted open bottom girdle with garters.  The first I have, and while it's great for sucking in, I must admit it gets uncomfortable after several hours because it is very tight around the thighs it digs into them (if you have monster thighs such as myself).  The latter two suggestions I have never tried but given they have the same material as the the first, they probably work the same.  I might also suggest one of the options with a side zipper because these are TIGHT and can be difficult to get on and off.  There will be a line, but it's at the side so I doubt it will be particularly noticeable. All these are available at Amazon and elsewhere online.

I'm afraid I cannot help you with bra suggestions as my bust is only a C cup.  Good luck!

Rago doesn't come in larger cup sizes like F/G (I'm a 36 G and they don't have one for me, either), so the one-piece Rago shaper probably won't work for you. I'd suggest looking at a Rago shaper for your lower half and getting a separate bra. I find the Zara bra by Panache to be really good. http://www.figleaves.com/us/product/PA-5086/Panache-Zara-plunge-mul...
