Shaping undies

The festive season is now well and truly under way. It's all parties and teeny tiny little dresses. The only problem is that the diet hasn't been going quite so well recently and you can't quite believe that it's December already...

If, like A-list celebs and the rest of us mere mortals, you could do with a little helping hand before donning the skimpiest of party frocks, bring out the magic undies.

They may not look great on their own (and they're not really made for seduction) but they'll help you look fabulous, losing pounds in an instant and smoothing out your silhouette...
