SculptLock 3D High-Waisted Open-Bust Body Shaper is a firm-support, mid-thigh foundation designed for stronger waist definition, targeted abdominal smoothing and a cleaner line beneath fitted clothing. Its open-bust construction lets you keep the bra shape, coverage and support that already work for your body instead of relying on fixed cups.
Through the torso, strategically knitted shaping zones create a close, compressive fit around the waist and abdomen. The high-rise construction extends towards the bra line, helping smooth the transition between the upper torso and lower body while the garment is worn. Its shaping effect is firm and visible without rigid boning, hook-and-eye panels or a bulky front closure.
Removable, adjustable bra-attachment straps help stabilise the upper edge and are designed to reduce shifting or rolling during normal movement. An anti-slip treatment adds further grip around the top. Adjust the straps so that they feel secure without pulling the bra out of position or placing excessive pressure on the shoulders.
At the back, 3D knitted contour zones frame the natural shape of the seat and allow more stretch through the rear. This placement is designed to create a rounder-looking, more defined contour while worn. Through the legs, mid-thigh coverage helps smooth the upper thighs, while low-profile hems support a more gradual transition beneath dresses, skirts and tailored trousers.
The fabric contains 82% nylon and 18% spandex, combining firm stretch with the recovery needed for a close body-shaping fit. SculptLock 3D is available in Black, Sienna and Sand, with paired sizes from XS/S through 3XL/4XL.
Choose your size using your current waist and hip measurements rather than deliberately sizing down. Firm support should feel close and secure, but it should not cause pain, numbness, restricted breathing or limited movement. The smoothing and contouring effects are temporary and apply only while the garment is being worn.
For care, cold hand washing separately is recommended. If machine washing, use a protective laundry bag and a cold delicate cycle. Reshape and lay flat to dry. Do not tumble dry or dry clean, and avoid exposing the stretch fibres to high heat.
Firm Targeted Support: Higher compression through the waist and abdomen creates stronger shaping and a more defined silhouette while the garment is worn.
Open-Bust Construction: The bust remains uncovered, allowing you to pair the shaper with your preferred bra style, cup size and support level.
Removable Bra-Attachment Straps: Adjustable attachment straps help stabilise the high waist and reduce movement around the upper edge.
Anti-Slip Upper Edge: Grip treatment along the top is designed to help the garment remain positioned beneath the bra line.
High-Waisted Torso Coverage: The shaping knit extends from the lower abdomen towards the bra band for more continuous torso smoothing.
Funnel-Shaped Knit Architecture: The garment is structured to provide stronger waist definition while accommodating the natural width of the hips.
3D Rear-Contour Zones: Strategically placed stretch knitting frames the seat and helps enhance the appearance of the natural rear contour.
Mid-Thigh Smoothing: Extended leg coverage smooths the upper thighs and works especially well beneath midi and full-length dresses.
Low-Profile Leg Hems: Smooth leg openings help reduce abrupt fabric-to-skin transitions beneath clothing. Complete invisibility depends on fit, colour and the outer garment.
No Rigid Boning: Shaping comes from the knitted fabric structure rather than corset-style steel supports.

The Sculptwear Edit · Open-Bust Mid-Thigh Shaper Guide
SculptLock 3D combines firm shaping through the waist, abdomen and upper thighs with an open-bust silhouette, removable bra-attachment straps, an anti-slip upper edge, 3D rear-contour zones and smooth mid-thigh hems.
Four Ways To Wear It
SculptLock 3D is designed as an under-clothing foundation rather than outerwear. Match its colour to the outer fabric, pair it with the right bra and check the waist and leg lines while sitting and moving.
Use the high waist and mid-thigh length beneath body-conscious dresses when stronger core and upper-leg smoothing matter together. Position both hems evenly and confirm that the dress finishes well below them.
Best for · Bodycon dresses / event looks / longer hemlinesLayer it beneath wide-leg trousers, a column skirt or a structured dress when you want firm waist and tummy definition with a smoother line through the upper thighs. Select a bra that suits the neckline.
Best for · Tailoring / office layers / structured fabricsThe open-bust cut lets your own bra control the cup shape and upper neckline. Before dressing, confirm that the shaper's upper edge and attachment straps remain concealed from the front, side and back.
Best for · Scoop necks / V-necks / personalised bust supportUse the larger option when measurements span two sizes or a softer feel is preferred. Sit, walk and bend during the try-on to confirm that the bra, upper edge, rear zones and leg openings stay aligned.
Best for · Weddings / dinners / longer social plansBefore You Buy
This is firm-support fashion shapewear with an open bust and mid-thigh silhouette. It is not a built-in bra, rigid waist trainer, medical compression garment or post-surgical recovery product.

Measurement Guide
The chart lists body measurements, not the unstretched dimensions of the shaper. Measure over close-fitting underwear and keep the tape parallel to the floor without pulling it tight.
| Size | Bust | Waist | Hips |
|---|---|---|---|
| XS/S | 32.5–37″ / 82.5–94 cm | 25–29″ / 63–74 cm | 34–39.5″ / 86–100 cm |
| M/L | 37.5–42.5″ / 95–108 cm | 29.5–35″ / 75–89 cm | 40–44.5″ / 101–113 cm |
| XL/2XL | 43–49″ / 109–124 cm | 35.5–40.5″ / 90–103 cm | 45–50″ / 114–127 cm |
| 3XL/4XL | 49.5–53.5″ / 125–136 cm | 41–45″ / 104–114 cm | 50.5–54″ / 128–137 cm |
Between sizes? Select the option that accommodates your largest relevant measurement—especially the waist and fullest hip. Deliberately sizing down can cause rolling, pinching, overstretched rear zones and uncomfortable leg openings.
Fit Check
Use your waist and hip measurements rather than deliberately sizing down. The open bust means your bra remains responsible for cup fit and bust support, while the shaper's upper edge should finish smoothly beneath the bra band without folding or pulling.
The upper edge should lie flat beneath your bra, and the attachment straps should stabilise the shaper without distorting the bra or digging into the shoulders. The waist and abdomen should feel firmly held without limiting normal breathing. Rear-contour zones should remain centred, while both leg openings should sit at the same height.
Try it over underwear while all tags and the protective hygiene liner remain attached.
Quick Answers
Concise answers about firm support, the open-bust fit, bra attachments, waist stability, rear contouring, leg hems, sizing and garment care.
SculptLock 3D provides firm fashion-shapewear support through the waist, abdomen and upper thighs. No medical pressure rating has been specified, so it should not be used as therapeutic or post-surgical compression apparel.
The garment finishes beneath the bust instead of including bra cups. This lets you wear your own bra and choose the cup shape, neckline and support level that suit your body and outfit.
The removable, adjustable straps connect the shaper around the bra area to help stabilise its upper edge. Adjust them so that they lie flat and feel secure without pulling the bra out of position or creating uncomfortable shoulder tension.
The high waist, bra attachments and anti-slip upper edge are designed to reduce movement and rolling. Results still depend on body shape, correct sizing, strap adjustment and how the garment is positioned. No shapewear construction can guarantee zero movement for everyone.
Strategically knitted 3D rear zones frame the natural seat and allow more stretch through that area, creating a rounder-looking contour while worn. The effect is temporary and does not physically alter the body.
The low-profile hems are intended to create a smoother transition at the thighs. Visibility still depends on the selected size, shaper colour, outer fabric, lighting and how closely the outfit follows the body. Check the complete look in natural light before leaving.
Compare your waist and fullest-hip measurements with the chart and select the size accommodating the larger measurement. Firm support should not restrict breathing or normal movement. If between sizes or seeking a softer feel, choose the larger option.
Wear time depends on fit, activity and personal comfort. Remove the shaper if it causes pain, numbness, restricted breathing or limited movement. A light- or medium-support style may be more suitable when comfort over many hours is the priority.
The documented composition is 82% nylon and 18% spandex. No verified recycled-fibre content is published for this style, so it should not be described as recycled nylon without supporting documentation.
Cold hand wash separately where possible. For machine washing, use a laundry bag, mild detergent and a cold delicate cycle with similar colours. Reshape and lay flat to dry. Do not tumble dry or dry clean, avoid high heat and use a cool iron only when necessary.
