(InStyle.com) -- Every woman could use a little help when it comes to enhancing her god-given assets.
Now's the time to breathe a big sigh of relief: These confections of spandex, nylon and Lycra will cinch, slim, smooth and boost you wherever you need it.
And how serendipitous: Fall's hourglass shapes, revealing cuts and origami folds demand a sleek line and no-bulge curves.
On Top
Sure, these bras pump up the décolletage, but that's not all they do. Rely on them to assuredly keep everything in place no matter how revealing the cut of your dress. You might well want to snag all four of them. Photo Take a look at what Hollywood's stars wear under their gowns »
Plunging
This dipper's padded cups add lift. Straps can be worn as a halter and crisscross. Comes in 32B to 36D.
Backless
Allover adhesive that doesn't lose its grip (even after washing) allows you to flaunt a toned back.
Low Front
Clear straps that you can easily convert make this bra ideal for plunging or wide necklines.
Convertible
The three sets of straps that come with this ultra-versatile bra offer endless ways to transform it.
These comfortable, lightweight basics for everyday wear smooth away bumps, plus support and firm you under formfitting clothes.
Minimizing
The impressive firm control on this camisole reduces the bust size up to 1˝ inches and streamlines the stomach area. The no-slip technology means you never have to worry about stray straps. Sizes 34C to 40DD.
Smoothing
Think of this seamless equalizer as your basic undershirt with extras: It eliminates bulges under tight tops and sweaters, and provides bust support with underwire and adjustable straps. Remember that beige looks best under a fitted white shirt.
Down Low
Sometimes squats and lunges are not enough. These leg and bottom shapers will instantly provide your lower half with the sleek definition you'll require underneath fall's most daring dresses and slinkiest skirts.
Bootylicious
Like a push-up bra, these ingenious padded panties provide serious amplification. Wear them with jeans if your posterior looks saggy, or under a dress or skirt to add shapely curves. The foam pads are contoured to resemble the actual shape of the behind.
Waist Control
Wear this half-slip under a pencil skirt or jersey wrap dress to taper the appearance of the tummy, thighs and bottom. Also, the fabric won't cling to your clothes and it breathes, which means a cool, dry feel. There is no waistband, so the slip won't cut in.
Tummy Tuck
Relax, already! The day of the binding shaper is long behind us. The latest waist whittlers are aimed at your comfort zone.
Tummy Tuck
No need to nip when you can pull on a pair of these satin capris to flatten the belly and thighs. Consider them a pair of footless super-tights, and pair them with a sweaterdress or pencil skirt and slim-fitting boots. Slip them under a dress for a night out.
Long 'n' Lean
Create an unimpeded line from the torso to the thigh with this stellar shaper that won't ride up. These bike shorts eliminate visible panty lines and work just as well under pants as they do with a knee-length skirt or a long, flowing dress.
Total Body
Turn to one of these extraordinary shapers to give you a full-body makeover faster than you could pump out a couple of jumping jacks. These slim your entire core.
King of Cling
Achieve a completely smooth silhouette underneath a knit frock or a blouse-and-skirt ensemble. The three-quarter sleeves on this dress slip ensure your arms will look svelte underneath tight tops. Or simply incorporate the sleeves as a layer in your outfit.
Lighten Up
Makers of this Miracle Suit claim you'll look 10 pounds lighter when you put it on. While the fabric has extra-firm control, it is not stiff or rigid but comfortable and wearable beneath dresses, skirts and pants alike. Cup sizes go from 36B to 42DD.
