I tried a Skims dupe from Kmart in a size 20, it was smoothing but turned my cleavage to pancakes
A Kmart shopper found a cheaper alternative to the viral Skims bodysuit on her latest visit to the store.
The TikToker, who wears a size 20, modeled the shapewear for her followers.
In her video, Gabrielle Sawyer (@gabrielle.sawyer) explained: “I normally wear a size 20 and this is an 18 because that’s the size it goes up to.”
After holding up the bodysuit, she showed her followers her natural body.
“This is my glorious pre-body, she doesn’t need any work but we’ll try it on anyway,” Gabrielle told viewers.
She explained in the caption of the clip that she wanted to investigate if the shapewear was a “Skims dupe or just another bodysuit.”
Modeling the look, Gabrielle shared her thoughts on the $17 Seamfree bodysuit.
“This is it on my body, does it make a big difference? I don’t know, it depends on what you’re after,” she said.
The fashion fan explained: “Is it sucking in? No but is it smoothing? Yes.”
She continued: “It’s comfy and I sized down one size and it still fits well.”
However, Gabrielle did notice a design feature that might not be for everyone.
“It’s pretty pancakey, you’ll still need a bra I feel,” she told her followers.
Gabrielle concluded her video by sharing her uncertainty over whether or not the item was a Skims dupe.
“It’s a bit of a bummer if you were looking for shapewear,” she concluded.
TikTok users took to the comments section to share their thoughts on the look.
“Damn they’re tryna make shapewear but don’t want to include plus-size people,” wrote one viewer.
Another follower said: “I think it’s fine but as you said, no need to change your beautiful body, any singlet would look similar.”
“I didn’t think mine did much,” commented a third person.
