Bella Bodies & Base Layers

Celebrating 15 years of innovation, Bella Bodies are a true Australian retail success story. Thanks to Founder and Director Michel Schuhmacher's vision, Bella Bodies have become experts in base layers. From humble beginnings on the Northern Beaches of Sydney, the proudly homegrown company has experienced rapid growth nationwide with a fabulous collection of apparel that continues to expand.


Feel confident in your clothes



Bella Bodies has a clear goal- to make women feel great in clothes. And, as we know, feeling confident in clothing is all about the base layers. The right building blocks lay the foundation for a smooth finish.

Bella Bodies innovative shapewear products flatter curves by firming, shaping and smoothing whilst being incredibly comfortable. With these garments as your secret weapon, it's possible to visually ‘trim’ centimetres from your physique.

Soft shapewear styles offer a marvellous combination of contouring, smoothing, boosting, supporting and firming for troublesome areas such as the stomach, hips, thighs, bottom and the bra-line – ensuring your clothing looks sleek and bump-free.

The right base layers



The right base layers require the right fabric. To suit the Australian climate, shapewear collections are made from light, breathable materials that are comfortable and wearable under everyday clothing. Bamboo Viscose and light polyamides are smooth, breathable, and perfect for the Aussie heat. They provide the right amount of shaping and smoothing without causing any unwanted bulging or pinching.

Perfect Partners



Designed to be mixed and matched, the whole collection makes a beautiful ensemble. Try the super-soft Hi-Waist Firming Travel Knicker for perfect coverage. Fantastic for under summer skirts and dresses to smooth and flatten the tummy, these knickers offer full bottom coverage and wide stretchy leg. The light band around the top ensures no extra muffin as it sits right on the waist rather than digging into the waist. 


Mix & Match



Combine these bras with the travel knickers to make a gorgeous matching set. These bras wash and dry super quick, making them the perfect underwear for travelling. There are no lines as the bra smooths the entire area of your bust and back without the dig from an underwire.

Dresses of the season



With the building blocks in place, you can now feel confident stepping into the dresses of the season. Embrace powerhouse prints and bold splashes of colour this summer.
