The all-new shapewear pieces complement Bali's previously released bra styles and are designed to offer 360-degree stretch and recovery, and go undetected beneath clothing. With these new pieces, Bali is addressing two major concerns that women have with undergarments: visible lines and comfort. The shapewear was designed with HanesBrands’ ultra-thin and innovative SmoothTec fabric technology, which boasts moisture-wicking Cool Comfort. To support a wide range of consumers, Bali's designs are offered in its diverse TruShade color palette, sharing nude colors to suit all skin tones.
