About Vella
Made for the moment you zip up the dress.
Vella started with a simple frustration: shapewear that digs in, rolls down, shows through, and makes you count the minutes until you can take it off.
We wanted one piece that does the job properly. A full-body shaper with firm, Colombian-style compression that smooths from shoulders to thighs, but stays comfortable enough to forget you're wearing it. Seamless edges so nothing shows under bodycon, silk or jersey. A front zip so getting in and out takes seconds. An open-crotch design so you never have to wrestle it off in a bathroom stall.
That piece is The Full Body Shaper, and it's the reason Vella exists.
Built for real bodies
Every body is different, so we make the shaper in sizes XS to XXXL (UK 6–26), in Black and Beige. Order your usual UK dress size. If it isn't right, we'll help you swap it.

Thank you for being here. We hope Vella becomes the piece you reach for every time you want to feel your best.
