Control pants or a corset?

I am a bridesmaid in October. The dress is gorgeous but designed more for an 18 year old gymnast rather than a 32 year old mother of two. I'm hoping to lose at least another stone (having lost one since january) but am still going to have a really wobbly tummy.

So, do I need super control pants that come right up under my bra or a corset to hoike me in? I know it's a while away but I just want to get myself sorted out before I have to line up with the other bridesmaids (which I think are all size 8-10's for the fitting.)

Don't 'hold-it-all-in' knickers have a habit of rolling down if you pull them up that far? They do on me, anyway! But mightn't a corset be a tad uncomfy?

corset would be easier when you need to use the ladies.Control pants are a bugger to get down and back up again,you'll be in a sweat.

i would go with teh magic pants as they smooth everything down. also they are more comfortable. going to the loo is a bit of a pain but worth it!

Thanks everyone for your help. (Sorry I haven't responded sooner but I didn't pop in for a few days and then couldn't find my thread even with a search. Just stumbled on it by accident.) !
