When it comes to custom designed dresses, most of the time the designer will discuss the inner corsetry work that will be included inside the dress, and what under garments you will require.

The style of undergarments or shape wear will depend on the style of dress.

For example if it is slinky and form fitting I would suggest a sculpting under slip. (I would always suggest any undergarments are purchase in skin tones, as white or darker colour can produce a shadowing effect.)

The purpose of the shape wear is to create a smooth line underneath your dress, I would try to avoid any of the pant or skirt styles that start at the waist as these can dig in at the waistline, and are usually the style that roll down.

The only real way to prevent roll down is to seek out shape wear that has a bra or straps attached.
