Shapewear enhances the appearance of areas of a wearer's body, including the abdominal region. Typical shapewear that targets the abdominal area is often uncomfortable, because it uses methods to provide additional control to the area that also decrease the flexibility of the fabric. The shapewear garment disclosed herein includes a region configured to cover the abdominal region of a wearer. The abdominal region of the shapewear garment includes at least one dart provided in the fabric. The fabric of the shapewear garment is a high-elasticity fabric containing from about 20% to about 60% elastane. The darts in the abdominal region increase the control in the targeted abdominal area without significantly decreasing the flexibility and comfort of the high-elasticity fabric.
