When choosing their bridal ensembles, many brides focus only on the dress and veil, forgetting about the rest of the supporting cast. The right dress, though, can be spoiled by the wrong undergarments. Bridal undergarments can make or break an outfit, so it is important to select the appropriate styles for your wedding gown.
In your day to day life, you probably do not give much thought to your undergarments. In the morning, most women just grab something from the drawer and go. On a special occasion, you might think about wearing a piece of pretty lingerie, but that is about the amount of it.
When it comes to undergarments for your wedding, though, there is much more to consider. You might want them to be pretty, but really it is the function that matters the most. In fact, a lot of lace or other fancy trim can make a bumpy unattractive look under your wedding gown. If you can get away with something pretty, that's great, but if not, do not worry about it. You will have a lovely gown and sparkling bridal jewelry for adornment. Your bridal undergarments do not have to be decked out with crystals like a piece of jewelry!
Brides wearing strapless gowns will have several options, depending on the shape of the neckline and their figure. If you are small-busted, you can often get away without a bra; just have your seamstress sew bust cups into the bodice of the gown to give you shape and definition. On the other hand, some women want to enhance what nature keep them, and may choose a padded strapless bra to give them a boost.
Many dresses need to be worn with a bustier instead of a strapless bra because of a dip in the back of the bodice. There are many pretty bustiers available, but unfortunately, they only work under gowns with heavily embellished bodices. A safer bet is to pick a very smooth microfiber bustier with no visible boning. The nice thing about a bustier is that it smoothes out the tummy as well as functioning as a bra. The boning also helps to keep you from slouching!
Some dresses can not be worn with a bustier, either because the fabric is too revealing or the back is too low. In that situation, the best option is a high quality stick-on bra. It may sound odd, but brides absolutely swear by them. Be sure to get a high quality stick-on bra that is reusable, because you will need it not only for your wedding day, but for your bridal gown fittings as well.
Wedding gowns with full skirts make selecting undergarments for the lower half a breeze. All you need to worry about is a crinoline, if it is not built in to the gown. From there, you are free to wear the panties of your choice. You can even get ones that have "bride" embellished on the backside in crystals! A word of warning: many brides prefer a brief or boyshorts over a thong, because they find that the petticoat can tend to end up being uncomfortable against a bare bum. Also, you will have people under your gown doing the bustle, so take into mind how much of yourself you want them to see!
Bridal gowns with more fitted skirts will require more functional underwear. Look for very smooth microfiber panties that do not dig in at the waist or hip. The wrong undergarments can create some terrible looking creases and bulges. Also, no bride wants to have vpl on her wedding day! Under some dresses, the best option is a longer smoothing foundation garment that comes down to the mid-thigh. It can provide a nice streamlined look and you avoid having the edges of the underwear show on your tush. Just be sure to pack something more attractive to change into the wedding night!
To make sure that you are doing your gown justice, be careful to pick the right undergarments. An easy way to find the best fit is to bring along an assortment to your first bridal gown fitting and try them all on. The attendants at the bridal shop will be more than happy to help you find the ideal undergarments to make your wedding dress look perfect.
