The Bridal Necessities: Getting Started



The Bridal Necessities: Everything you'll need to know about bridal underpinnings.

Getting Started ....

The truly prepared bride-to-be will select her underpinnings before her first trip to the bridal boutique. While these wedding undergarments may not be the ones you'll be wearing down the aisle, you'll need something comfortable and flattering to wear when you try on dresses.

One option is to wear a comfortable strapless or convertible bra and a pair of seamless boyshorts (if you're modest) or a thong (if you're not). Just remember that you'll be trying on dozens of gowns in front of a room full of people. Choose undergarments that you'll be comfortable wearing all day – ones that will flatter your figure under any gown imaginable.

For now, abandon all images of brides wearing heavily adorned corsets and crinolines. In reality, it would be virtually impossible to create a smooth silhouette under modern fabrics if you're wearing lingerie trimmed with ruffles and bows. Even if you are wearing a traditional gown, you'll still want your first layer to be as smooth, comfortable and lightweight as possible. Some brides still choose to wear bustiers and garters underneath, but if you are a bride-to-be who wants the minimalist look: go seamless!

A Few Necessities ....

Supremely versatile – Dominique's Seamless Strapless Bra is convertible and seamless. Available in sizes up to 48DD – this bra is perfect for brides-to-be of every size.

Va Bien's Ultra-Lift Seamless Bustier and Felina's Essentials Bustier are sleek choices for brides-to-be seeking a touch of shaping support through the torso. Great to wear while trying on dresses, these bustiers transition seamlessly to the big day.

Combining elements of several shapewear pieces into one comfortable, flattering silhouette, body briefers offer smoothing support of the bust, waist and tummy – making them perfect to wear while trying on gowns. Consider purchasing a strapless body briefer like Body Wrap's Strapless Body Briefer Bodysuit.

A comfortable, supportive choice for the full figure bride is Goddess' Lace Longline Underwire – it is available up to size 50FF.

The most comfortable seamless thongs least likely to cause VPL are Commando's Low Rise Thong, and Calvin Klein Naked Thong, with seamless stretch microfibers and “naked” construction (no elastic or trim), these panties have laser-cut edges to ensure an ultra-smooth fit.

Seamless panties are comfortable and provide full coverage in a variety of silhouettes.
