Underneath it All - Choosing the Right Bridal Undergarments

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 extent 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, don't 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 gave them, and might 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 smooths out the tummy as
well as functioning as a bra. The boning also helps to keep you from slouching!

Some dresses cannot 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 might 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 v.p.l. 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 for 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.
