So you may have the perfect dress; but underneath that what do you wear? You
need underwear that is very comfortable but also holds you in and makes the
dress hang well. You need something that fits absolutely perfectly and looks
great.

Traditionally bridal lingerie comes in three colours; white, cream and ivory
if your dress is also white or light. If you are wearing a dress that is coloured
then you can dress accordingly; just in case some of your underwear becomes
exposed.

Comfort however is more important than looks. You can always slip into
something sexier in the night but the corset you wear in the day mustn’t dig in.

Choices include the corset – this is a full body piece that should fit perfectly
(think Dita Von Teese!). It is important this is comfortable – these will hold your
middle in well and push your breasts up. Therefore they are good for fuller
women but they can also be uncomfortable if worn all day. If you have a large
chest you may want to avoid this as there may be too much cleavage.

A bustier is similar to corset but more like a vest with boning. This is better for
the small chested women.

A strapless bra is the most common for brides. With a well fitting strapless bra
you can work your dress around it. If your dress is strapless or has fine straps
you will need this. People with very large chests will struggle finding a strapless
bra that fits well – therefore consider a strapped dress.

If you have small breasts then you can get away with wearing the small adhesive
cups. If you are wearing a revealing plunge dress you will need sticky tape
suitable for the skin.

If you are wearing a very slinky dress in silk or satin you will need a smooth
fitting Lycra body – buy this in white or nude. These have invisible seams and
often have body control too meaning they hold you together in the best possible
way. They often have attachments for stockings.

In the evening you can change to a thong and bra set; something sexy from Agent
Provocateur or a Baby Doll. Baby Doll gowns are loose fitting sheer items that
feel comfortable and are loose so great for bigger ladies. You can also by ones
with cup support.
