How to find wedding dress undergarments that flatter!

You've seen thousands of photos, tried on dozens of wedding dresses. But you may have missed some small items in your search for the perfect wedding day look, those essential unmentionables that go under the dress. Undergarments provide the foundation necessary for your outerwear to look how it's supposed to. They can change the way your dress fits, so you'll need to purchase them before your first fitting. With such broad choices out there, we thought we’d share a few wedding dress undergarment secrets with you.


If you’re wearing a:

 Backless wedding dress – A backless dress typically has a higher front which means that lift in your chest area is going to be important. In many boutiques you’ll find bras that stick to your breasts and give the lift you’ll need. Another option for wedding underwear underneath a backless dress is a backless bra with see-through straps.

 Fishtail skirt – The fishtail skirt is the perfect shape to show off your sexy curves. Enhance your figure with a seamless push-up bra or wedding corset.

 Wedding dress with sleeves - You can wear virtually any type of undergarments with this type of wedding dress, so go for comfort. To keep everything tight and in control, a bust-shaping body slip will do the trick

 Bias-cut wedding dress - Wedding underwear is extremely important with this type of dress due to the fact that it hugs your body tightly. Because the dress is so form-fitting, look for a bra that boosts and enhances.

 Spaghetti straps and a full skirt - You also have a lot of options with this type of wedding dress. Find seamless and smooth undergarments for a perfect look.

 Halter-top wedding dress - These types of wedding dresses are popular, you’ll need a halter-top bra or a bustier. I suggest a halter bra for added comfort and extra support. These types of undergarments are easy to find, since halter tops are so popular. Try on several, and choose the most comfortable one that lifts and enhances.

Always remember to bring your undergarments with you when going for your wedding dress fitting!
