Under Wedding Gown
What you wear under your wedding gown can be as important as the gown itself, because the lingerie you wear underneath your wedding dress can make the difference between looking good and looking absolutely amazing on your wedding day. Flattering undergarments can make you look slimmer, boost your cleavage and make your gown appear more fitted. By looking at each part of your wedding gown from neckline to hemline, you can select the correct undergarments to wear.
Before you set out to find the perfect lingerie for your wedding day, consider the color of your wedding dress. The lingerie items you will need depend on the dress. If you are wearing stark white, pick stark white undergarments to match. If your dress is an ivory or champagne hue, nude or flesh-colored undergarments will work best. Try to find undergarments that are closest in color to your gown so that they will not show through. This is especially important if your gown is made of thin or translucent material.
Look carefully at the cut of the neckline of your dress. If you choose strapless wedding dress, you will not want to wear any form of lingerie with straps. If the gown is a halter, cross-strap or one strap, invest in lingerie with convertible straps so that you can position the straps to hide perfectly under the material of your gown.
Take note of how the dress fits from the stomach down. If the dress feels snug or looks tight around your stomach, wear a one-piece slimmer that is connected to the bra. This will slim your waistline and make the dress appear more fitted to your shape. If you have an hourglass figure, a one-piece slimmer can accentuate your curves. If the dress is fitted tight around your buttocks, consider thong-style underwear so you will have no lines visible through your dress.
If the dress appears too tight around your thigh area, which is often the case with mermaid wedding dresses and a line wedding dresses, purchase leg slimmers. These resemble spandex shorts and can be purchased as separate undergarments or incorporated into a one-piece slimmer.
