Choose lingerie that is comfortable and beautiful.
1. Begin by choosing a bra that offers enough support and is the right style for your dress - from a company you are already comfortable.
2. If your dress has a low or wide-cut neckline, or spaghetti straps; shop for a strapless bra with removable straps that you can make into a crisscross or halter bra.
3. If your dress has a low-cut back; look for a backless bra that hooks at the waist . Walking down the aisle with your bra straps showing takes away from the gown you have put so much time and effort into choosing. Corset-type bustiers help suck in and flatten bulges, creating a smooth line.
4. Slim down with a Lycra or spandex slimmer. This tip keeps you looking trim and is comfortable for an extended period of time.
5. Wear underwear that doesn't show through your dress. Does your gown have a slim-fitting skirt? Pantyhose-underwear combination is a good choice and comfortable.
6. Choose a sexy garter belt, if you dare - make sure that it shows no lines and won't snap during a dance.
7. You will need a slip if you are wearing a long sheath dress.
8. Pick hosiery that is a color to compliment your dress. A White gown and off-black hosiery will not compliment the gown. Try one of the many neutral shades or one in the taupe color family.
9. To avoid panic on your wedding day; buy extra pantyhose for yourself and your attendants.
10. If you plan to kick off your shoes and dance the night away, choose sturdier tights to avoid runs
11. Spend a little extra if you wear a garter belt; make sure it does not slide around and leave you with sagging hose
12. Buy underwire if you are full-busted or full-figured.
13. Try your bra on with your dress to be certain the fit is right.
