Bridal Lingerie: The Best Lingerie for Your Wedding Dress

If you’re like most brides, you’ve picked your wedding gown months before your big day. You might have had the design in mind long before your fiance thought of proposing. It’s understandable, really, since once the the wedding march starts, all eyes will be on you.

But there’s more to being a radiant bride than having the perfect dress or shoes or make up. You have to be confident - and to do that, you must be comfortable and feel good about yourself. The right bridal lingerie can help you there.

Here’s a short guide on popular wedding dress silhouettes and the right lingerie to match them:

• A-Line
  Considered as a universally flattering cut, this silhouette can work with a seamless pair of bridal underwear and bra.
• Empire
  This cut is forgiving on women with thicker waists and midsections. Wear it with aplomb with a long-line bridal bra. Since empire gowns usually have thin straps or none at all, convertible bridal bras are also a great choice.
• Sheath
  This straightforward style can be tricky to pull off despite its simplicity. If you’re sporting one with a square or low neckline, enhance the effect and your decolletage with bustier. Bridal bustiers are great for a push up effect and can slim your waist to minimize bulges.
• Ballgown
  This full-skirted gown usually has a fitted bodice. To prevent unsightly bulges and to emphasize a slim waist, you might consider wearing a corset. Bridal corsets are great since they have built-in underwire cups. Most styles are also seamless so you can sport a smooth silhouette.
• Mermaid
  Trumpet style, as this cut is also called, is the least forgiving of all. Fake an hourglass figure by using a corset along with other bridal shapewear that shapes your bottom.

There’s more to bridal lingerie’s virtues than surprising your groom on your wedding night. Check out this section for lingerie for brides that’ll help in making you feel comfortable and confident on your big day.
