Dress Try On Lingerie

Kelly, on August 14, 2015 at 9:04 AM Posted in Planning 0 9

Help! I have read a few posts about making sure to wear a well fitting bra and panties. but, from the ladies who have been there and done that...What do I really need to wear?

I saw some posts that said strapless, clear straps, wear shape-wear, a full slip....what do I want to wear?

Anything I need to bring? Advice? helpful hints? Tips?

    I wore nude bra and underwear - the salon had a corset I used as well (and purchased - it was brand new). I didn't wear a slip until my alterations.

    I called ahead as well, and my bridal salon was so helpful! They told me what to bring and expect - maybe give the places you are headed a ring?

    I wore light colored underwear and a nude bra but honestly I spent most of the time topless anyways. Wear something simple and what you will feel comfortable in. You can always update your undergarments at fittings.

    I didn't take anything special. The store had slips and a strapless bra for me to wear while trying on. When it comes time for my fitting that will be different.

    My salon requires that you wear the exact undergarments for your fitting that you will wear for the wedding. Which I find difficult b/c how am I supposed to know what will be the right undergarments w/o first trying on the dress (the sample I tried on when I shopped was many sizes too big!)?

    I wore a strapless bra. None of the salons I went to had a strapless bra or corset for me to wear. I also wore spanx shorts. While I didn't think the shapewear was necessary, they were nice because they provided more coverage. At a few of the salons the consultant helped me in and out of the dresses, I felt more comfortable than I would have been in a thong.

    I wore white lace undies and a strapless bra which I took off for some dresses anyway since I was looking for a low back Smiley smile You don't need a lot, don't worry too much about it!

    I wore my best fitting nude bra (pushed the straps down) and I actually wore dark underwear. I wanted to see which of the dresses were see through. The only see-through dresses I tried were at David's Bridal and BHLDN, and one higher end dress that was really light...I think Jim Helm?

    I wore light colored underwear and a strapless bra. I considered wearing Spanx but I wanted to see how the dress looked and felt in my "normal" state, knowing it would look better once I got real support underthings to wear with it.

    The salon provided a long line bra and slip for me to use while trying on dresses. For my first actual fitting I just wore white underwear under the slip and long line.
