Lingerie advice?

Tiffany, on October 13, 2019 at 3:23 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 13
I'm the kind of girl who's had Wal-Mart bras and underwear her whole life. I want to start branching out and experimenting with some new brands/looks before the wedding and honeymoon. What's the best way to figure out what you look best in? I mean nightgowns and bras you can try on in store, right? I can count on one hand the number of times I've been in a Victoria's secret. I walked through there the other day and I wasn't sure where to start. Would it be safer to just order some things online and see? Or should I try to go somewhere to try stuff on?

    Personally I find decent lingerie on a budget at Ross, Marshall's, or even Burlington Coat factory. You can try looking online and reading reviews on amazon too!

    When I’ve used VS, I always rely on a sales clerk. I let her choose options and go from there. I bought some honeymoon pieces from Macy’s also - they have great sales, which makes things affordable!

    I would check Adore Me! They’re an online website. I’ve gotten quite a bit from them and it’s always pretty awesome stuff.

    Try Fredrick’s too! Much cheaper and a wider variety. Also, if you sign up for text alerts you get sales a lot!

    My go to is normally Adore Me- super simple and not too pricey. I'd also do a quick Google search and see if there are any boutiques in your area. We have one by us and they are so friendly and go out of their way to help and to make sure you're comfortable in what you get.

    I love nightgowns and sexy comfortable lingerie so I’m always searching for them. I do like VS but yes it can be little expensive. You can find some silk nightgowns at Tjmax, Ross and Marshall’s. For my honeymoon I used Amazon, VS and Bloomingdales. Because I know what I like it wasn’t hard for me to shop online and you’ll be surprise how many beautiful things Amazon has. Just make sure to read reviews and description for the fabric. You can go to stores and try on different styles. One piece I think looks good on anyone is a lace long coverup. I got one in Amazon for less than $10.

    Adore Me makes really affordable cute and sexy items. They seem to be just as well made as Victoria's Secret and tend to be cheaper. I also think VS cup sizes run a bit small compared to most other brands.

    Keep in mind that your wedding lingerie may not actually be a part of your wedding dress look. Some dresses with thin or formfitting fabrics require shape wear or seamless nude colored underwear and many brides go braless in their wedding dresses. For your wedding day look, a cute pair of panties may be all the lingerie you need!

    As a side note: I find most cute lingerie is really impractical for everyday use because you can see lace through a lot of fabrics and some of the cuts aren't very practical under regular clothes. My sexy bras and panties come out of hiding maybe a couple times a year at most. I probably have 4-5 sets of cute lingerie and really wish I only had 1-2 because I don't wear them under clothes and when I do put them on its for 5-10 minutes at most. Just something to consider as you are shelling out $$$ for your wedding. I definitely LOVE having a couple super sexy items, but I wouldn't recommend buying yourself a sexy new bra/panty set for every day of the week. You probably don't need as much sexy underwear as you think!

    If it's in your budget I'd recommend La Perla or Agent Provocateur

    I have shopped at Burlington, Ross, Victoria's Secret, Frederick's at Hollywood, Adore Me, and Rihanna's new Savage line.
