To Spanx or not to Spanx? (Body shaping underwear)

Future Mrs.S, on June 28, 2011 at 10:38 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 15

Going to start wedding dress shopping on Saturday and was wondering what underwear to wear. I don't have anywhite strapless bras so going to have to do my best with that. Then I wondered whether I should wear my body shaping underwear to mimick the little bit of weight lost I'd like to atchieve by the wedding - or be true to my shape and let it all hang out and see what suits my more realistic body shape.

That got me thinking are any of you planning on wearing shaping underwear on the big day or are you planning on being able to eat/breath? lol.

    I will be wearing my spanx... just so I don't have to worry about anything. I will have a corset backing, so that will also help.. but I want to be confident.

    I wore them .... and it will really depend on the dress shape that you are trying on ... on my big day I will not wear mine since i have a a line dress that goes out before my hips ... `but if you will be trying on different shapes I say wear them,

    I wore my spanx when I went dress shopping. I knew I'd be wearing them on my wedding day, so I wanted to wear them with my dress.

    I'd recommend it. And you don't neccessarily need a white strapless bra. But any strapless bra. If you don't bring one, they will put you in one and try to sell it too you.

    I'm wearing spanx! My dress is kinda tight, and it's not white, so you can see all of my lumps through it lol

    Right then, bring spanx but also wear underwear in case the dress doesn't require extra sucking in

    I wore Spanx to my dress appointments. I figure if I'm going to wear it on the big day then I should try on dresses with it.

    This is so funny I was at the seamstress yesterday for my first fitting and she said " you won't want to wear that slip you are going to sweat to death in it" 20 minutes later I told her she was right. Now I am going to go buy spanx to wear instead on the slip. I don't need the slip it just puts things into place Lol

    I wore Spanx--along with a longline strapless bra and a crinoline with a "power net waist." At my age (56 on my wedding day) and size (18), I figured I needed all the help I could get.

    @ KatrinaM I bought them at www.lanebryant.com I hate the mall so I rather shop online! LOL not to bad of a price either. With shipping right around $47 but I think it is worth it because the sweating I did in that damn slip I think these will be better.
