Under my dress...

GeologyGirl, on June 16, 2016 at 2:01 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 19

So I am thinking of wearing shorts under my dress. It is a long semi-ballgown tulle dress with lace. Wearing shorts under skirts and dresses is something I have done since I was younger because I have big thighs. During my bridal shower, which was only 2-3 hrs, I wore hose under my not long dress and it was very uncomfortable after a while (sorrynotsorry tmi). Anyone where shorts under their dress before? Good idea or bad?

    I don't think it's necessarily bad but there are other ways to prevent chaffing if that's what you're talking about. I use powder deodorant to help, and they end up helping more for me because the bike/yoga shorts I have tend to ride up after a while.

    I'm planning on getting under summers which is a short made especially for chafing.

    Get the 7" compression shorts and they shouldn't ride up on you. The 5" and 3" would be too short to do any good. I used to sell cars and any day I wore a dress, I wore shorts under it to keep the goods from showing when I was getting in and out of coupes and lifted trucks and I never had a problem. I now wear them under dresses to keep my thighs from sticking together when it's hot.

    I wear spanx-ish type shorts. They're not really spanx but they are seamless spandex shorts so I can wear them under dresses and you can't tell!

    I know many women who wear spanx under their wedding dresses so I don't think it would be weird at all.

    I sometimes wear shorts under dresses, too, so I don't find it strange at all! I'd definitely recommend a dry run during a fitting, though, to make sure the color won't show through, and you won't be able to see the outline, although that shouldn't be a problem with a ballgown.

    I'm wearing shorts under my wedding dress Just so I can step out of the bottom part of my dress when I use the bathroom.

    I have the Spanx and Bali shorts that have the tummy slimmer, too. The best!

    Walmart sells skirt shorts that are perfect for this. I plan to wear a pair Saturday under my dress.

    I agree with PP's about Spanx shorts, but for if you're not looking for the slimming/compression effect, American Apparel makes great bicycle shorts that I wear under sun dresses all the time.

    Do whatever makes you comfortable. No bride should be fidgety, picking, or uncomfortable. My thighs are best friends. I use body glide because they like to stick together, and that is what I've found to work.

    @amanda I have these perfect yoga shorts but they have a small butt zipper which I think will be ok. I have had all my fittings since my wedding is in a week!!!!!! These yoga shorts never ride up and I know will be perfect.

    I thought about using deodorant but I worry that after pictures and a ceremony outside I will regret no shorts.

    Thanks for all the advice y'all!

    Someone suggested body glide on this forum a few weeks ago. Got some for my cruise so I could wear dressed (got compression shorts just in case) and Bodyglide is magic!
