Bridal lingerie is specially designed underwear exclusively for wedding day use. It provides additional support and shaping to the w
Bridal lingerie comes in three main forms - bustier, corset and basque. Bustier, similar to bra, is boned and lengthened to the waist. It trims the bride's midriff. Corset form is there mainly for brides wearing strapless gowns. The basque form supports breasts, and includes suspenders to trim the abdominal area. Popular lingerie styles include satin jacquard corset, satin lace garter belts, soft net chemise, under wire baby doll, and lace long line bustier.
The color and shape of the bridal lingerie largely depend on your bridal gown and your body shape. If you choose a strapless or an off-the-shoulder bridal gown, select a bustier or corset type lingerie. If you choose a halter-style or backless bridal gown, then an adhesive bra is good for you. For some other dresses, such as one that laces up the back and shows some skin, select lingerie that takes up minimal area. Bridal lingerie is available in both normal and plus sizes.
When you plan to buy bridal lingerie, the best place to start purchasing is a reputable store entirely dedicated to lingerie. These shops will have experienced staffs who can help you find good innerwear according to your shape and size. There are also many online lingerie stores that offer bridal lingerie. In the case of direct shopping, it is good to take your bridal gown with you, or at least a photo of it, which can help you find matching lingerie.
Always choose bridal lingerie that satisfies your tastes and preferences. Make sure that the lingerie is sleek and fits close to your body, without any bagging or slipping. Make sure that the bridal lingerie selected will help you to minimize stress on your feet and in heels.
Always choose a fabric that is comfortable to your skin and is less prone to snag or tear. Remember that many wedding dresses are very hot, so wearing thick or less airy lingerie can increase the heat and tension. Bridal lingerie is often more costly than ordinary lingerie, often around $50. Kent Pinkerton
