Undergarments

[DisBride011]

WHat did you wear under your dress? I know it's kind of a personal question but I need some help. I have not gotten my dress yet but I am going strapless. My question is did/would you wear a corset or just a strapless bra? When I tried on dresses at David's Bridal they had me wear a corset, when I tried dresses on at another I just wore the bra I had on. I am a curvy girl and the corset made me feel as though it smoothed out my upper body. I'm just a little confused

To Corset or not to corset, that is the question.

Thanks!

I guess it really depends on the dress you get. Corsets are nice though to hold everything in lol I tried on a few dresses with one on and liked it but opted not to wear one for the wedding. I actually did not wear a bra under mine. I am very small on top and my dress already had cups sewn in it. Mine was a halter so it worked out great now having to worry about one. For the bottom area, I wore a simple white thong and my hose.

i'm opting for spanx and a regular strapless. it was the most comfortable and i'll wear both again in the future!!

the longer full torso wouldn't look right with my dress either.

I would wait to decide this until I actually had the dress—it definitely depends on the dress you get. Some have boning and/or cups sewn in, so you don't need to wear anything underneath (upstairs, anyway ). If your dress does require some sort of foundation garment, it's best to try on different kinds under the dress first. If the fabric is thin or clingy, a heavily boned corset might show through. On the other hand, a smoother, Spanx-style shaper might not provide enough support or could create bulges at the top or bottom (I don't care what Spanx says, that muffin has gotta come out somewhere! )

Hahaha Lurkyloo!

I agree that it depends on the dress. When I went in to pick up my dress from alterations I tried on a few different options that they had for sale @ David's and settled on this: http://www.davidsbridal.com/Product...s-Longline-Bra-8704_Accessories-Lingerie-Bras I'm wearing a spanx type bottom under it. I was just gonna stick with my own strapless bra but the way this bra smoothed everything out was amazing. I love it!

Spanx...and I will probably need to have cups sewn into my dress. It has a deep sweetheart in the front and a low back, so I'm afraid even a long line strapless bra might show.

My dress is strapless and it comes down low in the back. When I first tried on the dress, I brought a strapless bra with me and you were able to see the top of it in the back. The alterations lady suggested I go to Lady Grace and find a bra with a low back. I actually found one that is SUPER comfortable. It's strapless, but it has a torso on it (not exactly like a corset because I can breathe!). I don't know when I will ever wear it again, but it will definitely keep me comfy on the big day. HTH!

I'm curvy myself so I worry about things looking smooth. I just bought this and I have my first fitting on Wednesday so I'll let you know how it goes. I'm thinking I'm going to wear a pair of spanx under it to smooth the bottom out.

I bought the bridal corset by Le Mystere, http://www.lemystere.com/collections/details.asp?collection_id=10&PageIndex=1. It was pricey but very comfortable and very smooth. I have a strapless dress that will be pretty tight but my dress shop said to get a corset anyways. I have several strapless bras that I wear and I find that after a few hours they are killing me and digging into my ribs and I feel like things are not longer staying where they need to. If you've never worn a strapless and are considering it I'd try wearing it around first to see how it feels.

I just got regular matching panties. My dress is a regular A line so you won't see my thighs...

I have cups sewn into my dress, so no bra for me, and i'm having an underbust corset too

I planned on wearing a long line type of strapless bra from Lady Grace. When my dress came in it didn't look good. The dress had lots of boning and I was able to go without and my dress fit perfect! Hard to believe because I'm not small on top

 

[PrincessTinker11]

I am doing Spanx as well with cups sewed into my dress!

I ordered a seamless corset (Felina Essentials Seamless Hidden Wire Bustier 7643) and love it! It has a low back and smooths everything out.

Sizes run a little small so I would order a cup size bigger

My dress had a built in corset so the girl recommended that I wear nothing under. I tried it on with a strapless bra but the corset in the dress was very supportive so I ended up not wearing anything like the girl at the store initially said. I was very comfortable on my wedding day. And I'm not a small girl anywhere (espcially on top) so my mom and I were shocked that I didn't need anything underneathe.

I'm wearing a longline bra. Like a strapless bra that is long and has hooks all down the back. Keeps me sucked in, is comfortable, and comes down low in the back so it does not show.
