Bridal lingerie or Shapewear?

Underwear is important to complement your outfit, but it's especially essential under your wedding dress. Bridal lingerie isn't solely about shaping your figure; it's about adding something special to your dress.

What should you consider when choosing bridal lingerie?

It's crucial that your shapewear isn't visible under your wedding gown. It shouldn't create lines or rolls.

You can choose from three levels of control: light, medium, and strong. For a worry-free day in your wedding dress, we recommend opting for medium shapewear. It ensures your shapewear remains comfortable throughout the day. Of course, you could go for strong shaping, but if you're not used to wearing shapewear, you might not find it as comfortable.

The color of your shapewear should match your wedding dress. While white lingerie under a white gown is a common choice, soft nude shapewear is less likely to be visible under a white dress.

Additionally, consider the type of wedding dress:

Fitted Dress

A fitted dress like a Mermaid or Trumpet style extends halfway down your thighs or flares out from the knees. You can choose a body shaper that reaches almost to your knees, such as the Thinstincts 2.0 Open Bust Bodysuit or the Suit Your Fancy Low Back Bodysuit. But keep in mind, using the restroom might be challenging. Nevertheless, a body shaper will make you look perfect in your dress.

A well-designed shaping dress could also be a great option under your fitted dress.

Strapless Dress

For a strapless dress, consider shapewear like high-waisted shorts such as the Perle Body Shaper or the Perle High Waist Slip and String, or the Thinstincts Hi-Bermuda.

You could also opt for a waist cincher that shapes only your torso. Maidenform's waist nipper is perfect for this purpose.
