How To Choose A Bridal Bra And Bridal Lingerie
By Carmen Petitclerc

Choosing the right bridal bra is absolutely crucial to the proper fit of all other wedding garments, including the wedding dress itself. All foundation garments can have a gigantic impact on how your wedding dress looks and feels on the big day. It is these items that create a smooth silhouette beneath the wedding gown and help it look fabulous in the pictures that will last a lifetime. Because the bridal bra and other bridal lingerie have such a huge impact on how the wedding dress fits, it is important to choose them before the gown fittings behind. Bridal undergarments should be worn to all fittings to ensure the best fit possible.

Many women purchase their bridal bra and intimate apparel from the same shop or boutique as their wedding gown. This is a wise practice, especially at shops whose sales staff are extremely knowledgeable about the garments they sell. An experienced salesperson can help the bride choose the best bra for her particular gown, this valuable "second set of eyes" can observe the bride from all angles and provide unbiased advice about which foundation garments would be the most useful for the bride's body type and the style of dress she has chosen.

The style and cut of the bride's wedding dress is one of the most important factors to consider when purchasing the bridal bra and bride lingerie. The most useful types of foundation garments for one style of dress may be absolutely useless with paired with another gown. For example, a structured, boned long-line bra can provided much-needed structure, support and shaping beneath an A-line or ball gown-style wedding dress. However, beneath a slinky satin mermaid-cut gown, the boning of a long line bra will probably be visible, rendering the brassiere useless. A good general rule of thumb is this: the more structured the cut of the wedding dress, the more structured the foundation garments may be.

The converse is also true; brides who choose close-fitting gowns in thin fabrics should choose undergarments that are seamless and as invisible as possible. To that end, color is another factor to consider. Most wedding gowns are white or cream; however, the most effective bridal bras and undergarments are often skin-toned, not white. This is because a white bra worn beneath a white dress appears to be even whiter and more visible, whereas undergarments that closely match the wearer's skin tone seem to disappear. Again, this is most crucial with thinner fabrics; undergarments of almost any color can be worn under very thick fabrics with no show-through.

Many modern brides choose a bridal bra with a built-in body slimmer. These garments provide support for the breasts, and also slim the torso, tummy, waist, and often also the thighs. These elastic, supportive garments should be as close to the bride's skin color as possible, and should not have any decorative lacing or other potentially bumpy details. All shapewear should be tried on before purchase to ensure that it is comfortable enough to wear for the entire wedding day.
