What lies beneath

 

When it comes to looking – and feeling great on your wedding day, choosing the right underwear is almost as important as choosing the right dress.

Getting it right means finding lingerie which flatters the overall line of your gown, as well as making you go in – and out – at all the right places.

Choosing lingerie is especially difficult if the dress of your dreams is a slinky, clingy, strapless or halter-neck number, so don’t ever be tempted to leave the task until the last minute.

The first rule of finding those perfect undies is to know exactly what the dress looks like before you even start. Lacy undies with bows and frills may look great but if your dress is simple with smooth lines, then fussy underwear is a definite no-no.

As with the dress, the right shape, size and style of underwear can blost your assets and hide any flaws, whereas poorly-fitting small can ruin even the most beautiful of gowns.

Remember, you want to feel as gorgeous underneath your gown as you look in it – having the right lingerie will complete your wedding day outfit.

If you are looking for separates there a few options:

B by Ted Baker
B by Ted Baker
This lace embroidery B by Ted Baker at Debenhams set is very pretty.
It wouldn’t work under a sleek figure-hugging dress these will be a no-no, but if your dress has lace detailing this would be perfect.
The shorts and slightly longer top should enable a perfect fit, with no lumps or bumps you can get sometimes.
 










 
Bridal lingerie from Simply Yours
Bridal lingerie from Simply Yours
Another set that may not work under a very sleek dress, but gorgeous nonetheless. The pretty detailing is a lovely addition to bridal lingerie coming from Simply Yours, but watch out if your dress has thin straps, as the bows may become a problem.
 
sleek option from Ultimo
Sleek option from Ultimo
This is a more sleek option from Ultimo, and the little blue button detailing could be your ‘something blue’ for the day. The French knicker has always been appreciated as a sexy addition to the lingerie world, so it would definitely be appreciated.
 
 
 

frillyThis Myla set is very quirky. The thin straps would be perfect under smaller straps on a dress and the silky material would work very well under a sleek dress. The frills at the base of the bra and on the waist of the knickers would work perfectly under an A-line or babydoll dress.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If it is strapless you need, Ultimo have the perfect pair. This set would work brilliantly underneath a strapless or spaghetti strap dress, and sleek materials like satin and silk wouldn’t cause problems.
