OMG sis, so you’ve found THE dress—yay!
But let’s talk about something nobody mentions enough: what the heck goes UNDER that gorgeous gown!
Trust me, the right underthings can make or break your comfort on the big day (and we both know you’ll be wearing that dress for like 12 hours straight).
1. Start With Your Dress Style
Before you buy anything, take a good look at your dress:
Is it see-through in bright light? (Been there, almost showed everyone everything at my friend’s wedding!)
Does it have a crazy low back or plunging neckline?
Is it super fitted around your hips and tummy?
Your answers totally determine what you’ll need underneath!
❤️Girl’s fashion hack #1:
Use nail polish clear coat on fraying thread ends to stop further unraveling until you can properly repair the item!
2. Pick the right bra is key
Girl, finding the right bra for wedding dresses can be a JOURNEY:
Listen, I learned this the hard way at my cousin’s wedding when I was a bridesmaid.
I thought my regular bra would work fine under the dress if I just tucked the straps in—BIG mistake!
Not only did the straps keep popping out in literally every photo, but the back of the bra was totally visible through the sheer panel…
The photographer actually had to photoshop it out of the formal pictures…and my cousin still brings it up at family gatherings.
Don’t be me baddies.
Get the right bra and save yourself from becoming a cautionary wedding tale!
For strapless dresses? Get a really good strapless bra with silicone grips—not the cheap one hiding in your drawer that you’re constantly yanking up!
Got a backless moment happening? Those sticky boob cups are seriously magical (just practice wearing them before the big day, trust).
If you’re blessed in the chest department, maybe look into a corset or bustier for extra support.
Your back will thank you during that 3-hour reception!
If you are reading this blog post till now, there’s one thing for sure…
You have good taste! <3 If you approve of some of these looks, please kindly pin or share some of these outfits so many tasteful fashion babes can come across this outfit inspo, thanks pretty! ❤️
And…it would truly mean the world to me if you stay until the very end. ❤️
❤️Girl’s fashion hack #2:
Prevent button-down shirts from gapping between buttons by using double-sided fashion tape <3
3. Shapewear: Your Secret Weapon
I’m not saying you NEED shapewear, but it can make you feel so much more confident:
Those high-waisted smoothing shorts are life-changing under fitted dresses.
There are these amazing seamless thigh bands that prevent the dreaded chub rub if your dress is flowy.
If your dress is satin or silk, smoothing everything out underneath helps it look EXPENSIVE.
❤️Girl’s fashion hack #3:Rub clear deodorant on the inside hem of pants/skirts to prevent thigh chafing. ❤️
4. The Practical Stuff Nobody Talks About…
Bathroom breaks! Seriously, think about this. How will you pee?!
Those all-in-one bodysuits can be tricky, so maybe bring a bridesmaid for assistance (true friendship right there).
You’re gonna be sweating, so look for breathable fabrics.
ALWAYS go nude-colored, not white, even under a white dress. White undies show through like crazy in photos!
❤️For my baddies who wanna spoil themselves: ❤️
For the baddies who wanna spoil themselves but don’t wanna break the bank… check out the bags babies below❤️
From my backend data, almost every 3 days someone from LTK and my email list will buy these two bags lol (Different sizes - some prefer mini some prefer the normal).
It's always so fun see from data to know what you girls prefer!
❤️Girl’s fashion hack #4:Use rolled-up magazine pages to maintain boot shape when storing – truly work wonders imo lol
5. Don’t forget bridal lingerie
Let’s talk bridal lingerie, sis!
This is your chance to get something super pretty that makes you feel like a total bombshell.
White is classic, but who says you can’t rock a bold color or cute pattern? Plus, these pieces are perfect for boudoir pics or your honeymoon adventures!
A silky robe isn’t just gorgeous—it’s practical!
You can slip it on and off without messing up your hair and makeup while you’re getting ready.
Babydoll negligees are my favorite because they look amazing on literally everyone. Cute, flirty, and perfect for feeling like a bride beyond just the ceremony!
As for garters—honestly, they’re mostly tradition at this point! Back in the day, they actually held up stockings, but now they’re mostly for the garter toss (if you’re into that).
If you want one, get a set with a fancy one to keep and a simpler one to throw. And wear it on whichever leg feels right—there are no rules!
Just remember to put it on before your shoes! But seriously, if the garter toss isn’t your thing, skip it! Plenty of modern brides do.
❤️Girl’s fashion hack #5:
Stretch tight shoes by wearing them with thick socks and blowing them with a hairdryer!
6. Don’t Forget These Extras
If your dress needs some oomph, a petticoat adds amazing volume.
Static is the WORST—a slip can prevent your dress from clinging to your legs.
Cute garter? Yes for tradition, but get a comfortable one if you’re wearing it all day!
Bring everything to your fittings! Your seamstress will thank you, and you’ll avoid any day-of surprises.
❤️Girl’s fashion hack #6:
Quick fix – Brighten yellowed white clothing by soaking in a solution of lemon juice and hot water!
FINAL THOUGHTS:
Remember sis, the perfect wedding day undergarments are the ones you completely forget you’re wearing because they’re so comfortable!
When you’re out there living your best life on the dance floor, the last thing you want is to be fidgeting with a fallen bra strap or yanking at riding-up shapewear.
Now go get married and be fabulous! ✨💕
