Once you've decided what type of lingerie works for your gown, it's time to think through your shopping strategies. Remember to always have a photo of your gown handy when shopping online or browsing the boutiques. You should know how low the gown hits your back, and the silhouette you're looking for. Do you want maximum lift, or do you want to minimize your cleavage? Also make sure you shop with your gown's fabric in mind, and choose seamless lingerie for gowns in delicate cloths.
Fit. No matter how clever the design or sumptuous the material, lingerie that doesn't fit is never attractive. We recommend having a professional fitting, or measuring yourself with the help of the Bride experts and their unique fit guide. JAS Designer Lingerie will help you in guiding you to the right bra size measurments. However, lingerie sizing differs greatly depending on the designer, so your best bet is to use your common sense. When trying on an item, stand straight in front of the mirror and examine the fit. Does the underwire of your bra fully cup your breast? Do your breasts spill over the top or sides of the cups? Do the straps sit squarely on your shoulders? Does the piece ride up or cut into your skin? How comfortable you feel is one of the best indicators of whether the fit is right.
Control. The best way to get the control you want on your wedding day is to wear a bustier to slim your torso. It holds your stomach in and creates a smooth line under your dress, while providing the lift and support you want. Wearing a girdle is uncomfortable and unattractive, so if you crave extra support, simply pair control top pantyhose with your bustier.
Quality. You found it, you love it, you're sold. Not so fast. Before you whip out that credit card, take a second to think about quality. Test the elastic first. Does it feel flimsy, or is it firm and resilient? Examine the underwire, checking that each piece is kept in place with two lines of stitching. Anything less, and the wires will wiggle and might poke out later. Most upscale retailers -- whether online or in-store -- only carry reputable designers, but it's important to ask. Remember that bridal lingerie doesn't have to be used only once. If the quality and fit are right, you'll enjoy wearing it again and again.
Once you've found the perfect ensemble, make sure you take care of it. Lingerie should be hand-washed after every use. If not, oil and dirt will accumulate on the fabric and the piece will loose its shape. Trust us, once you've found undergarments that you love, you're going to want them to last a lifetime.
