Most women know the
power of great underwear and design has evolved dramatically over the
years: lingerie now comes in just about every style imaginable and is
multi-functional too, being both practical as well as gorgeous enough
for that all-important first night too. Do not underestimate the power
of well-fitting beautiful underwear in helping you to feel fabulously
sexy. Here's the lowdown on wedding underwear for women.
Shopping
According to recent research, brides spend an average of £65 on lingerie for their big day, but you will find underwear to suit any budget in high street shops and specialist bridal underwear shops. Obviously you need to take into account the fabric and colour of your dress but you can still indulge yourself with pretty underwear that complements your look. When shopping you will find there is an array of styles, fabrics and bra types, so consider your dress and body shape to determine what style you need; whether it be strapless, plunge or balconette, among others. Whatever you opt for - a bustier, corset (providing an hourglass effect and crucial support) and bra set, suspenders, stockings and garter - make sure you feel comfortable and sexy. Underwear is your hidden secret, giving you confidence and your new husband an extra treat on your wedding night.
Sizing
Most women are wearing the incorrect
bra size, so take the opportunity to be measured properly when shopping
for your bridal lingerie. You will undoubtedly find it makes all the
difference to have underwear that fits you perfectly. This is
especially true with bigger-busted women, whose shape can change
radically with the right bra. Once you know your real sizes, enjoy a
good look around the specialist bridal underwear shops; you will find stunning
pieces in the bridal collections which are ideal both for wearing
underneath a wedding dress and for making his jaw drop on honeymoon!
