Bedtime Flirt buying tips for bridal lingerie.
DRESS STYLE
Strapless
Strapless gowns are popular this season, and if you're going sans sleeves, prepare to show those shoulders. Even though you might be tempted to go without, a good bra will give you a nice silhouette and provide support.
The bodices of some dresses (especially those made of lightweight crepe or
chiffon) may be too plain to hide a bridal corset or bustier, which is the
most stable strapless support around. In that case, choose a standard strapless bra that has proper support:
Underwired cups that sit flush against the ribs
and strong elastic across the top. Decorative bra straps are a possible option
on a strapless bra, there are many available for example diamante bra straps
which could make a stunning accessory to your dress.
Empire Waist
A dress with an empire waistline is the most flattering for petite figures, and is perhaps the most comfortable bridal silhouette.
Under empire waistlines, you don't need lots of support, just clean lines and
comfort. Indulge in a sexy teddy that will be enticing when your dress hits
the floor at the end of the night.
A underwired teddy and the dress itself
will take care of lifting the bust, and you'll be comfortable.
Slinky Shapes
Slim is in if you've chosen a slip dress or bias-cut gown, which both cling
to the body. So choose a sexy bra set or cammisole and teddy in a natural colour that's
close to your skin tone.
It should have no seams, to give the impression of an invisible bra.
Choose a thong over french knickers or briefs to avoid
unsightly v.p.l's. Although lace lingerie is always appealing, it won't work
underneath such fine fabrics.
Revealing Styles
Dresses with low necklines and backs are very popular. There are many lingerie options available if you still want to wear a bra.
Backless bras
that are adhesive and stick to your skin at the sides are a wonderful invention
even available in underwired varieties.
For a truly plunging backline you can
use a bra adjuster so that your straps wrap over the shoulder then around the
waist.
A trick for brides with a D cup or larger: have the dress fitter tack
the bra inside the dress to keep lift at maximum height.
If your your happy to
go braless but still want to keep your modesty intact use lingerie tape a
favourite amongst celebrities for those red carpet moments.
BODY SHAPE
Full Figures
A full figure needs full support, especially on the wedding day.
Heavy-bodiced
dresses will cover all the stays and seams and help hold you in place. (Take
advantage of the dress's built-in camouflage and choose some sexy plus size lingerie to wear underneath.)
The boning, not just in the body of the corset,
but also vertically along the front of the cups is what lends support to a strapless bustier.
For added insurance, attach bra straps at the shoulder,
sewing or snapping them inside the dress to keep them from popping out.
If the
cups of the corset you've chosen don't have boning, the next best thing, believe
it or not, is extra padding to give the bust lift and shape.
Small Bust
If your curves need a little coaxing to fill out your gown's lovely neckline, there are plenty of options.
Padded bras create dramatic décolletage, but they
work only under a full-cover bodice.
For a lower neckline, opt for a push-up
bra with a demi cup, which gives the illusion of a fabulous cleavage.
If you
really want to give yourself a fantasy figure, try a gel filled bra, or some
silicon breast enhancers.
A Night To Remember
If the style of your dress has meant you have had to choose plain seam free
boring underwear for the day, change into some seriously sexy lingerie to wow
him on your wedding night.
Be seductive in luxurious silk nightwear or a
flirty babydoll or a sumptuous satin camisole set.
These are also perfect
for spicing up sultry honeymoon nights where red hot lingerie is guaranteed to
raise the temperature.
