Bridal lingerie guide

Be well supported when you walk down the aisle!
If you're planning on tying the knot, we've got some really important advice for you – don't leave your bridal lingerie to the last minute! What you wear underneath your dress plays a vital role in making you look and feel fabulous on your big day. The last thing you'll want to have to worry about is whether or not everything will stay in place! So, plan ahead and make sure your bridal lingerie is as supportable and dependable as your husband-to-be!

Try before you buy
The most important thing is to make sure that you try your lingerie under your wedding dress from the start, so that you don't have a last minute panic looking for something suitable.

Think about what's best for you and your dress
Strapless solutions
If you like the idea of a strapless dress, make sure that you find a strapless bra or basque before you commit yourself as, unfortunately, these styles have more limited size ranges than conventional styles (unless you are prepared to go bra-less of course!).

Basques
Basques are great for creating a smooth line under dresses and, because they are boned, you can wear them without the straps and still feel really secure. Put it this way – if you wear a basque – it should only be you, and not your boobs, bouncing down the aisle!

Please visit our Strapless Bra Styles and a Dressing Up Solutions sections to have a look at our range.

Luxurious bra and brief sets
If you would prefer a sumptuous bra and brief set to support you down the aisle in style, we have some really luxurious sets in our Sensational Sets collection. Just bear in mind that while lacy bras and knickers are a must for the honeymoon, they might not work so well if you have a very fitted dress. In this situation, it's probably best to opt for something smoother.

Seam-free styles
Seam-free styles may not look as pretty, but they will stay invisible under your dress, and guarantee that neither you, nor your guests, will be aware of your underwear. Visit our Sensational Sets and Strapless Styles sections to see our selection of seam-free bras.

Plan ahead
Different bras not only give you a different shape, but can also position your boobs quite differently. For this reason, and because most wedding dresses are very fitted around the bust, it's ideal if you can decide on your bra before you even start to have your dress designed. This way, your designer can actually design and fit your dress so that it works perfectly with your bra and you won't have any last minute panics trying to find the right style.
