Choosing a Bodysuit to Wear under Wedding dress

When looking for a bodysuit to wear under wedding dress, your wedding gown or dress should inform your choice. Popular wedding dresses include fit-and-flare, A-line, mermaid/trumpet, ballgown, and sheath. These combine best with specific bodysuits. Your body shape will also dictate the kind of bodysuit to wear. Here is a quick guide.  

A Bodysuit for Your Type of Gown

Some wedding dresses or gowns are designed backless. If yours is this type, the best choice is a low-back bodysuit. You do not want it showing and a bareback style will ensure that. You can also wear a bra (strapped or strapless) with this type of gown. If you opt for a strapped bridal bodysuit, go for thin straps that will not show easily or you can sew the straps to the gown.

A Bodysuit for Your Shape and Taste

 A bodysuit for “under wedding dress” should fit you snuggly, although not too tightly. Take measurements before buying one to avoid a mismatch. We suggest sizing up instead of down. That will ensure the bodysuit won't feel too fitted and uncomfortable.

Other things to mind when selecting bridal bodysuits include color and tone. You can opt to match the bodysuit color with that of the wedding dress or better still, choose a tone that resembles that of your skin. To conceal your bodysuit under wedding dress, go for “nude” styles. These will ensure your shaping undergarment remains largely unnoticeable.

Ensure your bodysuit, wedding dress and pieces are offering you enough comfort to remain on your body for hours. You may go braless, especially if you’re wearing a form-fitting suit. Most importantly, ensure the bridal bodysuit is properly adjusted, so it sits comfortable without folds, then, enjoy your wedding day!

Conclusion

A bridal bodysuit helps to create a streamlined silhouette that looks great under an open-back wedding gown or close-fitting dress and other styles. This is especially if you want to flaunt your figure with comfort all day long. For maximum comfort, ensure the bodysuit is offering the right fit and support for your body type. Be sure, also, to match the bodysuit with your gown.
