Ace The Wedding- Bridal Shapewear

Many brides-to-be are confused by the different lingerie on offer or even what the differences are between various styles, such as corsets to basques, or the benefits of wearing them on your wedding day. It is not surprising that the wedding is preceded by countless hours of dress fittings. It is only fitting that shapewear plays a major role in this.

Bridal shapewear has come a long way from suffocating girdles. Today, most of them do not feel like a vice and are made of lightweight cotton and nylon-lycra.

Bridal shapewear includes minimizer bras, bodysuits, thigh slimmers, slip shaper and more. Mermaid and trumpet slips are very common as they provide the fit-and-flare look. While A-line slips are common under A-line dresses, many brides-to-be choose to wear hoop slips under gowns.

Most form fitting gowns are best paired with the classic spanx or a compression style waist cincher. Bodysuits too are big favourites amongst brides wearing sheath gowns.

Whether or not a bride ‘should’ wear shapewear is one hundred percent dependent on how confident she is about her body. Many times, women recovering from labour or those in the middle of losing weight feel the need to fill out their wedding dress- something shapewear allows them to do with marginal ease (and some discomfort). In the end, the only thing that matters is how comfortable the bride feels- and how she looks in photos.

Achieve That Lift: Bridal Corsets (Push Up)

It is known that bridal corsets are available in two types: the underbust corset, which extends only till the upper rib cage of the wearer and does not cover the bust, and the overbust corset, which starts at the hip and provides support to the bust region too. Most people believe that as the underbust corset does not cover the bust, it provides no lift whatsoever, while the overbust corset shapes and lifts the bust. This is a common misconception and the truth is that both these options provide a lift to the bust region, and therefore, both can be considered to be push up bridal corsets.

The underbust push up bridal corset helps distribute the tissue right under the bust region. This combined with the fact that it cinches the region right below the bust ensures that these items provide the wearer with a surprising degree of lift. Meanwhile, the overbust push up bridal corset provides the wearer with a reasonable degree of lift, but is mainly used by women who want to minimize their bust size and fit into their wedding dress. These types of corsets are generally worn best under off shoulder wedding dresses or those with a plunging neckline.

It is very important to choose the wedding dress first and then try out push up bridal corsets. This will ensure that the corset matches the dress and is comfortable for the bride.

The Big Day: Bridal Lingerie Corsets

Amongst all the chaos of choosing wines and food items, decorations and lightings, dresses and shoes, and so on, a bride faces the important task of choosing bridal lingerie. It tends to get all very confusing. There are corsets, then there are girdles, bustiers, shapers, and then there are chemises and bra sets, all available in multiple colours. For someone who is doing it all for the first time, it can be a harrowing experience, one full of confusion and exasperation about what to buy in the face of countless options with innumerable designs. However, the brides have spoken- it was recently revealed in a survey that most brides prefer to wear bridal lingerie corsets over other forms of underwear and lingerie.

There are many types of bridal lingerie corsets available with decorations and embellishments, such as lace or small buttons or hooks. These are usually not worn under wedding dresses, which normally feature very fitted bodices and most of the times have traces of sheer fabrics. A smooth polyester, satin and nylon corset looks best when paired with a gown, and those made of sheer material or having neutral colours, such as a natural skin tone, ivory, or pink, will reduce unwanted flashes that may be seen when the dress is exposed to the high intensity light of camera flashes.

Most brides make the mistake of wearing bridal lingerie corsets directly on the day of their wedding. Ideally, a corset should be worn at least for a fortnight to be worn comfortably on the wedding date.

Stay In Shape with Bridal Corsets

A bridal corset is a constrictive undergarment that provides serious body control and should be chosen with care. There is plenty to understand about corsets before investing in one. It must be professionally designed to ensure it matches the wedding dress and properly fits under it. This is important as it will help the bridal corset be both effective and, if the bride is lucky, comfortable. Understanding how a corset works with a wedding gown and finding out about its intricacies about its construction and variations hugely helps women to choose a corset that works under their wedding dress and satisfies their personal needs.

There are two types of corsets that women find at their disposal: the underbust corset, which extends only till the upper rib cage of the wearer and does not cover the bust, and the overbust corset, which starts at the hip and provides support to the bust region too. The underbust bridal corset is preferred by women who want to tone the midsection, i.e. the waist, stomach and abdomen. These can be worn even by plus sized women as they do not force the bust into uncomfortable positions and can be clubbed with a separate bra. On the other hand, women with smaller bust sizes prefer the overbust corset. The sizes start at XS and go on till 6X, and sometimes higher.

The sheer variety available in the market ensures that every woman can find a corset that matches her wedding dress.
