Shapewear for Brides

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.

Shapewear for brides 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.

Shapewear for brides 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.
