So you’ve found your dream gown and it’s time for your fitting. Having proper undergarments is essential and will provide the foundation for a flattering fit. It’s important to have these undergarments with you at the time of your first fitting or plan to purchase them at that time. You want to have your bust sit high in your wedding gown; this will narrow the rib cage and waist area. There are many options to choose from when it comes to bras.
Long line bras come to either the natural waist or as far down as the top of your high hip bone. Some long line bras have vertical boning that compress the midriff. The type of fabric your gown is made out of will dictate whether or not you will be able to choose a bra with vertical boning. Depending on your natural cup size you may want to add extra definition to your bust. Some bras offer an area for cotton or gel pads to enhance your assets.
There are also many slimming intimates, body shapers, and hosiery options on the market. One of our favorites that we sell here at Bridal Reflections is Spanx. Spanx products offer extra support and compression for a slimming fit.
