How to: Choosing Your Wedding Shapewear 4

Some More General Tips and Tricks

• Most gown aren't sheer, so you don't have to wear white or white- adjacent colours. If in doubt, always favour tan- coloured underwear over white (unless you have milky white skin to rival Michael Jackson, in which white might be a more natural- looking option). If your bodice does happen to be transparent, have some fitting cups sewn into the gown itself.

• If your bodice is not transparent, and the cut allows it, opt for a long- line bra. style extends from your bust to your waistline, similarly to a corset. It will accentuate your waist, create cleaner lines, and supports your back more than a normal bra. Many dressmakers will also sew the bra straight into your dress, saving you from the awkward tug- manoeuvre all day long.

• Don’t worry about splashing out on special shapewear unless your dress is clings to your lower half, such as a sheath, trumpet or mermaid dress.

• Remember to have someone on hand to help you get into any particularly tricky underwear on your wedding day (and hopefully taking the underwear off will be a much faster task!).
