The more gown options you're going to consider, the better it will be to think about what underwear you should be wearing for the fitting and your wedding day. Be sure to reach out to your friends for advice and opinions, especially if you’re having a difficult time making choices.

Generally speaking, it's best that the undergarments closely match your skin tone. That's in case the dress of your dreams happens to be made of thinner material that could allow color to show through. You'll want to consider seamless underwear to ensure a smooth look. Otherwise, you risk showing panty lines – especially with the more form-fitting styles of wedding gown. Boyshorts, thongs, bikinis, and similar garments work best.

If you're thinking of wearing shapewear on your special day, be sure to bring it with you to the fitting. The ones that work best with a variety of gown types are those that are thin and fit you from below the chest to mid-calf. High Power Capri by Spanx is a good example.

Bras don't work with most wedding dresses. Modern bridal gowns have cups sewn into them. However, they don't always provide sufficient support for brides with larger chests - so if you're in doubt, it's best to consult with an undergarment specialist to find the right option. It's fine to wear a convertible or strapless bra as you try on different types of dress and make your decision later regarding the wedding itself.

It's been said that changing into and out of wedding gowns can feel like a real workout, so be sure to dress comfortably in clothes that can easily be removed and put back on. This will be a day you'll remember forever, and we want to make sure it goes as smoothly as possible for you.
