We wear underwear each and every day, so it’s easy to understand that many brides feel as if they already know which lingerie is going to work for them. But, then again, you don’t wear a wedding dress every day, do you? Rigby’s advise? “Enlist some expert help. There are so many options that exist that a bride might not think or even know of! At The Pantry Underwear, we host bridal underwear fittings in person and virtually, which offer a range of solutions to form the foundations for an outfit. These specialist products almost always have variable sizing because they are constructed differently to typical underwear products, so our product and fit specialists can help to navigate sizing and make fit adjustments. Fit and comfort should be your priority—if you’re already feeling uneasy in the underwear at the try-on stage, just think how you’ll feel three hours in on the day that it matters most on. Try and keep and open mind and be willing to compromise—different bust sizes present different challenges, but it’s nothing we can’t sort together.”
Although many wedding dresses are crafted with built-in lingerie and support, Rigby advises you still explore all your underwear options. “Unless you are going for the braless look, wear a bra or lift solution to offer the shape and support you are looking for. Most dresses with bras built-in won’t offer adequate support for wearing all day and night, and, of course, for dancing to the small hours in. Built-in cups can move with the dress through the day, rather than with you, and therefore the breast tissue can become dislodged and misshapen.”
