Undergarments

Which undergarments did you wear to try on dresses in?

My first appointment I just wore underwear. They gave me a slip. I was so uncomfortable. I feel like I need to wear full Spanx or at least some high waisted compression underwear to my appointment tomorrow. Also, my stomach is kind of awful from having a child. I do not have the good skin elasticity genes..and I think I need something to hold it in. I also think it would help the way I feel in dresses. I'm a baggy clothes all the time type of girl. I don't like blmy body. If my pants aren't loose enough to pull off without unzipping, they're too small.

Thanks in advance.

    I wore compression underwear and a slip. I also have a tummy issue and I wanted to get the best idea of what would look good the day of. You can get slips that are more like nylon shorts if you're not into wearing a skirt slip.

    I wore spanx and a strapless bra as that seemed to be the advice in the bridal mags I read. I felt more comfortable in the spanx that I would have in my normal underwear as they covered more as well ssmoothing, which helps when you have assistants getting you in and out of gowns!

    I'll have to check some out. I'm not a fan of skirt slips. Thank you!

    Right. I think I would have felt better in Spanx in front of someone who was putting dresses on and taking them off of me. Which..i didn't think of until I showed up to my first appointment. Thank you!

    Oh me either! I like the short type slips when I'm wearing dresses. Makes me feel 100% covered.

    I wore a strapless bra that didn't fit great, but once I got to David's bridal they had better fitting ones. I had to use a bra extender because the girls are there and needed to be reigned in lol

    I loathe strapless bras. I'm not sure what I will end up doing for my boobs.
