Choosing the perfect bridal lingerie has never been easier, with a very feminine selection of underwear designs suited to all figures and every style of gown.

Undergarments are the essential foundation of your outfit and can substantially alter the way your gown looks and fits. The last thing you want to spoil your day is bulges and lines spoiling your silhouette.

Buy the dress and then the lingerie but preferably try both on together to make sure you make your final choice.

Professional fitting is generally recommended for your wedding lingerie as you'll want to look pretty but comfort should be considered too. Your bra needs to be supportive but comfortable without wires poking into you. There's much variety, depending on your dress and figure, with seamless, strapless and long-line bras.

A strapless dress might require a bustier or torselette to uplift the breasts. A dress with a plunging neckline might call for an adhesive bra which has no straps or back, stays on for hours and is supportive and comfortable.

Slimming undergarments and one piece body shapers work wonders in smoothing silhouettes and can be worn for hours without discomfort. Panties should be comfortable but you need to avoid unsightly bulges or you could wear panty hose with built in underwear or a G-string.

For the evening there are some gorgeous sexy pieces to slip into to impress your new husband.
