Black Spanx under white dress?

mandctaft

Okay, so I got Spanx-type shorts for under $5 on clearance the other day and wouldn't have passed them up anyway, but I plan on wearing them under my dress. You shouldn't be able to see them right?

My dress is satin with a layer of... something under it. I'm not sure what the lining and my dress is at my grandmother's house, so I can't look. I'll be wearing a slip underneath the dress and a long line bra. I know its probably going to be a wait and see thing, but I'm just asking in your opinion.

Try it on and get someone you trust to tell you if they are visible.

If they are, then I would recommend something as close to your skintone as possible.  Keep the black spanx for the next time you wear your favorite LBD:-)

I wore black under my wedding dress. No one could see them, I would just try it on with the dress to make sure.

Until you try it on together in bright light, you won't know.  I wore nude Spanx to avoid any visible undies.

I agree with the other ladies to try it on and have someone tell you if they see anything at all in a bright light.

Ditto everyone else that you need to try them together before the wedding day to make sure.

I think you will be fine, though. I wore black bra and underwear and no one could tell.

Ditto, you will need to try it in different lighting and make sure it won't show.  You might be fine but it will be worth taking a few minutes to make sure.

I wore black underwear when I went to try on dresses.. .it could be just me, but I swear I can see black through the dress:P  My best suggestion would be nude, whatever matches your skin... it's even better than white.  But I can't say unless I've seen it, so try it on and ask someone else that's brutally honest :P

good luck!

Black should be fine if you have lots of layers or the material is thick.
