What to wear under a sweetheart neckline...

lyssalouandrew

I am looking for a basic IVORY undergartment just to go from my chest down to rear end, to hide my skin from showing through the lacing on the corset. I would even accept a strapless unitard....... 

I JUST CANNOT FIND IT! Help!?

I have tried Google Shopping, every single wedding website. David's bridal, etc.

Can't the seamstress add an extra panel of fabric inside your dress? Your skin definitely doesn't need to show through the corset, but that's a dress problem, not an undergarment problem.

Well, the dress isn't really the problem... the problem is that I have augmented breasts and the rest of the dress doesn't fit otherwise if I got up any further in size. I needed it in this size because of my bust. I have a pretty extreme hourglass. The undergarment is going to be used to solve said problem.

I don't mean it's a problem with the size or fit of your dress, just that the problem can be solved with your dress rather than with an undergarment. Ask your seamstress for a modesty panel - it's a triangle flap of fabric that's sewn in from the inside, behind the corset lacing, so your skin doesn't show through. That way it looks like this:

Instead of like this:

I've never seen undergarments like you're looking for in ivory, only in nude tones. But a modesty panel should be made from the same fabric as your dress.

Oh! I get what you're saying now -- thank you for the pics!

The visible skin on my dress is nothing like the one on the bottom photo, thankfully.

Much appreciated detailed advice!
