weird question about dress fittings

manda311

I am finally going to go out and look at dresses for the first time tonight! I can't say that I am really excited, lol. But I know that I have to start and hopefully once I try the first one on I'll start feeling the excitement more. I am more nervous than anything becuz this bridal shop has had tons of bad reviews/horror stories posted online. But it's the only shop around me that has the dress I fell in love with online actually in their store. Anyways, my question is...what do I wear underneath to go try dresses on? I don't really own any body suits or whatever, just regular bra's and undies. Is that ok to wear? Sorry if this is a stupid question, I just have no idea and am a natural worrywart/nervous wreck...lol

I wore regular bra and panties.  However, I wish I had worn my suck me in underwear and  a Strapless bra.  I did end up just taking my bra off at one point because it was easier to get an idea.

Just nice undies that cover you, lol.  I wore no bra the whole time because I know I won't wear one that day.

Just wear a nice pair of undies (I would avoid a thong unless you want to show your butt cheeks to whoever's helping you get dressed) and a strapless bra if you have one. Otherwise just wear a regular. All of the shops I went to had bustiers for you to wear while trying dresses on.Have fun! Make sure you drink water and have some food in your stomach before you go.

Wear granny panties.  I didn't on my first trip out and felt a little "exposed".  Also very important, wear a low back strapless bra or bustier.  If you don't have one, then at least a regular strapless.  Have a great time!

Phew, I feel a lot better. I thought I'd have to go out and buy something special to wear underneath. Thanks girls, you are the best!!

I agree with pps - I hate to wear strapless bras, but know that I needed to have something on when I tried on the dresses - so I made my Mom carry it in her purse (I carry a very small purse!).  Two of the three places offered bustiers, so I would just bring something just in case.   And definitely full coverage undies.  I tried on some dresses where you could *see*  my undies, but you are looking more to the fit, feel, etc. than whether or not you have panty lines.
