Undergarment question!!

I read on a post (in Budget Wedding I think) something about DB making you try on with a corset-bra thingie (what's that called?).

've worn quite a few formal gowns in my day, and never wore a bra/corset-thingie. I was not planning on wearing one with my bridal gown either. I'm a 34C and it's never been a problem

Am I mistaken? Am I supposed to wear the bra-corset underneath? Do places expect that?

Help! :(

    I tried on my dresses with a regular strapless bra, I am however wearing a strapless longline bra (I think that is the corset-bra thing you are referring too) on my wedding day.

    Yah I'm wearing a Satin Torsolette from davids bridal. The associate who helped me find my dress put me in that and I loved it. I would recommend wearing something

    I tried dresses with a reg. bra or without anything -- Find what's comfortable you'll be in it a long time.  I've since tried several different strapless bras and bodysuits etc in trying to find one that looks great with my dress and feels comfortable.

    i'm wearing a long line bra with my dress.
    but mine is pretty heave, and without the support it would drag down.
    i think its just a matter of preference.

    Yea, david's bridal has you wear the corset to try on.  Other shops give you the option and one I went to didn't have them and didn't let anybody else in the dressing room, so the consultant saw you topless which I thought was kind of uncomfortable.  I brought a beige strapless bra with me for shopping but I don't think I ever used it.
     
    I liked the corset/long bra thing.  The dress I picked doesn't really require a bra at all b/c the top is very stiff but i'm going to wear a corset anyway b/c I love the 'sucked in' feel that it gives you.  I feel like it will keep me sitting up straight all day and make my waist look a little bit tinier.

    You definitely don't have to wear a longline bra. I'm not! The only thing is that a longline bra will "slim" you and give a more hour glass shape. But go with what is comfortable for you :)
