Undergarments!

schellzinator · August 2013

Good Morning!! So...I have my first fitting on August 27. At this fitting I need to bring the undergarments I'm wearing - which I haven't bought yet. Did you guys just guesstimate with what garments and then return them if they didn't fit? Or did you bring your dress to the undergarment store to try them on....

What do you mean, don't fit? My dress isn't a low back, it's just a strapless dress. If your dress has a unique back or lines, I'd bring a picture of it with you to the store.

I haven't bought panties yet, but I bought the long-line bra when I bought the gown, and my mom's made me a crinoline which I'm wearing, so I took that with me too. And my shoes. And my veil.

Which reminds me, I have another fitting Friday. I need to work on my veil.

I am wearing VS undies, and they are putting cups in for me because my gown is lace so I do not want any long lined bra showing, which is what my seamstress said could happen! I wore undies that are exactly like the ones I am wearing the day of (don't want to wear them until that day!) and it was fine

I'm having cups sewn in as well. I don't want to wear a bra the day of - I don't think it would be comfortable at all. Are you sure you need special undergarments at all?

I wore a regular bra and panties to my first fitting and we determined I don't need to wear a bra in the dress. If you know you'll need something extra, get it, but I wouldn't if it's your first fitting and you aren't sure.

I bought the stuff and brought it to the salon for my fitting

When I went and got my long line bra I told the lady at the store how low my dress went in the front and back. And the one they gave me was perfect. definitely take the bra your gonna wear to the fitting, and similar undies too.

rustytammy · August 2013

I am having cups sewn in as well but have to have a bra as well. :-( Definitely didn't' want that!! However, thanks to my plastic surgeon all those years ago, leaving me with "dog ears" after my reduction I have to wear a bra. I didn't take a strapless bra with me, again because I planned on not wearing one, so I had to use my regular one for the fitting. Make sure you have what you want with you!!!

I guesstimated and it worked out really well! My MOH/best friend had cups sewn in and she didn't like how unsupportive they ended up being, so I went to Nordstrom and got a strapless bra (not longline) and some spanx, and they worked great at my first fitting!

DISCLAIMER: I realized my post was confusing. If I buy undies - I will NOT be returning them

.

My dress is a halter and my ladies are on the larger size. As a result, I will be wearing some type of bra - but I'm not sure which kind (needs to go low enough in the back)

My seamstress is not associated to a store. I got my dress at David's and I should have just taken the extra 10 minutes to figure out what bra and spanx (if any) I needed...but I was in a rush and didn't feel like it. So I'm trying to figure out figuring out if the bra strap will be low enough in the back. So I will bring a picture!!! I was envisioning myself schlepping the dress all over to find a bra

Thanks everyone!

i am having cups sewn in as i have a lace dress, and as for undies i will probably just buy a nice new pair of nude ones from VS to wear day of.

[Deleted User] · August 2013

I have my Spanx and cups sewn into my dress. I haven't decided what undies I'll wear under my Spanx because even though I will be the only one ever wearing them, not wearing underwear weirds me out.

I am really having a hard time finding a strapless bra/corset to wear.

I went to Macys, Nordstroms, and Victorias, not a single store really carries corset's in stock. So I went online and ordered 4 different styles in a couple different sizes in some. I got 6 total, not a single one fit well. I have large "girls" as well. I just placed a second order last night of 5 strapless bra's and 2 more corsets. I really hope that something fits well in this second order. My cc bill is going to be so high until I make time to return all of these.

hardlyhannah · August 2013

@rhawndas - are there any specialty lingerie stores in your area where you can go get measured? Then you wouldn't have to mess around with all the returns and stuff!

That's where I ended up getting my long line bra - at a specialty store. They measured me and told me I have been wearing the wrong bra size for quite some time (I thought I was 34B, guess what - 36C! Waaaay off).

rkbo · August 2013

@hardlyhannah Yes, I actually did. I have bought many regular bra's from there, but was really unhappy with their corset selection. They only gave me 2 to try on and they just were not a good fit. Then instead of asking for strapless bra's I got sidetracked and saw the pretty swimsuits and then $300 flew out the window. LOL

When I first went to them, I was wearing 38DD from VS, they put me in a 36H..oiy

simplykayla · August 2013

I hadn't bought any of my undergarments for my first fitting, because I had no idea what to get and my seamstress offered to give me suggestions based on my dress. When I met with her she recommended sewing in cups instead of a bra, and underwear that covers the thighs a little to prevent chaffing. Because I didn't have my undergarments yet she wasn't able to take my measurements that day, so it ended up being more of a consultation and then I had my actual first fitting last week. We tried the cups on in the dress, and I've actually decided against them. I'm quite busty right now because I'm nursing, and the cups were pushup and I just felt like I was popping out of the dress way too much lol. But for other undergarments I'll be using Spanx.

greystreet18 · August 2013

I would bring everything with you for your fitting that you plan to wear under/with your dress. Shoes, bras, spanx, etc. They are fitting the dress so that it works well for your wedding day. It might mean having to plan ahead, but it's worth it.

I had my first fitting this past weekend and wore my shoes so that she knew where to hem the dress. Even better, I found out that I don't need to wear a bra with my dress. So excited!!!

[Deleted User] · August 2013

@hardlyhannah & @rustytammy the last time someone at VS measured me, and they told me I was a 32B. I couldn't breathe in the 32. So.... I'm sticking with my 34A, thanks.

shannie11 · August 2013

I just brought my shoes. I am also having cups put in and wearing VS undies. I think if you plan on wearing a long bra or spanks definately bring those.

hardlyhannah · August 2013

Damn boobs making life so complicated.

Is no one going panty-less?

Not me. I feel weird not wearing underwear when I'm out in public. (I've done it once. I was uncomfortable the entire time.)

totally agree, i barely wear thongs, dont get my wrong i dont wear granny panties but i just like my bum to be covered lol

rustytammy · August 2013

@lplions ~ if only I could buy at VS!!! LOL Being a bigger girl they don't carry my size. The bra I ordered online is no longer being sold so I'm back to square one on a strapless bra. LOL

Ok, guess I'm weird! Haha. During my fitting (30 min?) I realized how fricken HOT the dress was. I feel like undies will just make it worse or will be one more hassle during bathroom breaks.

I'd be scared to go commando!

Knowing my luck, big gust of wind or something else untoward happening while he's trying to remove a garter and EVERYONE's all up in my business then. YIKES!!!

Make for a good story

But seriously... I must just be weird. Underwear are usually a PITA for me. I work with sex-offenders so I don't go panty-less at work (just not a good idea in my head) but in general I find them uncomfortable

@rustytammy Do you have a Macy's near you?

http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/wacoal-bra-red-carpet-full-figure-strapless-bra-854119?ID=545410&CategoryID=55799#fn=STRAP_TYPE%3DStrapless%26sp%3D1%26spc%3D54%26ruleId%3D22%26slotId%3D1

I just ordered this bra along with a ton of other ones online, well I was killing time yesterday and decided to stop by macys to see if they had it in stock. (according to the online thing, they didn't) Not only did they have it in stock, it fit like a glove. It had really good support too. (this coming from someone with larger breasts) Looks like Macys carries it all the way up to 42DDD.

rustytammy · August 2013

@rhawndas ~ There is a Macy's nearby! I will go check them out! Thank you for the tip!

schellzinator · August 2013

I never go commando - or wear thongs. I've always just been more comfortable with the full coverage. FI always requests thongs. Maybe I'll surprise him for the wedding...
