Hands up if you think your wedding gown is one of the most important decisions you have to make about your wedding (aside from choosing to marry your husband to be, obviously!). Chances are, you've been umming and ahhing for weeks if not months about the dress you would pick. If one of the reasons for your doubts about a certain dress is down to bridal lingerie choices, then we're here to help! The good news for you is that there are tons of options to choose from, so let's get started!
Bridal Lingerie For Low Back Wedding Dress
Low back or backless wedding dresses makes our heart sing every time we set our eyes on one. There's something so sexy but elegant about baring your back and it's one of our favourite wedding dress styles. That being said, rocking a low back wedding dress can be tricky because the classic bridal lingerie styles will not do here. Instead, you have 4 options. You can go braless, rely on sewn on bra cups, stick on a backless bra or wear a backless bodysuit. Let's go through the pros and cons of each option.
Saying "No" to wearing a bra
If you're small chested and you're in the camp "I love my small boobs", going bra free can be an option.
Pros: One less thing to worry about on the day. May be liberating.
Cons: Potentially embarrassing if dress also has a low or loose neckline or if dress is made of thin or sheer materials. Not an option for bigger boobs.
Sewn in cups
Your seamstress may offer to sew in some bra cups into your dress.
Pros: One less purchase to make.
Cons: Sewn in cups are not the same as bras. They are thin and often flimsy, so do not offer much shape or any support. Also, the cups are connected to the dress. Anytime you lean forward, you could end up flashing if your dress isn't a high neckline.
Backless bodysuit
These are one piece lingerie solutions that combine bra and shape wear together.
Pros: You'd get boob support and tummy control in one piece of underwear.
Cons: Not suitable if your dress is sheer or see through in the bodice. Can be expensive. May be quite hot to wear, especially during summer.
Stick On Backless Bra
These stick on directly onto your boobs to give you lift, shape and support.
Pros: Sweat and dance proof, with no maximum hours of wear, so you can rock this all day and night. Suitable for a wide range of sizes, even for E and F bra sizes! The soft silicone moulds to your boobs to give you a natural shape. You can also go for a backless push up bra for an extra boost in cup size. Pretty bridal styles make these bridal lingerie worthy, they even come with matching lace undies. They're also reusable, so you can rock these after the wedding for summer and date nights!
Cons: Not suitable if you are 32G, 34F, 36DD, 38D, 40C and above. May not get a lot of lift if your boobs have lost a lot of elasticity. Takes a few practices to get the bra position right.
