Frequently Asked Questions About Bridal Lingerie
A bridal trousseau is a collection of possessions, such as clothing, jewelry, and linens, that a bride assembles to prepare for her wedding day and for marriage. A bridal trousseau can be so much more than just the lingerie set you plan to wear on your wedding night.
Seamless cotton or flat lace underwear will work well underneath sheath dresses, but make sure you try them on together to ensure they truly are seamless. You may also consider wearing boyshorts or an undergarment that goes down to your knees to make everything look a bit smoother.
This is totally your own choice. You don't really have to wear a bra under your dress because It depends on the type of dress you are wearing. Many dresses come with a corset or a bra built into them, meaning a bra would be pretty redundant in that case. Your body type is also important.
So a thong is a must during your wedding dress try on, but make it one that is high waisted well going one better with a seamless, skin tone or flesh color as to prevent the possibility of underwear being visible under the dress material.
A supportive pair of briefs makes for excellent wedding night underwear for the groom. They're snug, stylish, and ever so slightly revealing. This pair is also extra breathable, meaning you should still feel fresh after all-day wear. A sleek pair of designer trunks will look good at any time of the day.

Kiss Kill Wedding Lingerie Shop Melbourne
Melbourne
0394985278
Kisskill intends to define the difference between underwear and lingerie.
Kisskill is a Melbourne boutique label specialising in lingerie.
It conjures up a sense of intrigue and mystery surrounding what lies beneath, leaving a woman feeling confident and empowered. Kisskill is designed and founded by Jane Carrodus who represents the essence of Kisskill.
With over eight years in product development and design working for reputable brands such as Peter Alexander and Bellechasse, Jane has a passion for designing feminine pieces, with a love for quality fabrics and a penchant for taking a risk. Risk taking is the very essence of the brand itself and what led Jane to launching her first luxury fashion label, Kisskill, in January 2013.
Kisskill is a metamorphous of two concepts. Kiss represents the feminine side of a woman’s personality and sexuality and embracing the soft side of being a woman. Kill references the allure of a woman; the strong, independent and dominant side. She has a killer instinct she uses to empower herself and create an air of mystery to her personality. She wants to be loved but also desired as a sexual being. She is comfortable with her sexuality and who she is behind closed doors. Kill represents her use of sexuality to conjure an emotion leading to ultimately, killer sex appeal.
With bras, underwear, slips and robes in nude, black hues and rose gold hardware featuring the finest lace, silk and animal print, Kisskill’s first range simply titled ‘Licence to kill’ creates alluring, charming and beautiful pieces enticing customers wanting something captivating and glamorous.
It is lingerie that will be sure to leave everybody wanting more…

Brava Wedding Lingerie Shop Melbourne
Melbourne
0394985253
It’s helping D cup & up women to like what they see in the mirror that we’re most passionate about.
Lin Windram and her daughter Maxine dreamed of being able to buy attractive and supportive bras. A basic desire to wear pretty, feminine bras had eluded them for years because they were seeking bras bigger than D cup.
Sick of being forced into minimiser bras and finding no swimwear that supported them, Lin and Maxine created a new story for fuller busted women. After all, women with busts larger than a C cup needed a better deal!
And so, in 2006, Brava was born. Lin and Maxine were dedicated to dramatically improving the shopping experience for women D cup and up, and the key ingredients of the Brava recipe were carefully combined to create a new experience:
- The best lingerie and swimwear brands specifically developed for the fuller bust
- Friendly, sensitive and passionate
- Bra Fitters who love lingerie and working with women
- Relaxed and comfortable store settings where women felt they belonged
Tips on Choosing the Best Wedding Lingerie
You’ve been dreaming about your wedding day look since you were little, right? You probably think you’ve got everything narrowed down, but there’s one aspect you might have forgotten—what to wear on your wedding night! There are lots of options, from planning ahead by slipping bridal lingerie into your overnight bag to choosing pretty wedding undergarments for under your gown. We’ve compiled some of our favorite tips to help get you started!
Scary but true: The wrong wedding lingerie can totally ruin the look of your gorgeous wedding gown. Shopping for bras and undergarments might not be as exciting as finding your dream dress, but don't overlook the importance of these foundation pieces. (They're called that for a reason!) Stakes are high when it comes to bridal fashion; the last thing you want is any visible straps, lumps, or lines.
To help you find the right fit, we tapped the expert mind of Claire Chambers, CEO of lingerie boutique Journelle, on how, when, and what to buy.
Whenever you read about wedding dress fittings with your bridal party or family, the shop attendants will always tell you to wear the lingerie or undergarments to the fitting that you plan to wear with your wedding dress. But, how are you supposed to know what to bridal lingerie to choose? There are some simple tips that will help you choose the perfect bridal lingerie.
When to Shop
"Use your first dress fitting as a chance to learn what kind of lingerie works best," Chambers says. "Resist the urge to buy before that point. You'll learn a lot more about what type of foundation garments you need once you see the dress on your body and know what alterations need to be made."
Then, call the lingerie store and make an appointment. "Most stores will be happy to set aside time to devote to you and can be better prepared (and stocked) if they know in advance that you're coming," Chambers says. Also, don't forget to take a few images of your dress to show your fitter. It's not necessary to bring your actual dress in person.
One thing to know is that last-minute weight changes can really affect the fit of your bra. "Pay attention if you find yourself losing weight before the big day, and get refitted if necessary," Chambers says. "Your lingerie store may also be able to make some alterations to your bra, but don't leave it to the last minute."
Invisibility
While choosing your wedding dress, always consider underwear and if it is going to be possible to achieve an invisible look. Dresses are often smooth and sheer so discuss this with your designer or bridal boutique at the trying-on stage.
Hiding Imperfections
If you’re wearing a dress that shows your curves but you want to hide imperfections, you’re going to want to go with a control type lingerie. Typically, this is a snug sort of lingerie that hides any extra pounds that you don’t want to show in your wedding dress.
Don’t Procrastinate
Don’t put off purchasing your wedding undergarments until the last minute. We recommend finishing your bridal accessories shopping before your first fitting. An even better idea, if you’re particularly set on a type of lingerie or undergarment (or shoes or other accessory, for that matter), is to wear it while shopping for your dress.
Keep It Smooth
Many bridal gowns, especially sheath silhouettes, will require wedding undergarments that are smooth and seamless, like a slip. Pay attention to whether ribbons, lace, or adornments are going to create bumps under your gown and then avoid those styles.
Be Prepared
Buy an extra pair of stockings or hosiery for the emergency kit. You don’t need us to tell you those little buggers snag at the worst moments!
Have Fun
Possibly the most important tip to remember is to ENJOY shopping for your wedding! Whether it’s your dream dress, deciding what to wear on your wedding night, or another aspect of your celebration, never forget that you’re supposed to be CELEBRATING! Let yourself have fun with it!
Other Tips
When you know the style of dress you want to wear, you can then determine the sort of undergarments and bridal lingerie you need. This HerRoom infographic will help you determine exactly the sort of bridal lingerie that will work best for the type of dress you’ve chosen.
