Your essential guide to dressing for wedding gown shopping to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience.
Key Points to Note
- Opt for seamless nude underwear to avoid visible lines under the dress. Consider a strapless bra or go without.
- Choose attire that's both comfortable and easy to change out of, such as athleisure or casual jeans and a t-shirt. Slip into shoes that are effortless to slip on and off, like flats or slides.
- Bring along a hair tie or clip to experiment with up-do styles.
- Bring any jewelry you plan to wear on the wedding day, but keep other accessories at home for convenience during dress fittings.
Steps to Prepare
Nude Undergarments
Ensure your undergarments complement rather than distract from the dress. While vibrant pink lace undies have their moment, it's not during your wedding dress hunt! Opt for smooth, skin-toned underwear to avoid any visible lines under the dress.
- Thongs are optimal, but seamless panties suffice!
- Consider going braless or bring along a strapless option, as many wedding dresses feature built-in support.
- If extra support or shaping is desired, nude shapewear can provide added confidence, though it's not mandatory.
Easy-to-Change Attire
Choose attire that facilitates quick changes. With multiple dress fittings ahead, opt for outfits you can easily slip in and out of, such as athleisure or casual jeans and a T-shirt, streamlining the fitting room process.
- Keep makeup minimal to avoid potential smudges during try-ons, ensuring your focus remains on the dresses rather than touch-ups.
