Brides- points to consider

Are the garments required for the first, second, third dress fitting- be sure to ask your dress supplier

Leave yourself time to consider the underwear- there is a vast selection to explore much of which might be unsuitable for your body shape

Don't guess your size- seek advice, don't be embarrassed, get fitted correctly

Remember that your specialist lingerie store may have to order especially for you and that could take a few days

Have a good idea of your dress style, for example how low is the neckline?

Consider the back of the dress- is the back lower than normal bra level?

Would a strapless style be preferable?

Be realistic- not all styles will suit you and not all will be made in your size

Does the dress have a corseted top- is a bra really necessary?

Is the dress plain or beaded- will lace bubble through the material?

How heavy is the material- will bones in a basque show through- would a body be more suitable?

Will suspenders show through the skirt when you sit down- think perfection for the photos

Remember that you will have to wear the garments for several hours if not all day and perhaps into the evening. Go for comfort- don't buy just because the undies are pretty and sexy

If you money allows, buy two pairs of briefs or a thong and brief to match your bra or basque. Also buy two pairs of stockings or tights. Accidents do happen!

If you need to trim an inch don't be afraid to go traditional- there are plenty of figure controlling garments which will flatten the tummy or trim the hips

Choose carefully and you will enjoy wearing your bridal underwear time and time again

Lastly- choose your set to complement your dress and not compete with it
