Bridal lingerie has two jobs: look right on the night and work under the dress. They are rarely the same piece, so plan both before the wedding.
Under the dress
Choose by the neckline and the back. A backless dress needs a backless solution; a low back needs a low-back bra; a sheer dress needs a smooth slip. Test the piece with the dress, not on its own. See what to wear under a backless dress and under a white dress.
Wedding night
A babydoll, a slip or a lace set all work; choose the one you will actually wear. If you want a keepsake, a lace set photographs well; if you want comfort, a satin slip is easier. Browse babydolls and lace sets.
Honeymoon packing
Pack one set for the evening, one slip for the morning and one swim cover-up. Keep the fabrics light and the colours coordinated. More in honeymoon lingerie.
What to wear when
| Moment | Piece | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Under the dress | Backless or low-back solution | Match the neckline and back |
| Wedding night | Lace set or babydoll | Choose what you will wear |
| Honeymoon | Slip + one set | Light fabrics, coordinated colours |
Sizing
Order early enough to try the piece with the dress. If you are between sizes, take the larger for fitted styles. See the fit guide.
