The White & Gold Bridal Underwear Bible

The White & Gold Bridal Underwear Bible

So you’ve found THE dress, congratulations! What an exciting time. A few jobs later on your checklist and you hit underwear! An easy one to forget but believe us when we say, the right underwear will make your bridal look and will have you feeling amazing in your dream TW&G dress. We can confidently put our hands up and say we are experts on all things bridal style, underwear being one of them. Let's get down to it!

You will find so many different bra/underwear sets and bodysuits on the market for your special day. This can make the selection confusing. Lucky for you we’ve tried a lot of them and know what works with our White & Gold dresses.

Regardless of whether you’re wearing a backless dress or a skirt and crop top combo there is an underwear solution for your perfect look.

We always recommend our brides wear nude seamless underwear. Believe it or not, white underwear is not your friend and is likely to show under your dress!

For a super smooth, sleek, drop-dead gorgeous look we suggest shape wear underwear. Not only does this provide smoothing and support but it will help your dress fall with ease. Choose light shapewear, it's a long day and your dress is going to fit you beautifully- you do not need to be compressed like a mummy underneath your buttery soft silk dress. Avoid stitched waistband seams like the plague!

For the bottom half - we recommend high waisted nude seamless shorts that hit you at your waist and not below - anything lower can give you a tummy above the band. Always order your size or size up- never drop a size as they will dip in and start rolling down. This mid height short hits at the mid/ lower thigh with no seam on the thigh so it blends in undetected underneath your dress. Extra compression along the back thighs offers a lifted look (who doesn't love a little lift!). Its buttery material provides a smooth base for your dress to skim over. Comfort, sculpting and smoothing? Yes please! If your dress has a low back then we recommend these bad boys- same as above but with a lower back. 


For the bust - there are many options for a bust underwear solution and it completely depends on the style of your dress. We’ve put together a little selection of pieces we’ve put to the test to suit different dress styles. Sometimes your alterations will be able to stitch in nude foam cups. These are extra handy if you wish to create the illusion of a fuller bust.

If you have chosen a strapless dress and feel puzzled about a bra solution, panic no more. No straps? No problem. Sometimes the perfect nipple sticker is enough. These are also great if your dress is a very light silk slip.
Introducing..... Nippies Nipple Stickers!

We have tried and loved the Nippies  by B-6! These beauties strip
things back to the bare(ly there) essentials. Silicone, invisifeel perfection (matte, to survive camera lights) giving the smoothest coverage possible, and they’re gently rounded to blend into your skin. And ladies, most importantly.. . they stay on. If you're looking for a little lift on top of perfect coverage, Nippies offer a range of nipple adhesives with an additional lift. We are big fans!

An elegant backless number has to be one of our favourite styles in TW&G! We understand how a backless/low back feature could lead you to believe a bra just isn't possible. But guess what, it absolutely is! 

We also recommend the wonderful Nippies range to support your bust in a backless beauty. In addition to this we love telling our brides about THE number one bodysuit solution to your backless/low back dress. A sleek and smooth low back solution for any low back outfit with micro-fiber cups that provide support. Bust support check, backless check, booty support check! It is worth noting that a body suit with a lower button opening comes in very handy... unless you want to do a full strip for every bathroom break!

High slit: The higher the better, TW&G brides love a good slit... basically any excuse to show off their Loeffler Randall shoes! We have found the perfect high waisted, nude, slit proof seamless shorts. This beauty is available with either right or left leg out. Also, you can also ask your alterations to just chop a leg off your underwear on the side your slit is on. Usually the left hand side is where designers add a slit- as someone is walking you up your aisle on your RHS! 

We love recommending these pieces to our brides once they have picked their dress and we only ever hear positive feedback! Always remember, no matter what style your dress is, there is a perfect underwear solution for it that will make you feel fabulous on your wedding day. Also, a lot of underwear can not be returned so it's worth waiting to collect your dress and checking where the back hits you before you decide on what pieces you might need.
