    You're supposed to wear the underwear you will be wearing on the day to get a better fitting of your dress :-)

    hehehe don't frighten me like that Tiggs :P
    If you've got your wedding undies then I'd wear them - you'll get an accurate picture of how your dress will fit on the day then.

    When my aunty got her wedding dress she had such a trauma finding knickers that didn't show through (clingy dress) and as a flip comment I said "Couldn't you just go commando"
    Well.........the lecture I got almost melted my ears hehehe :P

    It's right what they say
    "The course of true love never runs smoothly"
    But if it had been easy then we wouldn't love each other as
    much as we do right now - 1 week to go :D

    OK, I'm going to be a bloke here.

    As a wedding photographer I see girls who are continually doing the "bridal tug" - pulling up the top of the wedding dress.

    When I was talking to a dress designer about this she says it's simple - the dress does not fit properly if the bride needs to pull it up.

    You need to make sure the dress is tight and sitting on the hips/waist. The bust is NOT what holds the dress up.

    Apparently what a lot of less-skilled jobs do is strap you in tight around the bust on the fitting, so you feel good and secure - but this doesn't mean it fits.

    Actually your bust almost ought to be loose within the dress (albeit shaped etc).

    Hope that makes sense.

    Hi Tigg when i do bridal fittings at the shop 9 times out of 10 girls look better and feel better with no bra.... that seems really silly but some strapless bras actually dont help what so ever- some bras even push the chest down sitting it in the wrong placeor push them up under the chin, it needs to look natural, whereas with no bra, with the help of the dress they can sit naturally being held in supportively and in the right place-

    It might be worth a try with and without - although it does depend on the type of dress like someone mentioned above the dress isnt relient and staying up by the bust it is the hips.

    i hope this has helped, x x

    I've been told to wear a strapless bra and I only have Cs (so not overlarge) .... so I think it depends on the dressmaker!
