    Hi Ladies,

    i was wondering like the topic says what kind of lingerie or so you are wearing underneath your dress?
    Or is there anything special your surprising your h2b with??
    Would be lovely to share some ideas and things others do!
    Hope that isnt inappropriate to ask!
    (haven't decided yet as I want something really special but its so hard to find something)

    I don't know as yet as the dress won't need a bra or anything. Seen a beautiful satin chemise that I would like to slip into once we r alone lol even if it is only to sleep in. x

    oh thats lucky if u wont need any bra or feel confident without it :) ... i remember I have seen lovely underwear/lingerie 2,5years back in victoria secrets in NY but to fly over there the extra cash is missing ... but at least bought white hold up stockings there which I will be wearing than for the 1st time ever :) but apart from that still not a clue... :)
    so I think u should get at least your chemise if you think h2b would be really loving it as well as you do :)

    I wore a silk balconette bra and matching "shorts" under my dress ... I did buy a satin & lace chemise to put on later, but never got round to it! So I saved it for the honeymoon, where it was very well received!

    I had this question a few months back, the dress shop said I had to make a decsion, so I have decided not to wear anything, well undies of course!!!! Dont think ill bother with anything to special for later in the evening!! maybe the night after, when the drinks arent flowing as much. W ehave to boys and are having 2 nights in a hitel, we live in new zeland but are getting married in the uk, so its like a full honeymoon, so waiting anothe r night wont matter hahahahaha

    Neither me or my OH really drink so I'm guessing we'll both be quite sober on the big night!
    I haven't found what I want to wear under the dress yet though, still looking!

    Havent even though about it yet as I am a dificult size to buy for. thought about one of those hold you in push you ups but decided against it as thought that it might not look seXXXy. My mum has been suggesting a few things !!!!! and kept saying you want to look good when you take your dress off, this made me blush as she said it realy load in front off everyone in n the shop xx

    I have purchased myself a waist training corset for the run up to the day, just to get used to the feel and nip in my waist a little then I'm going to buy another waist trainer but something a little more va va voom for the day (and the night ;p) and french knickers all the way just for that added boost to my confidence.

    I don't need a bra with my dress and I'm not wearing stockings or anything - so I'll just have knickers and garter. Tbh though I'm going for comfort more than something for my h2b - so it's definitely Bridget Jones pants lol. Will probably buy something for him for the honeymoon ;-)

    I've just ordered myself a corset in beige and cream - odd colours, but it looks really pretty on the site - and will probably sort myself out with some pretty cream french knickers to go with :)

    I've got a longling bra from Gossard and matching shorts. However that's more for reining in the back flab despite it being a really lovely set. And a garter for tradition.
    Once the wedding is over, we're going to be too tired for anything (I will have been up since 7am at least) and will probably collapse in a dribbling heap, haha.

    I'll probably end up saving it for the honeymoon, especially since the Gossard set is inspired by French fashion. Also saved for the honeymoon are previous options for wedding lingerie- a white steel boned corset (which looks better as a top really) and a black/cerise basque.

    Well the corset came in the post today - earlier than expected so was pleased with that. It feels lovely, is very pretty and wasn't too constrictive. However I will have to send it back - I ordered it in a XL - which matches to the size 14 - and had to fasten it as tight as possible for it to fit nicely and considering that I'm still trying to lose some weight, I think I will need the next size down! Not their fault really, and I think the L - or 12 - should be fine since it does have a decent modesty panel in the back as well. Oh - and the "beige" is definitely more of a skin tone/peach colour!

    Sammy - it came from the amazonian site with free delivery :)

    i've seen some on bay of e that look really nice which i'm buying for the wedding night / honeymoon but i think under my dress it'll be something simple but elegant. not see through though as my BM's and mother are helping me into the dress and no-one wants to see that!

    It's not that bad really, the return is really easy, and free! Just had to print out the label and re-package it ready to take down to the post office tomorrow. Refund will be with me in 5-7 days and then I just re-buy it in the next size down :) The only thing I didn't like was the matching thong lol

    I'm having a red silk corset made by my dressmaker with quite an extreme curve on the waist. I'm also going to wear a six-strap suspender belt (a proper one, not one of the wee "lingerie belts" that don't hold anything up), a pair of silk satin knickers, fully fashioned stockings (probably from Gio) and a blue silk satin and ivory lace garter that I made myself.

    It's not really a surprise for Grant as I wear corsets, stockings and suspenders on a fairly regular basis (stockings and suspenders most days, to be honest) but I know he'll love it.

    I find a good suspender belt and a pair of stockings is usually more comfortable than hold-ups. I occasionally wear the pretty "lingerie" belts and I constantly worry that my stockings are going to fall down and the clips ping off.

    Stockings HQ, Kiss Me Deadly, Cervin, Rago and What Katie Did all do good belts (six straps with decent clips), other brands can be ropey. Some Agent Provocateur belts are decent but they're WAY overpriced (even in the sale).

    Stockings-wise I'd highly recommend Gio fully fashioned or RHTs for sheer retro glamour. For day to day I wear Aristoc Ultra-Shine, Marks and Spencers (all of theirs are good) or even Primark (which are pretty but very small on the thigh). Agent Provocateur stockings largely come from a French company called Cervin and can be bought elsewhere at less than half the price.

    You wouldn't wear suspenders with hold-ups, but I have to say that I've generally found that stockings (by which I mean not hold-ups) and suspenders are more reliable and get much more of a "WOW" response from men.

    Just to be aware, most department store suspender belts are absolute rubbish (even the expensive ones). I've only ever found retro-style belts comfortable for a full day.
