The perfect wedding dress needs perfectly supportive underpinnings. We turned to intimates expert Jenny Altman<\/a>\u00a0for a bridal underwear and bra-shopping cheat sheet. Read on for guidance on what to wear under your dream dress.<\/em><\/p>\n

Wedding<\/a> season is upon us! And while you are so busy picking out your dress<\/a>, shoes<\/a>, jewelry<\/a>, and everything else, don\u2019t forget that what goes on under<\/em> the dress is also important.<\/p>\n

Expert tip: don\u2019t leave underpinnings for the last minute. Have a few options for bras, underwear, and shapewear on hand as soon as possible. Each time you try on your wedding dress (or get it altered), wear those garments to make sure they are the perfect fit and match for the dress. You don\u2019t want undies that show through or a bra<\/a> that peeks out the top!<\/p>\n

Here are my favorite bridal<\/a> silhouettes, plus must-have underpinnings<\/a> to match:<\/p>\n

The Plunge Front Wedding Dress:<\/h2>\n
\n
\"\"<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Click to shop<\/i>
\nA deep v-neck is a great way to show off your assets, but you\u2019ll need a bra that supports without peeking out of the dress in the front. This bustier<\/a> is low enough in the front and supports from the waistline for extra lift.<\/p>\n

The Backless Wedding Dress:<\/h2>\n
\n
\"\"<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Click to shop<\/i>
\nIf your backless wedding dress poses a problem as in, you need a bra, try an adhesive bra. This bra<\/a> gives you full coverage in the front with supportive side straps, while letting the back of your dress<\/a> show all the skin. Pro tip: do not put any lotion, deodorant, powder, etc where the adhesive portion of the bra touches your skin. It will lose its adhesion if it can\u2019t get a solid stick. You don\u2019t want your bra slipping down during the big night!<\/p>\n

The Backless, Deep-V Wedding Dress:<\/h2>\n
\n
\"\"<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Click to shop<\/i>
\nWhen your gorgeous gown can\u2019t hide a bra in front or back, but you definitely need nipple coverage: Nipple concealers<\/a> give you just enough coverage without taking anything away from a plunge front, backless bridal dress.<\/p>\n

The Strapless Wedding Dress:<\/h2>\n
\n
\"\"<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Click to shop<\/i>
\nA strapless dress<\/a> is always in style and so is a strapless bra–it’s a must have in every girl\u2019s bra wardrobe. Choose nude and go wireless for comfort and support (yes, a bra can do both at once). This bra<\/a> stays put even after dancing and goes up to size 38DD.<\/p>\n

The Bandeau Wedding Dress:<\/h2>\n
\n
\"\"<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Click to shop<\/i>
\nWhen your bra needs to match the dress<\/a> in just the right spots, go bandeau. This bra<\/a> in nude will completely disappear under this lacy number.<\/p>\n

The Column Dress:<\/h2>\n
\n
\"\"<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Click to shop<\/i>
\nDresses that are clingy are not always forgiving and you don\u2019t want any lumps or bumps to distract from your bridal look–not even from the bra band or underwear band. Try a one-piece bra and smoother in one. This strapless shaping slip<\/a> will work under the clingiest of dresses and you\u2019ll be happy you have it for every black tie event down the road.<\/p>\n

Something Blue:<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Every bride needs a little something blue, so why not make it your undies? This\u00a0thong<\/a>, in seaglass, is light as air and hides under everything, so it’s a 2-in-1 purchase!<\/p>\n
