So, let’s back track a bit, shall we? He’s gotten down on one knee. You have said, Yes and you now have your very own skating rink on your left ring finger. It’s time to get down to business and make some lists. Decide how many events you will be attending/hosting within your wedding event and begin thinking about the attire you wish to wear to each. Now Stop! You need to prepare yourself with the right foundations! It’s time to go shopping for an expertly fit versatile bra or foundation in which you may shop with for all of your dresses, as well as your wedding gown. The bra can make all the difference and for girls with more ample bosoms, the bra can actually be the deciding factor between different styles of dresses and tops.
Now, once you have been fit for your bra and made your wardrobe selections, you should take time to consider each event and outfit when finalizing your foundations. The shaping bottom that works well with all three dresses may become stretched out after the first event and with time in short supply, it may be wise to have a fresh pair for each occasion ready to keep you looking your very best. If you’re planning to wear hosiery, it is highly advisable to purchase a back up pair for each occasion also just in case a run happens on the way out the door.
Strapless bras, bras with convertible straps, nude, ivory, white or black bras, long lines bustiers, bodysuits and the list goes on…I cannot tell you how many women come running through Bedroom I’s Boutique on Friday and Saturday afternoons in the summer looking for a bra. Picture this, the car is running on the curb with a significant other patiently waiting while an out of breathe woman dressed in a beautiful cocktail dress reveals to us that she has forgotten her bra and is now running late for the wedding. Rarely is this woman the bride, but on several occasions she is a bridesmaid and often she is a wedding guest. My advice is to think about these things, if at all possible, ahead of time to avoid stressful last minute shopping. And please, bring the dress(es) and/or tops and outfits you plan to wear when shopping for an undergarment. We cannot say with absolute certainty that any one foundation will work with your garments if you do not bring them along to try together.
Finally, the days of separation of form and function are long gone. Your foundations can do the job and still appear pretty and feminine. Now, depending on your body type you will have some options. |
