Curve Appeal
|  |
This strapless bustier from Jezebel (figleaves.com) shapes the waist and makes it perfect for a corset-style gown. Keep your silhouette seam-free with a thong like this from On Gossamer (ongossamer.com). Its nude hue also means it won’t be visible through thinner fabrics. Gown by Vineyard Collection.
Perfect Proportions
|  |
Designed to support your tummy and lift your bust, this halter-style tank from Nearly Nude (hipundies.com) trims your figure—comfortably. Gown by Reem Acra.
Barely There
|  |
The self-adhesive underwire bra from Sassybax (sassybax.com) sticks to your body in front—no need for straps—and with proper care, it can be reused between 20 and 50 times! Gown by Jim Hjelm.
Taking the Plunge
|  |
A dramatic plunging neckline calls for a bra like this one, from Frederick’s of Hollywood (fredericks.com). Its padded cups lift to enhance cleavage, and because the straps are convertible, it will work underneath almost any type of bodice. Seamless boy shorts from Jockey.com are a great alternative to a thong and guarantee all-day comfort (and no VPL!). Gown by Jenny Packham Bride.
Full Coverage
|  |
Seamless high-waisted bike shorts from Soma Intimates (soma.com) offer an ideal way to take control of tummy, tush and thighs, for a smooth, sensuous look. Starting under the bust and finishing just above the knee, they’ll tame bulges for allover confidence. Gown by Watters Brides.
Booty-Licious!
|  |
Want a perfect derriere? The preshaped Buty Panty from Intimate Apparel Accessories by Fashion Forms (lingeriesolutions.com) rounds off your look. Gown by Amy Michelson.
How Clever
 |
Whatever your gown style, Wedding Apparel Tape by Hollywood Fashion Tape, which adheres to skin and fabric, can protect against unforeseen wardrobe malfunctions. If you think your gown mandates going braless, you might consider one other option: Nu Bra (sylenedc.com) is great for a strapless, backless and sideless gown—the two self-adhesive silicone cups stick to you. Sassynips, silicone nipple concealers from Sassybax (sassybax.com) that are sticky in back, may be worn inside a soft-cup bra for a smooth exterior finish.
