This is one of the most important items you need to bring to your appointment. If you wear the wrong underwear, it could result in the dress not fitting properly or looking all wrong.

If you haven’t yet picked a dress, you should take a selection of bras along to your appointment. Something padded, something non-padded and something strapless might be a good start.

If you’ve bought your dress and the appointment is a fitting, then think about the shape and style of the dress and which bra would look best with it. If your dress is strapless, avoid a standard bra. Instead, try a bandeau style one, or even take your bra off completely for the appointment. Most dresses have built-in padding and wires so you may find that you don’t need extra support at all. This would be extremely beneficial for any backless dresses.

We’d suggest avoiding padded bras. Choose a more natural looking T-shirt bra instead, with minimal padding and wires.

If you can, you should wear the underwear you’re donning on the day. This will result in the ultimate perfect fit, particularly if your dress requires alterations.

Whatever you do, don’t wear black knickers!
