Lingerie holds a very special place in the bridal trousseau. But it often gets ignored by the bride while shopping for her wedding attire.
And no matter what one is wearing on the outside, a good set of well-fitted lingerie will always make one feel more confident and sexy.
Suman Chowdhury, co-founder and COO, Clovia shares a list of lingerie essentials every bride must include in her trousseau:
1. T-shirt bra
These bras have smooth, seamless cups and are ideal for wearing under thin, lightweight fabrics. For all dresses that are either plain or have no heavy work on the upper part, a T-shirt bra is what one would need. It is perfect for both Indian and western clothes.
Moreover, one will need this piece of lingerie both before and after the wedding. It is the most basic and most utilised piece of lingerie one must own.
2. No VPL briefs
No visible panty lines briefs are the perfect choice for fitted dresses that one will wear for their engagement, cocktail party, or other post-wedding outings.
These briefs give a sleek silhouette by offering a perfect solution to tight, sheer, and/or clingy fabrics.
3. Date night bras
From sexy strapless numbers and demi cups to push up bras; date night bras are an important part of one's trousseau.
These bras play an essential role in the dates that one will have before the wedding and also on the honeymoon, of course.
4. Lace lingerie
Lace is extremely sexy. Therefore, lace lingerie is undoubtedly the most appealing lingerie a girl can wear.
They are perfect for romantic nights after marriage and can also be worn with see through night dresses.
5. Shapewear
Shapewear forms an essential part of the bridal trousseau, right from the beginning of the wedding celebrations.
From the figure-hugging engagement gown to the basic saree, shapewear helps one to flaunt a toned figure with a smooth finish to their outerwear.
6. Lingerie accessories
From tapes, adhesives and silicones to stockings; these accessories play an important role in the final look of all the backless, off-shoulder and other stylish outfits.
Moreover, lingerie accessories keep one's outfit in place, as and when required.
