Why to Buy Shapewear for Wedding?
Brides want to look absolutely perfect on their wedding day. Their dress should flatter their figure, and they should have the proper undergarments to accompany it. The best undergarment to purchase for under a wedding dress is shapewear. Its style, comfort, and ease of use makes it the best option to wear under a wedding gown. There is no doubt that the bride will look her ultimate best and feel good wearing a piece of shapewear on her wedding day.
Many companies have designed shapewear garments specifically for wedding dresses. Regardless of the style of dress, strapless, mermaid, or traditional, there are shapewear pieces that work for all. The list below details as to what shapewear garments are the best based on dress style.
#Dress Style: Traditional
Traditional dresses often fit loosely; therefore, you can opt for a waist cincher to help to tighten the waist and the stomach. If the hips or thighs are your target area, then choose a pair of spanx or shapewear shorts.
#Dress Style: Cocktail Style
Cocktail style often runs mid length, so you have to avoid any pieces of shapewear that extend too low for people to see. Cocktail style dresses work well with a bodysuit underneath, or even a pair of shaping briefs.
#Dress Style: Strapless
Strapless makes it more difficult to choose a piece of shapewear, as you are limited to pieces that can easily be hidden. For a strapless dress, you can go with a strapless body shaper, or even a pair of waist cinchers or shaping briefs.
#Dress Style: Lace/Silk
Lace or silk wedding dresses give you limited options of shapewear pieces as well because they are thinner material. Lace/silk dresses also have the tendency to pick up colors underneath; you want to choose something that is seamless so it is not seen under your dress. Choosing a neutral color rather than white works the best.
Shapewear will no doubt make you look thinner, and ultimately better, on your wedding day. You will feel comfortable and won’t even remember that you have it on. Although diet and exercise is a good way to lose weight, it is often hard with the stress during wedding season. Shapewear can help make you look your best without focusing on your diet.
Many celebrities also make use of shapewear under their dresses right on the red carpet. It makes them feel confident being in front of people and in the spotlight knowing that their body looks fabulous in their beautiful dress. With shapewear, you can achieve that confidence too.
What Shapewear to Wear Under a Wedding Dress?
You have picked out the perfect dress for your wedding day, but now you are concerned with what you will wear underneath it. It is important to do a little research and become knowledgeable of all the different types/styles of wedding shapewear on the shelves. The style of your dress plays a major factor in what shapewear you will need to purchase for your perfect day. Discussed below are some tips on what shapewear is perfect for you, depending on your style of dress.
Strapless Dress
If your wedding dress is strapless then your number one concern is having a good support, so that you won’t be tugging and pulling up your dress all day. For strapless dresses, a bustier is the perfect choice of shapewear. It helps to support most breast sizes due to their built in bra, and also clinches to your waist. Another option for a good support is a bandeau style strapless bra.

Mermaid Style Dress
Mermaid style dresses are usually very tight fitting and close to the body. Choosing shapewear for this style can therefore be quite challenging. A good choice here would be a seamless bustier or even a bodysuit. These will help to support and slim the waist and shape the hips. You could also wear a strapless bra with a pair of high waist control shorts, to keep everything in order.

Ball Gown Style Dress
Choosing shapewear for a ball gown style dress is quite easy. You have the option of choosing whatever you would like because they are very loose fitting. Most ball gown styles tend to flare out at the hips so shapewear focusing on shaping the waist and support for the bust is the best choice. Bustiers are usually a suitable choice.

Backless Dress
There are shapewear styles designed especially for backless dresses. Low back bodysuits or bustiers are perfect for backless wedding dresses. They will help to keep the body tight and in a good form.

For these types of dresses, you want to support the bust. There are some deep style bras out on the market that will help to support the bust and also the mid area. There are also plunging style bodysuits that can be worn to help shape more areas.

Choosing the perfect shapewear to go under a wedding dress can be quite tricky. Depending on the style you will need to choose the right undergarment to hold and support you on your special day, while being safely hidden underneath.

Best Shapewear for a Tight Dress
One of the more challenging tasks is finding shapewear that goes unnoticed under the tightest of dresses. A snug fit is meant to showcase your body in the best way possible, but even a light meal can make this silhouette feel uncomfortable. No one wants to have her evening ruined by sucking in her stomach all night or pulling bunched fabric back into place every few minutes. Fortunately, many shapewear options are made for this type of garment to ensure that you spend your night enjoying yourself (and dinner!) rather than holding your breath and picking at your food.
Tights and Hosiery
For a streamlined silhouette without any unsightly fuss underneath, try tights and stockings. These staples even work with summer sandals thanks to toeless varieties, and they offer control top waistbands that keep everything in place.
Control Shorts
Skinnygirl Shapewear Slimming Hi-Rise Brief
Tame your core with a pair of control shorts. This discreet undergarment smoothes your upper torso as well as your lower back and abs to eliminate any unwanted bulges.
Butt Lifters
TruFigure Butt Lifting Panties
Your backside is an important feature that shouldn’t be ignored. If your derriere is sagging more as the years go by, or if you wish you had more roundness and shape, consider trying butt lifters. Padded styles give you additional plumpness, and cutout designs provide compression to slim your torso while lifting your assets.
High-Waisted Shapers
Create the illusion of perfectly flat abs with a high-waisted shaper that keeps your figure slim from your thighs and hips all the way up to your ribcage. These shapers eliminate visible back fat while keeping your waist nipped and cinched.
Body Shapers
Vedette Evonne Firm Compression Body Shaper
From compression bodysuits to garter dresses, body shapers are an excellent undergarment for tight dresses. These add a streamlined effect all over, which is ideal for outfits that are snug from top to bottom.
Strapless Shapewear
Strapless dresses require hidden support, and that can be challenging to find! Longline bras, brasselettes and strapless bodysuits are some of the best options for giving you lift where you need it most. As Carly Jacobs explains on Smaggle, nude, strapless shapewear dresses are essential items and will work with any piece in your closet.
Arm Shapers
Is your new dress a little too snug in the arms, or do you feel self-conscious about loose skin around your triceps? Arm shapers tighten and slim this area so that you can feel confident again.
Bridal Shapewear
All great relationships need a solid foundation, and so does every blushing bride. Something borrowed and something blue will both likely take a backseat to shapewear necessities on your wedding day. No matter your size or shaping needs, you’ll find the foundational pieces you need at Classic Shapewear.
Va Bien Backless Strapless Bustier
Bustiers
Bustiers are a wedding day staple, providing sheer shape and support underneath a variety of wedding gown designs. Unlike the brasselette and torsolette, the bustier stops at the bottom of the ribcage for more minimal coverage.
Brasselettes
Much like bustiers, brasselettes smooth the upper body for wedding day perfection. This style provides a bit more coverage with a longer length that hits right at the waist.
Torsolettes
Dominique Satin & Lace Torsolette
As the name suggests, torsolettes fall all the way to the top of the hips for more coverage than the bustier and brasselette around the lower stomach and back. This style is helpful in smoothing any unwanted back bulges or lower abdominal pooches so that your silhouette stays tight throughout the ceremony.
Strapless Bras
A strapless dress shows off a woman’s décolletage and shoulders so beautifully, and the last thing you want on your wedding day is an unsupported chest detracting from the look and restricting those dance moves at the reception. As this shapewear blog explains, strapless bras offer the lift a strapless gown requires while providing a smooth curve and boosted cleavage.
Body Briefers and Bodysuits
Rago Body Briefer Firm Shaping
If you’re looking for a full-body slimming effect, body briefers and bodysuits provide the smooth contouring you desire over multiple areas rather than targeting just one. These shapers are comfortable in their designs and require no fuss so that you can focus on the ceremony – and not your shapewear.
Suspender Belts
Upgrade your hosiery with a vintage-inspired suspender belt that adds timeless charm to your undergarments. Layered atop your shaping briefs, suspender belts lie flat while supporting your stockings for a secure walk down the aisle.
Backless Bras
Baring your back on your big day? The right backless bra will give you the support and lift you need in the front while going undetected along the back to complement this modern and elegant style.
Shaping Briefs
Tighten up your hips, thighs and derriere with a classic shaping brief that hides discreetly underneath your gown and creates a visibly smooth curve. High-waisted styles help control your stomach and prevent any unwelcome bulges.
Babydolls
Coquette 2-Piece Eyelash Lace and Satin Babydoll
The wedding may be the main event, but don’t forget to pack some lingerie for the honeymoon. Babydolls are one of the most feminine sleepwear styles, and they always look effortlessly romantic.
Your wedding day is a magical time that you’ll always remember. At Classic Shapewear, we vow to help you look your most radiant as you say “I do” to that special someone.
Prepare For Your Wedding Day
When you walk down the aisle on your big day, you want everything to be perfect. No distractions or worries about how you look in your wedding dress. This is your day and you should be confident that you look absolutely stunning.
Dominique Backless Satin Longline Bra

Prepare for your wedding day by exploring the shapewear garments that will work best with your dress. Bridal shops can advise you on the correct undergarments, but you should try different shapewear styles and fits to ensure that you’re comfortable with what you’re wearing.

Wedding dresses are the perfect way to express your unique personality and sense of beauty, and we want to help you showcase your natural curves and beautiful figure.

The more comfortable you are, the more you can relax and enjoy your special day.
