What Are You Going to Wear UNDER That Perfect Dress?

You're engaged. Congratulations!

You've started scanning and collecting all of the planning information you can get your hands on. Checklists for 12, 9, 7 months before the wedding. You've asked your girls to stand up with you.

Now it's time to go find that perfect dress. That dress that will make your man's mouth hang open as you walk down the aisle towards him. That dress that will make your dad hold you a little tighter because his little girl is all grown up. That dress that makes you feel like a princess on your very special day.

But what are you going to wear under that dress?

According to the Knot Wedding Channel, knowing what lingerie you are going to wear under your dress is one of the top 5 things every bride should know before shopping for your dress. As they say, "finding the perfect gown requires patience and a whole lot of preparation."

So be prepared for your dress fitting. Take the right lingerie with you. Go with your bridesmaids to a lingerie store with expert fitters and have lingerie fittings before going dress shopping. Our fitters at The Girls can help you find the perfect bra, corset, shapewear or hosiery for your perfect dress and body type.

Take the lingerie you are going to wear on your special day to your gown fittings. Wearing the right lingerie to your dress consultation and fitting helps the dresses fall on you like they will on your wedding day. So there will be no surprises. It also helps your wedding consultant get more accurate measurements for ordering that perfect gown.

Congratulations again! And happy shopping!!

Foundation of Good Style

When searching for the perfect outfit don't forget the foundation.

The proper foundation will make your outfit go from good to perfect. They are comfortable and provide outstanding support that enhance your figure.

You know your trouble area. But do you know what piece of shapewear you need? Here is a quick top to bottom guide to help you find the perfect piece for your silhouette.

Shape and enhance your bust with bust shapers and silicone enhancements, also known as cookies.

Body shapers are designed to provide full body coverage and shaping from the bust down to the tummy and hips

Waist shapewear is ideal to accent your curves. It comes in a variety of styles from slip to briefs with an elongated waist band that extends just below your bra line. The proper fitting piece will not roll. Sizing will depend on your torso length as well as your waist and hip measurements.

Tummy control shapewear provides support in the front to flatten your tummy and give you a smooth silhouette.

Use panty shapers to flatten your tummy and lift your rear.

Thigh shapers provide the same benefits as panty shapers while shaping and supporting your thigh. Most include a special grip to prevent rolling.

Shapewear comes in a variety of colors and support levels from industrial knock you down a size to light gentle smoothing. You can choose the amount of control, support and smoothing that suits your figure and lifestyle.

Don't miss the amazing Boxing Week sale still going on at The Girls.

Smooth Operator

Women of all sizes wear shapewear under their dresses-petite, misses, and plus size alike.

A woman’s dress size is unimportant, or even whether or not she has unsightly bulges or pudgy areas. The proper foundation garment ensures her of very smooth, sleek, flattering lines in her dress, workwear, and even under jeans. 


No two pieces of shapewear serve the same function. Some smooth, some lift, and some even bring you down a size. A trained fitter can help you find the perfect foundational garment for your needs.

Different types of shapewear make your outfit go from good to fantastic!
