When you are asked to be a bridesmaid you will be given a dress to wear. The bride always chooses the dress – but you are free to choose what you wear underneath. Shapewear, Stockings or hold-ups, tights, corsets, and even waist trainers, are all popular choices.
The job of the bridesmaid is to make the bride look beautiful. They attend to her needs all day during her wedding. They act as ladies-in-waiting to make sure her special day goes without a hitch. As such, you should wear something that is comfortable to you.
We asked a group of bridesmaids what they wore under their robes.
Top 8 Bridesmaid’s Undergarments
Our bridesmaids suggested the following items be worn under your dress when you attend a bride!
1 – Best Overall – The See-Through Lingerie Strappy Set
First up, you cannot get better than an old-fashioned set of lingerie. They should make you feel sexy, be in your favorite (or their favorite) color and should be comfortable. They should also be appealing so that you see a goddess when you look in the mirror… and that’s what this sheer set does.
This set contains a garter belt so that you can wear stockings with your bridesmaid’s dress. It comes in a lovely gift box, too. So, if a bride were shopping for her maids or vice versa, this would be a lovely gift.
Women wearing this strappy set reported feeling so sexy underneath their bridesmaid’s clothes. The straps are thin and accentuate the bosom, the sheer lace is provocative yet comfortable… Reviewers especially love that lace pantie with the extra straps. It’s an innovative approach to an old classic.
Why I Like It:
- It’s a sensual set sure to please both you and your partner.
- Visually, this set looks stunning on any woman.
- Choice of red, wine, dark green, dark blue, purple, and black.
2 – Sexiest Bridesmaid’s Undergarments – The Maidenform Woman’s Shapewear Body Briefer
Click Here to Purchase Maidenform Women’s Shapewear Body Briefer with Lace
This lace one piece is by far the sexiest silhouette of shapewear out there. It is available in black, white, pink, or red. No matter which color you choose, it is sure to set your partner to sizzling.
We don’t believe shapewear should be limited to the beige, flesh-colored, or to the uncomfortable. It should be form fitting, elegant, and contain as much well-placed lace as possible. This is exactly what this shapewear/body briefer one piece does.
It tucks the tummy, shapes the hips and waist, and conceals under-arm bulging. If you want your bridesmaid dress to have a perfect canvas, this one will make you feel sexy, to boot.
Why I Like It:
- Reminds us shapewear can be flirty and fun.
- Makes women feel fantastic under their robes.
- It covers all the worrisome torso parts we fret about.
3 – Most Popular – The SPANX Shapewear for Women Tummy Control Power Shorts
We all love a good concealing short, but for those wearing a mini-skirt bridesmaid’s dress, shorts are a must. If you are a lady of the larger persuasion, then you are no stranger to friction between the legs. The SPANX shorts prevent “chub rub” and make the outfit more comfortable for you.
SPANX are one of the forerunners of the shapewear industry. This means that they have many years’ experience in providing women with underwear we can depend upon. They make underwear in a variety of colors and are known to produce a plus size range.
The Spanx short prevents thigh chafing, hiding all your sins in a short bridesmaid robe. They are lightweight, suitable for lifestyle use as well, and create an hourglass hip-region figure.
Why I Like It:
- SPANX is a fashion-forward brand.
- Shapewear you can wear every day.
- Perfect hip-and-butt lifter!
4 – Best for Affordability – The Nebility Women Waist Trainer Bodysuit
For those who are happy with their thigh region, we present an affordable way to gain the figure you have always wanted. Bridesmaids can now buy this affordable one piece that smooths out the silhouette. This figure-improving bodysuit will eventually train your waist if worn every day.
Some people wear waist trainers while they workout, allowing them to burn maximum calories from that area. Others wear a waist trainer a few days of the week in order to gain that perfect shape. We don’t suggest you wear it every day nor that you do it for long time periods.
This waist trainer is comfortable, doesn’t have seams down the front or back, and comes in sleek black. It has the silken finish of a satin blend and unbuttons in the crotch, so you don’t need to take the whole thing off to pee… Perfect for long wedding days!
Why I Like It:
- Every girl must pee, particularly after a few Proseccos.
- Total tummy control.
- Sleek and sexy undergarment for a bridesmaid.
5 – Best Plus Size Bridesmaid’s Undergarment – the SHAPERX Women’s Lace-Up Boned Sexy Corset
We are sick to the back teeth of brands who try to conceal a woman’s curves. With this SHAPERX women’s lace-up set, the plus size figure can be just as glorified as the slender lady.
This fantastic corset has the double bonus of being both sexy and shapewear. You can achieve flawless curve perfection while you attend the bride on her big day. Best of all, you don’t need to change into something ‘more comfortable’ when you get to the hotel room later.
This corset has busked closure in the front. It comes in a variety of styles and in either black or white. Some sport a lace shoulder and some have a sweetheart neckline. Choose your silhouette and try not to outshine the bride!
Why I Like It:
- The lace up bust is super-sexy.
- It celebrates curves instead of concealing them.
- Comes with a G-string bottom.
6 – Invisible Strap Option (small breasts) – The Niidor Adhesive Bra Strapless Sticky Push-Up
Right… So, this bra won’t work for everyone. IF you have small, pert breasts that can get away without a bra, then this is the one for you. It’s entirely strapless, meaning the straps are gone. Instead, this silicon bra fits to either breast and pushes together and upwards.
Using this invisible bra, you get enough lift to push up and out, without being bulky. You look like you have no bra underneath the dress yet keep the benefits of a bra. If you prefer to go freeform but don’t want your nipples to steal the show, this pack also contains nipple patches.
We love that the shape of the bra is finally being changes. However, we don’t recommend these for larger busted ladies. As ever, our bigger ladies need a little more support in this area. Don’t worry though, we have an invisible bra for the fuller bosom coming up next.
Why I Like It:
- We used to use band-aids to cover our nipples. Patches are an upgrade.
- Silicon skin feel is different.
- It’s surprising how much this little device does for you.
7 – Best Invisible Bra for a Fuller Busted Bridesmaid – The Plusexy Strapless Underwire Invisible Multiway Bra
This model, on the other hand, is more than capable of holding as much cleavage as you must give. It is available in ‘flesh’, black, or white. It is best to choose based on the color of your bridesmaid’s dress.
This is a multiway bra. This means that you can wear the invisible (clear plastic material) strap around your back, as a halter neck – whatever fits your style.
As well as being suitable for the fuller bosom, this bra is sleek and sexy. It looks beautiful from the front, sporting the sweetheart neckline most of us love. From the back and top, you wouldn’t be able to see it at all under your dress.
Why I Like It:
- We like the versatility of a multiway bra.
- It’s a sexy number with no visible straps.
- They include a matching color of strap so you can use it as a regular bra, too.
8 – Best Youthful – The Lziizl Women Sexy Lace Bra and Panty Set
Excuse the use of “youthful” – but you know what we mean. For those women who aren’t of an age to be worrying about shapewear yet… If this applies to you, huddle in. This set is so sexy, classy, and visually appealing, that your plus one will be astounded.
Available in black, white, blue, red, pink, purple, and green, this set isn’t shapewear. It’s bridesmaid quality lingerie at its finest. It has a lovely lace finish that is inviting to the touch. It features a long torso with under-bust support, so you always look fantastic.
This is a set for the lady who knows she is foxy. We love it and we’re confident you will too.
Why I Like It:
- It’s fun, flirty, and young.
- It puts the focus on all the right places.
- The French knicker style will never go out of fashion.
Further Thoughts on Bridesmaid’s Clothing
A bridesmaid should always be dressed to match the color scheme but what she wears under her robes is her business… not the bride’s. Wear what makes you comfortable and spend the day as a Goddess. Every bridesmaid deserves to shine almost as much as her bride does.
At least until it’s her turn.
