Chemises and Other Innerwear

You’re a bride to be and lucky for you, you have already received your dream robe. But now you have no clue what to wear underneath…..and it is completely transparent!!!

Don’t worry! We’re here to talk you through it.

Silk Chemises

Silk Chemises are the first and most obvious option. They feel great against the skin and are also extremely flattering as they have this way of choosing the perfect places to slip and dip.

On the down side chemises do not have zips, thus cannot be fitted. However, they can be worn over and over as flattering sleepwear.

Wrap Chemises

Wrap chemises are a clever way of overcoming the zip problem. The can be tied and secured at the side, thereby giving a fitted waist and flattering shape.

Because the wrap chemise unravels in front; it does not have to be worn from the head, so your makeup is left completely intact.

Fitted Slip

This is the average bodycon dress made from jersey stretch cotton. This is a great look for those who have perfect figures and looks extremely attractive under sheer robes.

Because of the stretching characteristic, the fitted slip can easily be worn from the bottom up.

On the downside, if you have a large belly or love handles, the fitted slip will hug every last curve 😦 However, it’s nothing a girdle cant fix 🙂

Corset / Bodice

The fitted bodice has recently become increasingly popular. With the rounded cups and body-squeazing midsection, it draws those interested in a more alluring boudoir shoot.

Please note: It is extremely important to refer to the size guide before purchasing a corset online as the sizes are specific to the individual makers. Also consider the time it will take to secure the laces at the back, and add this to your getting-ready-time. You will not be able to secure a corset on your own, so make sure you have 1-2 people that can help with that on the day. It is also advisable that you try it on before the D-day.

…In Conclusion

The fitted slip is hands-down our top-pick. It is inexpensive and can be worn after the wedding either as a slip, or as a dress in itself. If you buy your bodycon slip online there is also a good 90% chance that it will fit because of it’s stretch quality. It can be worn easily from below without ruining your makeup and looks fantastic under all types of robes.
