When you are buying the dress consider how it will fit with and with out a bra. You may love the dress but if you are bigger than a C cup it is better to have support. The gown is not an undergarment. -

A properly fitted wedding gown does not need undergarments. Bra cups are attached to the gown eliminating the need to wear a bra. Unless you are more than 5'5 inches there is no need for an extra crinoline slip. When the gown is shortened it will eliminate the need to push the hem out wider. Sexy panties and shoes is all you will need on your wedding day.

Make sure you bring the undergarments that you are going to wear on the day of your wedding. Bring a couple different style bras or other garments. They can really alter the way a dress is going to fit you.
