Things You'll Need:
- Lingerie
- Women's Dress Shoes
- Women's Pajamas
- Women's Slippers
-
Step 1
Begin by choosing a bra that offers enough support and is the right style for your dress - preferably from a brand name with which you are already comfortable.
-
Step 2
Slip on a strapless bra if your dress has a low or wide-cut neckline, or slender straps. The most versatile strapless is one with removable straps that you can make into a crisscross or halter bra. Buy underwire if you are full-busted or full-figured.
-
Step 3
Select a backless bra that hooks at the waist if your dress has a low-cut back. Let them see skin, not bra straps.
-
Step 4
Slim down with a Lycra or spandex slimmer. This modern-day corset will keep you looking trim; just make sure it's comfortable for an extended period of time, and take it along to your fittings - it can change the fit of your dress.
-
Step 5
Wear underwear that is comfortable, stays in place and doesn't show through the dress in any light. A pantyhose-underwear combination is a good choice for a slim-fitting skirt.
-
Step 6
Choose a sexy garter belt, if you dare - make sure that it shows no lines and won't snap during a dance.
-
Step 7
Purchase a slip if you are wearing a long sheath dress.
-
Step 8
Pick hosiery of any style, as long as its color flows harmoniously with your dress.
-
Step 9
Try on a variety of styles under your dress once you've chosen the proper type, and move, move, move. The bra should be comfortable and stay in place at all times.

Others do enjoy the teasing and playing prior to serious love making because it will enhance the moment. Cater to the man you have or else teach him to enjoy what you enjoy and there will be comfortable medium. Lingeriebride.com

on 2/3/2008 Keep in mind that if you are buying lingerie cause you want to please the man. It almost does not matter how or what the lingerie looks like. I had bought some sexy lingerie over at http://sexy-lingerie-onyou.com that looked really nice on me but my boyfriend just wanted to get me out of it.
Hmm, is this good or bad?

on 2/15/2006 I choose a quality bustier to wear with my strapless dress. These really lift you up and looks they great with strapless styles. My dress has a huge cathedral length train, and tends to pull down. I bought double sided tape (Hollywood fashion tape is a good one) there is also toupee tape or res-q tape. Just stick this in small strips all around the top of your gown and a little inside the top of the bra or bustier and it holds up beautifully!
Also, corset-type bustiers help suck in and flatten any bulges, creating a smooth line.
