Bridal Shaping Undergarments & Outerwear
Wedding Corsets - A proper bridal corset is a slimming undergarment primarily designed to pull in the waist a few inches. Desired tautness will depend on how tight it's laced up. A wedding dress corset is like a bodice, worn to mould and shape the torso. Over 60 years ago, whalebone was used to shape and form a corset. Luckily today made to measure bridal corsets are produced with steel 'bones' which gives them great hourglass shape.
Wedding Basques - Are a tight fitting bodice or short 'coat'. It is also a stylish and slimming undergarment and outerwear that many refer to as a 'waspie'. A basque does not necessarily pull in the waist, but it shapes the upper body. They however do have steel bones as well.
Bridal Waist Cincher - The waist cincher was very popular with the 80's bride, and women generally. It’s a type of wide laced belt, made with elasticised fabric and soft plastic stiffeners.
Bridal Bustier - A bustier with it's close-fitting, sleeveless, and usually strapless bodice, is worn by brides as a slimming undergarment or as an outer apparel. A bustier is similar to a basque, but comes shorter. It reaches down only to the ribs or waist.
Bustiers' shapes the waist in a more gentle way, pushing up the bust, tightening against the midriff, forcing them firmly up. The use of boning is quite common in bustiers, but they are often fabricated using mesh panels. A multi-purpose garment, it doubles as a push-up bra for inner wear and as a camisole for outer wear.
Vintage Bridal Bras- The design of the bridal gown usually determines the type of bra that must be worn. The bra must support and elevate the bosom in most vintage inspired wedding gowns.
Depending on the gowns bodice, the style of the skirt , the cut of its neckline and whether its cut high or low at the back, the bra chosen must certainly conform with the style of the gown.
Popular amongst the 'vintage brides' is the long line strapless bra which starts at the bust line, ending down at the waist. It has some boning and includes multiple hook and eyelets which both gives it extra firmness and added support, thus acting as an effective bridal slimming undergarment.

Oh i'm so sorry to hear that akirchner. I wonder what could have caused that. You must have 'freaked' out. I would, as i hate any form of constriction or confinement.
I always wear bustiers, mostly as outer wear, but have the ones with those new zippers. Thank God i haven't had that experience.
I must go and read that hub.

Vintage wedding gowns are the favorite pick lately. If you are wearing one you absolutely need a slimming undergarment. Great pictures and advice.
Thanks for the nice comments KoffeeKlatch. You are right. Without the slimming undergarments, they just won't fit right.

I had a terrible incident with a bustier and I shudder every time I see one! These are lovely though - I do recommend never getting one that does not have snaps or something similar so that you can get OUT of it. I wrote a hub on my horrific experience in the dressing room at the department store. I was seriously terrified I would have to call a saleswoman in to cut me out of it and I would never be able to come back to the store. It, however, was one of those tube things....never again!
