Going Wedding Dress Shopping (Need Recs)

[pixelpassion]

I'm super excited since some of the dresses I'm looking at are on sale, but this means I'm gonna have to buy spanx...right?

Any good recommendations for strapless bras as well?

Don't worry about spans while you're trying on. It'll be WAY too hot. Just wear undies that cover your bum because someone (likely the consultant) will be helping you in and out of dresses. Save the spanx for when you go for fittings.

Same thing with bras. If you have a nude-colored strapless bra you could wear it (or bring it) but most dresses have enough structure that you won't need it, and it'll just make you hotter/sweatier. I wouldn't go buy a special bra just to try on dresses. Again, once you've selected a dress and know the shape/cut, you can go nuts on undergarments. It's not worth spending a lot of money until you know what you'll be working with.

I would make sure you bring some wet wipes and bottled water because you will get hot and sweaty, even in november.

Thanks nicbreeful! I'm glad it's not mandatory that I buy all this shit now.

@villianv, I get crazy overheated just trying regular clothes on, so duly noted. And thanks!

I didn't wear a bra with my dress, I had cups sewn into it instead. I just tried them on with a strapless bra that the dress place had.
