The Best Petticoat for Your Wedding Gown

An essential part of your wedding attire, the petticoat servers as a bridal slip that will help fill out the look and feel of your gown. As an underskirt, it will lend shape and form to your figure, helping your true beauty shine through.

Many modern wedding gowns have integrated petticoats – check with your dress maker to see if it’s possible to get a customized solution that fits you better. In particular, slim, slender dresses work best with A-line crinoline petticoats, which have minimal visibility, while allowing you to show off your natural shape. For a fuller dress, the medium crinoline will provide a flaired silhouette that will accent a traditional dress, while a full crinoline is idea for a bouffant (full) style dress.

If you haven’t spent time wearing your dress, realize that they can be quite cumbersome, so you’ll want a comfortable, fitting petticoat that will allow you to have all of the form and function on your wedding day. Most bridal petticoats can be purchased at reasonable prices, and come a variety of colors, most prominently white and ivory. Check to make sure the color and style is fully compatible with the dress you select, and always give it a try before your actual wedding day.
