5 Classic Wedding Dress Silhouettes and the Undergarments You Should Wear With Them

"This silhouette can be banging, and pretty unforgiving. Before you even step foot into one mermaid dress, commit to your shapewear first and take it to all of your appointments. This will help you visualize what a dress will really look like on you once it's all smoothed out. Power shorts or a power skirt that goes to the knee are your safest bet for a mermaid gown, since mermaids are typically fitted well past your low hip. And what gets smooshed down must come up, so make sure your shapewear is high-waisted and preferably attached to your bra or corset. You need that smooth line from your rib cage ALLL the way know to your knee. It's a commitment, but when you get it right, a mermaid dress is truly awe-inspiring."
