The base for the perfect wedding dress is wearing the correct bridal lingerie

BRIDAL LINGERIE IS NO ORDINARY LINGERIE. In fact, the right bridal lingerie will accentuate your feminine shapes and make your wedding dress look perfect. Bridal lingerie is always strapless, always has a deep back, as well as deep cleavage, so it always forms the perfect base for a wedding dress. Also, bridal lingerie ensures a better and extremely elegant posture, so your wedding day cannot go wrong. In short, buying the ideal wedding dress starts with the perfect bridal lingerie!

Kimono BN-745B is made of luxurious, ivory-coloured satin, making it fall extremely smoothly. The word ‘Bride’ is embroidered in gold colour on the back. This kimono is available in different sizes.

Torsolette
A torsolette is the best foundation for every wedding dress, because a torsolette can fit and show your dress the way it is meant to be. Torsolettes correct your figure at the waist and stomach. There are torsolettes for all sorts of body types, and naturally also for plus-sizes.
Body
Bodies are made out of smooth, seamless fabrics, and because of this the body you wear is invisible to the eye. Next to this, bodies are comfortable to wear. Poirier has designed special bodies that have a very low back, to make sure that they are not visible underneath wedding dresses with extreme low back designs.
Bra
You cannot wear a bra underneath a wedding dress with a low back, unless you choose a specially designed low back bra. At Poirier we often see that a bra is worn together with shapewear, and by doing so you can create the best body shape and form, but also the best fit for your wedding dress. All our bras are strapless, and they are also available in plus-sizes. Needless to say that all our bras can also be worn underneath more casual clothing after your wedding.
Slips, strings, hipsters & shorts

Make a combination of a torsolette, a regular bra or a self-adhesive bra with a slip, string, hipster or short of Poirier. Bridal lingerie that we offer in this category has wonderful shaping features, is made out of smooth fabrics, and tasteful lace.

Self-adhesive bras

Wedding dresses with a deep cleavage or a free back call for an adhesive bra. This type of bra is self-adhesive, so easy to apply, gives a push-up shape, and creates a beautiful cleavage.

Adhesive bras and shapers are absolute must-haves

This bridal lingerie is all too often ignored and that's a shame, because these are the very basis of how a wedding dress falls on the body. The right adhesive bra will shape the bust beautifully and a shaper panty accentuates the body in all the right places.

Did you know that 80% of all woman wears the wrong size lingerie?
That is a real shame, because by wearing the right size lingerie your body gets more support, and you will look slimmer, and let’s be honest, who does not want that?! The same can be said about wearing the right fit of bridal lingerie.
5 tips for finding the right kind of lingerie:
1
Make sure to get your measurements taken by a lingerie expert. Your body changes, and so do your measurements. Never just guess your size, because this is the main reason 80% of all women do not wear the right size lingerie.
2
Do not think that not wearing the perfect size lingerie does not matter, because not wearing the right size of lingerie could lead to all sorts of physical problems. The right fit of lingerie makes you look slimmer, and your wedding dress will have the right form and fit. The same can be said for your casual clothes.
3
Do not wear the same bra for years, because it is so comfortable to wear. Do not fear finding the perfect fit of lingerie, especially when you are going to wear it underneath your once in a lifetime wedding dress.
4
Do not get misled by your cup size. Make sure to “not” look at your cup size, but at your bust. Cup sizes do not have standard fits, and differ from brand to brand.
Bridal shapers are absolute must-haves!
Do you want your wedding dress to look absolutely stunning? Then a bridal shaper is an absolute must-have. A bridal shaper accentuates your female curves in all the right places, and shapes your wedding dress where needed. Shapers are available in different sizes, shapes and materials. Shapers are comfortable to wear, and they are invisible to the eye.

then and now

Lingerie came to being in the 16th century. During this time period women started wearing tighter, more form-fitting, clothes, and they came to discover that they could accentuate their bodies by wearing underwear. Certain fabrics were used as “corsets” to narrow the waist and flatten breasts.

In Victorian times corsets changed shape. Instead of flattening the breasts they were pushed up; that is how the torsolettes we still know now came to being. Since the 1980’s the torsolette is also accepted as outerwear, e.g. when Madonna wore her iconic pointy bra, designed by Jean Paul Gaultier. Because of its functional, figure-shaping qualities the torsolette is the most-important lingerie item in bridal fashion. At Poirier we know as no other how important lingerie is for the form and fit of your wedding dress, so we are glad to help you pick the right fit.
