They’re perfect for accentuating your figure and showing off your gorgeous curves! This longline corset from Corset Story is stunning and is ideal under most strapless wedding dresses. It’s worth noting that if you’ve never worn a corset before, be sure to practice beforehand – they can be hard work!
Mermaid Dress
Bridal shapewear is perfect if your dress is a mermaid silhouette. It can cover your thighs, tummy, and hips, and give the experience that everything is extra smooth. Let’s be honest, not many of us are blessed with being naturally smooth everywhere!
