What To Wear Wedding Dress Shopping

What to Wear Wedding Dress Shopping

Shopping for wedding dresses is an exciting milestone for brides. But before I go into the boutique, many ask: What do I wear when trying on a wedding dress? At TheDressOutlet.com we have led many brides through this process and comfort is key. The outfit you wear during gown trying is important because it’ll not only help you try on dresses easily but also see how a dress will look on your wedding day. For your appointment, it's best to wear simple, supportive underwear and clothing that can be easily removed.

Comfortable Undergarments

To avoid visible lines when wearing your dresses, go for seamless or nude underwear.  Stick-on cups or a strapless bra are best because they’ll allow you to try on dresses with all sorts of necklines and sleeve styles.

Easy-to-Remove Clothing

Choose a loose-fitting dress, leggings or a top and skirt outfit that is simple to remove. Do not wear clothes with too many buttons, zips, or layers that may slow you down.

Minimal Makeup and Accessories

Keep makeup light to avoid staining gowns. Avoid heavy metals so it does not snag delicate fabrics like lace and tulle. Take accessories only if you are going to weigh how they will pair with your dress.

Shoes Similar to Wedding Day Heels

Bring along the shoes you'd like to wear or wear similar ones while trying on dresses. You can better estimate the dress's length and comfort.

Buying Tips

Always bring water and stay comfortable during your appointment. When you are visiting the facility, take one or two people who you trust. When selecting a dress, pay close attention to how you feel in it, not just how it looks on the hanger.
