I highly suggest wearing comfortable clothing! It's best if you can wear a button down shirt rather than a pullover because you will most likely be doing a lot of changing of garments and dealing with veils! Comfortable shoes also a must because you will probably be standing, looking, and even walking around the salon for a while to decide what you'd like to try on. You may even be hopping from salon to salon and on your feet for an extended period of time.
I also suggest that you not wear a lot of makeup or jewelry. Why, you ask? Dresses being tried on could "touch" your makeup and jewelry, while watches could "snag" the dress.
If you feel that you would benefit from wearing a "body shaper", corset, underwire, or any other undergarment that may help you to achieve the look you want, then by all means do so. You may want to bring a strapless bra as well if you are considering a low back or off the shoulder style. However, as these undergarments are generally considered "non-returnable", I would not suggest that you go running out and buy a bunch of different ones to try on with your gown.

What Should I Wear When Going Gown Shopping?
Thursday, January 22, 2009
Choosing And Buying The Right Shapewear
Measure your waist:
Wrap the tape measure snugly, but without cinching, around the natural indentation or break at your waist. If you can’t find this curve, bend to the side and the crease will show you where to measure. This is your waist measurement. Write it down, you’ll need it in a moment.
Measure your hips:
Wrap the tape measure around the fullest part of your hips. Use the mirror to make sure the tape measure is straight completely around. The tape measure should be snug and parallel to the floor. Write this down as well.
Choosing Your Support Level
· Light Control - This control is light enough to give you smoothness and shaping without binding. Control top pantyhose provide about the same support as light control shapewear. · Moderate Control - For extra smoothness, moderate control shapewear is the answer. Generally, this control will have more spandex and possibly light control panels built in. This control can be worn up to eight hours without discomfort. · Firm Control - The most popular support level, firm control can really make a difference if you have a problem area you want to minimize. Though comfortable, this level of support is difficult to wear the entire day. · Extra Firm Control - This is the highest level of support available in shapewear. At this level, you will find reinforced panels and possibly boning.
Fitting Points:
Here are the must haves for your Shapewear -
· Have a seat - Your shapewear around your legs and torso should be snug, but not binding, it should be as comfortable when you sit as when you stand. If you are not comfortable, your undergarment needs to be adjusted. · Buy the right size - Buying a size too small will not give you additional support, but it will cause great discomfort and an undesirable look. If more support is what you are seeking, buy an undergarment that is meant to give firmer support! · Pear Shaped - If you have an ample bottom and full hips, you will want to have shapewear with side panels and extra rear support. · Put it on the right way - Put it on like you would put on a pair of pantyhose, gather it up and step into it, then pull it up to where you want the shape to begin, the gradually ungather the shaper as you go up the torso. Be sure your seams are in the right place and your panels are straight.
How will you know if your shapewear fits? · Does the waist stay in place? · Move around as you would move throughout the day, does it stay in place? · Is it too tight on your legs? · Is the crotch comfortable? · Are there visible bulges or wrinkles? · Do the legs or waist roll up or down? · Is the garment smooth?

What is Your Panty Type?
Panties, regardless of the cut and style and the fabric they are made of, are basic items to be found in a woman?s lingerie drawer. There are different kinds of panties out there and women do have their preferences as to what type of panties to wear. Some women own different types to wear for different outfits and different occasions, while some opt for just one or two types and stick to them.
It is often said that you can tell what kind of person a woman is by the panties that she wears. Is she the sexy type or the fun-loving, outgoing type? Or is she the practical one and puts comfort above all considerations in picking her underwear?
Bikinis. The bikini panty is the most popular type of panty. Young girls are often raised on this type before they gravitate to boy shorts and thongs when they get older. The bikini panty has a fully-covered rear and is cut high at the thigh. The sides of the bikini can either be of full material or just string (thus leading to the string bikini version). There are mid-rise bikini types as well as low-rise ones to fit the low-pants trend. A woman who prefers bikinis is the kind of woman who likes pretty things but will not sacrifice comfort for them.
Thongs. Racy and sometimes titillating, and propelled to popular heights by Sisqo?s ?Thong Song,? the thong is the skimpiest and sexiest type of panty around. Thongs are usually low rise and leave the bottoms bare. They usually come in G-string or T-back. G-strings are almost nothing but strings, giving that barely there look and feel to it. T-backs, on the other hand, form a T-shape on the buttocks. Women who like wearing thongs like to feel sexy ? and they usually are.
Boy shorts. Boy shorts are a new style of undergarments and are quickly edging close to bikinis. This type of panty is cut low at the thighs, covering the hips and the buttocks, although there are versions of this style that leave the lower portion of the rear bare enough to tease but still leaving a lot to the imagination. Boy shorts are becoming more and more popular because they allow the wearer to look sexy without putting too much emphasis on problem areas like the butt and thighs. Boy shorts are worn by active, athletic women who still want to look sexy without sacrificing comfort.
Briefs. Briefs are also known as granny panties. They are big and cover a considerable portion of the lower torso, starting from the upper thighs and up to the belly button, sometimes even the waist. Some people do not find hipsters pretty at all, but there is no doubt that they are very comfortable. Many women wear them for sleeping or when they are having their periods. A woman who prefers to wear briefs above all other types of underwear does not give a hoot about what is fashionable and stylish. Comfort is her only concern and nothing else.

How to Choose a Bra that Fits
We've all heard that most women are walking around in the wrong size bra. "That's hardly a surprise," I hear you say, "considering how hard it is to work out what does fit!"
Yes, finding the right bra can be frustrating, but if you learn a few simple rules, it can be done. If you know how to try on a bra properly, and can spot the tell-tale signs of a bra that's never going to fit, you can find a comfortable bra that will feel good as well as look good.
The problem is, bosoms come in all shapes and sizes. Short of custom making, bra makers can't possibly make a bra to fit every single combination of measurements. The width of the back, the shape of the breast, the size of chest and the rib cage - all combine to create an amazing number of variations.
Bra manufacturers have to decide how to average all that out in a range of sizes that usually only goes from A to D, and they don't all make the same decisions. Some of them will choose models who are shaped like you - others won't.
That's why you'll find some brands fit much better than others. For instance, I would love to wear Marks & Spencers bras to go with my M&S undies, but they don't fit. Ever.
Actually, I'm a 36DD so there aren't many bras in the average department store to fit me. Which brings me neatly to my next topic - discovering your size.

Fitting a Bra
Wearing a bra that fits is much better for your breast health. Unfortunately, more than 70% of women are wearing the wrong size of bra. Don't be one of them!
Follow these four easy steps to ensure you are shopping for your bra size:
Measurement number 1: Measure under your bust line.
Put on your best-fitting, unpadded, under wire bra. Measure underneath the bust line and make sure to measure tightly. Be sure the tape measure is straight across your back.
The general rule of thumb for all measuring is: less than ½”, round DOWN, more than a ½”, round UP. So if your measurement is 32 ¼”, call it 32. Write this number down. This is measurement number 1.
Band Size: Calculate your band size.
Sponsor Links (what's this?) Bra InformationUse our Bra Fitting Guide to Find your Perfect eck out Women's Style, Fashion, and Clothing Tips at WEtv.com.WEtv.comIf measurement 1 is UNDER 33 inches, add 5 inches. If this number is odd, round up to the next EVEN number. If measurement 1 is OVER 33 inches, add 3 inches. If this number is odd, round up to the next EVEN number. Write this EVEN number down. This is your band size.
Measurement number 2: Measure over the bust line
Measure over the biggest point of your bust line. This is a looser measurement. Make sure the tape measure is straight. Write this number down. This is measurement number 2.
