No Last Minute "Under-Gown” Issues

Wedding Undergarment Suggestions

You’ve spent tons of time shopping for that perfect gown, right? However, for the gown to look “just right” you should also spend some time looking for the right undergarment too.

One of the most important articles of clothing for a bride, which is sometimes overlooked, is what is worn underneath the gown. I have seen many brides in a panic, just before the wedding, because they thought that what they wore underneath their gown would be an easy step...and it isn't always that simple. Consider the following when choosing your bridal undergarments.

Problems such as a low back gown, strapless, or even the material used for the gown such as silk, could pose an underwear nightmare. You don't want bra clips, straps or even a lace bra under a chiffon gown giving you unnecessary lines and seams. Give yourself plenty of time to find the right solution. Have a fitting and don't always go with what the fitter has in stock, (it's sometimes overpriced), but do find out your exact size. If you do find a perfect fit and have time to shop, you can save money by knowing the exact brand of bra or corset and shop online. If you're going to use the internet and have not tried sizes before, make sure you read the return policy from that site so that you're not stuck with an item that doesn't work. (I've had Brides buy two different sizes from us and just return the one that doesn't work.) Always return the garment before your ceremony so that you don't need to think about it again.

For you “shapely” brides that are a bit top heavy, give yourself ample time to find the right fit. Large or out of the ordinary sizes such as a 40C or 32DD can be a problem to locate quickly. You’ll want to have enough time to try on the garment and be sure it suits the dress and is going to be comfortable.

The best advice is to start early, and give yourself plenty of time...and don't forget your Honeymoon Lingerie!

This is concerning your article called ?Store Owner Pet Peeves.? First, I think that it should be called ?Store Owner Complaints About Manufacturers? because ?store owner pet peeves? sounds more like the problems I have in running the boutique, not with dealing with manufacturers.

As far as service is concerned, there are little problems here and there. Some companies (that will remain nameless) have a three-day processing policy. But if I really need an item fast and I want it shipped ?next day? express, that means it ships out in three days! Great policy?and of course there is an extra charge for this. Why do manufacturers even use the statement ?always in stock? when they know it?s not?

I experienced a problem just the other day when a shipment came in from an order I placed three months ago ... and they shipped it three-day express!

So when I called they said they were sorry and I received a credit. But I told them that I had just ordered the same items a few days ago and had already received them. They said that I ?should have known that there was a back-order.? Oh yes ... and I?m supposed to predict when you?re going to ship it to me.

So I asked her, ?How am I supposed to know it was on back-order when it isn?t written on the original invoice that ?these items are on back-order?? She said, ?You would have to deduct the items you did receive, and what?s left goes on back-order.? Sounds to me like they should simply state what is on back-order for that invoice on that invoice ... so I can cancel it! Because after that there is no control.

With another company I bought over $1,000 at the Orlando show this past year. Most of those items I didn?t get until May, which is ?out of season? for me in Florida. They were nice enough to allow me to postpone my payments for the delayed merchandise.

The one thing that really irks me is when a company sends me a beautiful catalog full of gorgeous lingerie (at least I think it is) but it?s all drawings!

That?s great; why don?t I just hire some models and a photographer just so I can sell your line on the Internet! It amazes me how some companies that could be very successful simply do not want photographs. In this day and age of high tech and the Internet, good photos are the only way to be successful. Then there are companies that have the good photos but they ?can?t be used on the Internet.? That is an even a more ignorant policy! That?s what model releases are for! You pay the models so you can use the photos at will. How about the policy of ?you can use the pictures but not their faces??

All the information I wrote is true and actually did occur. The names of the manufacturers have been removed for the sake of them not being humiliated.

I can go on and on...I have 18 years lingerie experience, and I'm very observant.
