What You Should Know Before Trying on Dresses!

Do you care about the color of your pants when going to try on wedding dresses…?

The other day when I went to try on dresses, I just wore black pants without thinking too much, and the black from my pants was showing through the wedding dress...!

I understand that the color of the pants can show through when wearing white fitted skirts or light pink dresses, but I was surprised to find out that it could happen with wedding dresses too.

Brides-to-be, I hope you pay attention to the color of your pants when going to try on dresses!

Which Dresses are Likely to Show the Color of Pants?

✅ Mermaid Dresses

✅ Slender Line Dresses

Designs that emphasize the body's silhouette or fit closely are likely to show the color of the pants.

However, it's actually not just mermaid or slender dresses;

✅ Soft fabrics like georgette or chiffon

✅ Sheer fabrics

✅ Natural silhouette styles

can also potentially reveal the color of your pants.

(The dress I tried on was a simple, natural A-line dress!)

I think a princess-line dress with a large petticoat is unlikely to show the color of the pants, but many wedding dresses are worn without petticoats these days.

So even if you're not planning to wear a mermaid or slender dress when you go try on wedding dresses, it might be safer to avoid dark-colored pants (like black, gray, purple, or red)...!

I feel like few people would wear such dark underwear on the day of dress fitting anyway... But I wrote this article to help minimize any shocks people might experience!

Choose Beige Over White Pants!

Some might think, "If I want to wear pants that are not noticeable, I should go for white!" However, beige, which is closer to skin tone, is less likely to be see-through. A designer told me this.

To avoid the panty line interfering with the dress silhouette, it's recommended to choose either seamless types or a T-back.

(While T-backs may be more seamless, there’s a chance staff can see you while you change, which can be awkward, so I think a regular full-back seamless option might be safer...)

I found seamless shorts for 270 yen (with free shipping) on Rakuten, so if you don’t have any, having one would be very useful ♡

When Going to Try on Dresses, Pay Attention to the Color of Your Pants!

When going to try on dresses,

✅ It's recommended to wear nude pants that are less noticeable

✅ And choose seamless ones that won't interfere with the dress

If you are adamant that you will only try on large silhouette dresses with big petticoats, then you may not need to worry. However, if you think, "I want to try on various dresses first♡," it seems wise to keep an eye on the color of your pants just in case.

Seamless pants are very handy when wearing tight dresses or skirts, and they are more than affordable! If you don’t have one, make sure to purchase one ♡
