Do you think that bra size fits you?

To all the future brides, I have a sudden question.

"Can you confidently say that your bra size fits perfectly, for example, underbust is XX cm, and overbust is XX cm?"

While many may say "I think it's about this size," how many can confidently state those measurements?

According to data from the innerwear maker Wacoal, which surveyed 400,000 women about their honest opinions on bras and panties in their survey "Bra and Panty 100 - The Honest Truth About Lingerie That You Want to Ask But Can't,"

64% of respondents admitted to having made mistakes when choosing innerwear, showing that more than half of women have faced this issue.

Especially regarding bra sizes, it's common to hear someone say, "After getting measured by a professional, I found out I was two cup sizes larger than I thought!"

The survey results indicated that over 70% of women have different sizes or cups on the left and right sides...!

Bridal innerwear should be chosen by professionals!

If it’s difficult to find the perfect fit for a bra you wear regularly, it’s even harder to select bridal innerwear for a once-in-a-lifetime purchase, the wedding attire.

Since it significantly affects the bride's appearance, I recommend not relying on your assumptions but having professionals measure you in-store to ensure you choose the right items!＊

With a professional measuring you, there’s no worry about making mistakes, and it will give you more confidence in your dress♩

➡ What is a bridal innerwear fitting like?

By the way, do you know the roles of each part of bridal innerwear?

Bridal innerwear consists of a bra, waist nipper, and girdle, each serving specific functions, so let’s introduce them one by one!＊

➡ Check out before-and-after images wearing bridal innerwear!

Role of Bridal Innerwear① Bra

First, let’s introduce the bra. The bridal innerwear bra is mainly a 1/2 cup with removable straps!＊

Most everyday bras are 3/4 cups. The 3/4 coverage helps to gather any volume that tends to flow towards the sides and creates a more refined silhouette.

However, bridal innerwear usually has a 1/2 cup design with removable straps, as it prevents the innerwear from being visible from the neckline of the dress.

Some brides may feel a bit anxious about a 1/2 cup...

But the bridal innerwear bras are designed with a sturdy foundation and wires, so even with a smaller surface area like the 1/2 cup, they firmly support the bust,

making it less likely to shift while wearing a heavy dress.

Additionally, the strong wires clearly define the bust line, creating a beautifully rounded bust silhouette♡

Role of Bridal Innerwear② Waist Nipper

The waist nipper is an item that wraps around the waist after wearing the bridal innerwear bra.

It contains metal stays, known as bones, that curve to shape a beautiful waistline.＊

It also supports the bra position, keeping it held high!

Recently, it seems some brides choose not to wear waist nippers, but having one helps prevent the dress from sagging or becoming misshaped, allowing for a beautiful appearance!＊

Role of Bridal Innerwear③ Girdle

Lastly, let’s introduce the girdle. The girdle plays a role in beautifully shaping the lower body!＊

Brides who choose flowing dresses often skip wearing a girdle,

but if the upper body is supported with a bra and nipper while the lower body isn’t, it can create an uneven balance of pressure on the body, making overall stability shaky.

Wearing a girdle allows a soft inner fabric to hold in the abdomen and lift the hips. It stabilizes the lower body, maintaining a beautifully three-dimensional line while providing balance throughout the body!＊

It's an essential item that supports the body under the weight of a heavy dress, even if it’s not visible!◎
