So, have I mentioned I'm getting married soon? Well, I am - I know fellas, you're just too late!
I have the necessary structured bra in a plain-Jane neutral color for under my (fabulous) dress. I have the bog-standard beige seamless knickers for under the dress. But that can't be my wedding night stuff though, can it? NO, of course not - it has to be corsets, suspenders and the like...
This boutique in Newtownards offers quite a nice range of bridal underwear for the big day - although mostly whites and creams and quite small sizes on display. The lady working there was very friendly and advised me to start looking now and that if I saw anything I liked she would see me on a Thursday night for a private fitting and that she can order any size in.
Some of the corsets were very expensive, one corset alone was £149.00 - wow! The lady saw the look on my face and continued to explain that this was a French set and special. She then pulled out the cheaper, but just as beautiful, set for me to look at. I liked it all but I was just browsing.
I will make an appointment and try on a few sets soon. I find all 'fittings' humiliating but the lady seems nice and I guess it has to be done. Wish me luck and no peeking. read more
