Underpinnings

What you wear under a wedding gown is almost as important as the gown. A well fitted bustier (long line bra) is usually a must. We have done years of research (purchasing all kinds) and have the best ever (our brides tell us this). They are pretty and comfortable and give a great look to the bodice of the gown. We have sizes 32A to 48F and all sizes in between (usually in stock). 32-36 A, B and C's are padded.

We also usually use hoops rather than petticoats (commonly called slips) as they keep the gown away from your legs and are easier to walk in. Whether it is Winter or Summer, these gowns can be hot because they are usually made from man made material which doesn't breathe. We have one, two and three ring hoops that fit under most gowns. They are a cotton blend and we have them in-stock from a "regular" to 3X and can have them specially made and shipped to Salt Lake in three days. We get thank you notes for our "built-in air conditioners."

We have special petticoats (slips) for mermaid and straighter gowns. You name it, we can get it. We do sell our underpinnings to brides who have not purchased their gowns here--just not on Saturdays. Call for appointment and bring your gown for proper fit.

When you go for your fitting for alterations you need to take EVERYTHING you will be wearing under your gown including bustier, hoop/slip and shoes. Most seamstresses will not see you without them. We refer to several seamstresses we have had good luck with and are not usually backed up more than two weeks. Their charges are reasonable and they can add sleeves, lace-up backs or make jackets for the bride.
