Wedding Lingerie from Ribbons and Pearls

Lingerie and Petticoats

On our Lingerie pages you will find all the structure you need to make your dress look perfect. A Strapless Bra will go perfectly with that strapless dress. A long-line bra or Bustier will give you perfect uplift and smooth your midriff when seated. A longer Torselette will give a flatter tummy and smooth the hips. All come with matching briefs in various different styles. Wedding underwear provides the support you need but is still very sexy - check out our selection and remember to closely review our size charts as fittings may vary from your usual bra size. If found to be too tight, a full back extension insert will match the hooks and eyes and give up to an extra 3 inches across the back. Just call Viv at the shop on 01628 530120 if you have any concerns. We can exchange sizes but we do not offer refunds unless the product is faulty.

A petticoat can add fullness to your dress and lift the folds of the skirt away from your feet, making it easier to walk. It will lift your skirt length depending on the fullness of the net, often reducing the need to have the dress shortened. We have a petticoat to suit every dress from fishtail to fairy princess. Check out our full selection.
