What to Wear to the After Party?

August 17th, 2009 @ 3:59 pm by Mrs. Cowboy Boot

My dress doesn’t call for much in the department of underthings. A simple pair of undies, and that’s about it. Even if it did, most supportive undergarments aren’t the most desirable in the bedroom, anyway.

A quick scan of Nordstrom’s lingerie department led my eye to one particular rack: Elle Macpherson Intimates. Sure, they aren’t full get-ups. They’re bras and undies adorned with lace, see-through mesh, and all things girly and frilly. To put it more simply, they’re plain old pretty.

Unfortunately, they didn’t have my size in the one matching set I liked, but I once I got home, my internet search revealed so much more than what the store contained. First of all, these aren’t as pricey as, say, Agent Provocateur. And, not that I need it, but these come in sizes up to E for girls with what Bruschetta would call Beefsteak-size ladies. Check out these adorable sets:

Infatua

Infatuation Contour Bra ($80)

Macpherson also has a boudoir line that’s even more frilly and beautiful than her regular bras and undies:

boudoir

Boudoir Contour Bra (On sale from $130 to $39)

Boudoir01

Boudoir Lace Thong (On sale from $55 to $16.50)

Dentell

Dentelle Underwire Bra and Thong ($65 for bra)

Go to her website and you’ll really see how gorgeous the detailing on these pieces is including pearls, lace, and ruffles.

What did I order? Her Artistry set in Jet Black. (Good thing Mr. CB never checks Weddingbee.)

Artistr01

Artistry Jet Contour Bra and Culottes ($100 for the set)

Did you buy lingerie for the “after party”? Any suggestions?

not to be too intrusive, but are you going to wear that under the actual dress? I can’t imagine I’d have enough time to change from my wedding dress skivvies into different lingerie before the “after party” ;)

True story: after a very boozy brunch, my honey and I wandered into Agent Provacateur. Boy that was an expensive mistake! Still need to find some fun underthings for the, uh, after party. Love these ideas!

@Miss Bear Cub: Not wearing these under the dress…A quick stop in the bathroom before the, um, after party should suffice, right? And if there’s no time for that when the time comes, they’ll be a fun surprise on the honeymoon.

Ooh, those are some great finds, and it looks like quite the sale is going on. I think there will be a smile on his face.

I think these are great finds! All of my friends who have gotten married say the after party can get get… for lack of a better metaphor, crashed. As in literally they just fell asleep because of how tired they were. Any Mrs. (or Mr’s) have and advice on how to let that not happen? Or is it just inevitable for some?

I got some Bride undies from Victoria’s Secret, and I won’t be wearing a bra. FI is going to love it, plus the fact that one zipper and my dress will fall…. ;)

It definitely didn’t work for me to go and change before the after-party. My dress wasn’t even that big, but I wouldn’t have wanted to wrestle it into the bathroom by myself. Instead we had fun helping each other out of wedding finery and I saved my cute white set for the honeymoon.
