I’ll just put this out there: when it comes to my underthings, I tend to choose comfort over style.

I have, ahem, a very ample chest, so I don’t get the opportunity to wear cute, lacy little demi-bras like these:

My bras, unfortunately, look more like this:

Functional, yes. Sexy? Hell no.

My everyday panties aren’t much better. I like the Gilligan & O’Malley boy shorts from Target; they’re lightweight, they come in three different neutral colors, and they’re cheap. I own a ton of these, and I like them, but they are thisclose to being granny panties.

Since I don’t really enjoy lingerie like some other women do, I don’t really think about it too often. But I recently realized that I have two different sets of undies to consider for the wedding day: something to wear under the dress, and something to wear on the wedding night.

Under the dress should be fairly easy. I intend to buy the most comfortable longline bra I can find—hopefully one with magical gravity-defying abilities. (I’m sure this will warrant its own post at some point.) And I’ll probably wear a pair of my trusty Target boy shorts underneath. Totally unsexy, but nobody’s going to see it anyway.

But for the wedding night, well, I’d kind of like to wear something a bit more fun, although our wedding night won’t be that big of a deal; I mean, we’ve lived together for five years (and you can draw your own conclusions from that statement if you like). I wouldn’t be surprised if our wedding night consisted of getting home and passing out on our bed without taking our shoes off. But maybe, if I have something fun to change into, we’ll try to stay awake for a little while! Wink.

I know that I’ll have to stay away from skimpy sets like this:

It’s just not me. I’d feel like I was in a costume. And furthermore, it wouldn’t be flattering on me. I’m soft—that would just cut into me at all of the wrong places. Totally not pretty.

So I need to look for something that would skim my body instead. Maybe something a bit more modest, but not too much.

A few months ago, I bought a gorgeous robe from Etsy seller plumprettysugar. This thing is fabulous, and I bought it with ideas of wearing it for the wedding night, or maybe for a boudoir shoot if I decided to have one.

But it was so fabulous that I had to wear it right away. And now I wear it around the house all the time, even when I’m sprawled on the couch watching TV or blogging. That doesn’t mean that I can’t wear it for post-wedding activities, and I’m still considering it as I feel cute and sexy every time I put it on. But I want to keep my options open.

Even if I do wear it, I’ll want something to wear underneath it. Again, something that skims the figure. Like maybe this?

Sexy, romantic, delicate, kind of old-timey. I think I love it.

What are you planning on wearing under your wedding dress and for your wedding night?
