What Lies Beneath
Email to a friendPrint this article
There comes a time in every girl’s life when she opens that top drawer and realizes that it just doesn’t make the grade, the three pack of cotton briefs for 10 dollars doesn’t send the right message anymore.
The Chloe dress and the Marni coat look great, but what’s underneath all those labels? Now I’m not talking spiritually here, although that is important, (something perhaps for another issue) I mean literally what’s underneath? At no point is this more burning a question that in the months leading up to your wedding. Once engaged a girl can’t help but ponder over what to wear underneath, whether its for the wedding, the wedding night or the honeymoon. There are few other times in a woman’s life when justification for spending on lingerie is so obvious, after all it might serve as a wardrobe for much of the honeymoon.
La Perla is a nice place to start. Well known for their beautiful fabrics and sexy, sophisticated cuts, this is the premiere Italian line for the Armani wearing crowd. It’s also full of perfect options for the wedding day.
Agent Provocateur out of Paris offers something a bit more, well… provocative. It bridges the gap between high end lines like La Perla and naughty Fredericks of Hollywood… Perfect for those who want something with a little kick for under that Roland Mouret dress.
On Faire FrouFrou look for Elle McPherson Intimates, Cosabella, C. Gilson and Dessous. But more importantly, here you can find the ¼ cup bra. Trust us, the man - or men - in your life will appreciate it.
Tanga is another line from Italy worth checking out, they have some beautiful, sophisticated pieces to wear under all your Italian labels.
But let it be said that the real fun can be found at http://www.kikidm.com/shop/home.php” title="Kiki Montparnasse">Kiki Montparnasse a store with so much sex appeal, and so much glamour you’ll bookmark it even if you always go commando. The lingerie and accessories from Kiki warrant an extra week of honeymoon alone time.
The truth is, there’s no reason to wait for something or someone special to build a wardrobe that feels good underneath it all. Even if no one else ever sees it, just knowing you’re wearing something so luxurious underneath can boost your self esteem, whether you’re sitting in a boardroom full of men or cleaning grape jelly up off the floor.
When it comes to great lingerie, there’s nothing like a good recommendation. If you have a favorite boutique or site, let us know.

Perfect! I’m getting married in Sept and need some HELP! La Perla is usually out of my price range. Maybe Agent Provocateur is less expensive? and more sassy? Marty
