Bridal fashion has taken a sexy turn in recent years. Designers like Mai Atafo, Toju Foyeh and Aprilbykunbi are redefining the traditional wedding dress with daring cutouts, plunging necklines and curve-hugging styles that leave very little to the imagination.
If you find yourself in love with a sultry silhouette but don't know what to wear under it (hint: your usual bra and panties probably aren't for this), we're here to help. From clingy fabrics to open backs, we've got the perfect answers to your underwear issues.

- Your dress has an ultra-deep V-neckline.
The essential underwear: Look for a bra that has a special cutout in the front to accommodate low necklines. Most likely this bra will have extra support on the side or, in this case, is designed as a bodysuit to make sure that despite the deep dip, everything stays put.

- Your dress is cut close to the body and clings to your tummy area.
The essential underwear: You'll need some shapewear that can smooth and pull in your lower stomach. Look for an underwear with either boy shorts or with a thong bottom to ensure you get a seamless finish.

- Your dress has a strapless neckline.
The essential underwear: A bra with grips on the inside is one possible solution to the elusive slipping strapless bra; another answer is the longline bra. This is a bra that's attached to a corsetlike bodice, which gives it more support against it slipping since it wraps around your waist.

- Your dress fits snugly around your upper body.
The essential: kill the dreaded bulge with an upper-body underwear that will smooth out your back. Look for one that's of light material and flexible, so you can still move around naturally.

- Your dress is extremely formfitting around the hips and thighs.
The essential underwear: Target the problem area with shapewear that falls above the knees. The key is finding a pair that's tight enough to firm up any possible flabby bits and give your figure a smooth finish—without giving you a top that is bogus.

- Your dress has a sexy, open back.
The essential underwear: Your best bet when it comes to a backless gown is a bra that has adhesive cups. Silicone cups will give you the most natural feel, while the nude color will make it nearly invisible. So that is what you should go for.
