    I am having the hardest time finding beautiful, affordable, wedding night lingerie that looks good on me. I want white. Victoria's Secret was a bust. Fredericks was too trashy. The department stores don't have much white.

    I want a corset and a garter and I want to spend less than $150.

    Agent Provacteur had great stuff but it was $500 for a corset!

    Any suggestions? What are y'all wearing? Where did you get it? How much did it cost?

    I've been looking, too. Nordstroms online has some selection. Good luck!

    Okay. I will check Nordstrom online. Thanks! Any other suggestions? I think I'm going to Hollywood Blvd. It should be interesting.

    I posted on the boudoir thread a few of my outfits. My middle outfit is the white corset from Fredericks, BUT i bought the undies from victoria secret b/c i thought the undies that came with it were tacky. Some of their stuff isn't exactly weddingy (it is really inexpensive) but i didn't think my corset was trashy once it was on right. Make sure the ladies tie it for you properly. Then you just snap it together from the front. Its the undies that make it icky! What about this pretty white nightie from Oscar De la Renta? It's really pretty! I have one =]

    Have you tried local boutiques?  I got mine from a popular local place and I LOVED it.  Equally importantly, so did DH Wink

    Hmm, I was going to say AP too, their current Bidal collection is to die for! Have you tried Coco de Mer? They're one of my favourite places to buy my lingerie, especially for special occasions.

    Brand wise, Fleur T is fabulous for delicate silk and lace pieces, as are Lake & Stars and Letters of Marque. Classically sexy are Damaris, Lascivious, Fifi Chachnil, Chantal Thomass, Myla, ID Sarieri, Madame V and La Perla. For cuter pieces, Mimi Holiday, Princess Tam Tam, Alice & Astrid, Elle Macpherson and Aubade.

    What Katie Did, Fresh Foundations and Kiss Me Deadly are the best for vintage inspired lingerie.

    If you want a corset that fits, it really would be best to have one custom made - much much comfier, and it's a lasting investment! Velda Lauder, Vollers and Faiy GothMother are super for off-the-rack, however. With lingerie, I think you really get what you pay for - stay well away from Fredericks or VS, they have plastic boning and hook and eye closures, which certainly wont last.

    I adore this simple number, http://www.fairefroufrou.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=31&products_id=1733&osCsid=ef534a1a8376dbc1ed1739394765ea3a
    Although you can always dress up something cheaper with these ADORABLE knickers! http://www.agentprovocateur.com/collections/bridal/wedding-bell-white.html

    Good luck, I hope you find something that you love, and that makes you feel super!

    Well, I blog about lingerie online. I have to say one of my favorite (and most affordable sites I have come in contact with is Myriad Lingerie: http://www.Myriadlingerie.com). They have a beautiful corset my friend got for her wedding pictured here: http://www.myriadlingerie.com/Jacquard_Tapestry_Corset.htm. Hope that helps! Congrats!
