Can’t find the perfect undies for the big day? Michelle Mone OBE from Ultimo offers bridal lingerie advice to brides-to-be…
If you’re an HOURGLASS shape
“Ladies lucky enough to have the hourglass shape should choose a body or some basque-style bridal lingerie. Bodies and Basques smooth and sculpt the silhouette but still offers the support and cleavage of your favourite plunge bra!”
Michelle recommends…
- Ultimo Instant Body Fixer £45.00
- Ultimo Backless Body £42.00/46.00
- Adore Moi by Ultimo Garland Basque £35.00 (exclusive to Debenhams)
If you’re a PEAR shape
“Pear-shaped ladies really benefit from the help of control short bridal lingerie. No matter if you’re a size 8 or 18, the shorts will not only slim down your bottom half but also sculpt and smooth giving you the curves you’ve always dreamed of! Or if you’re after something a bit sexier, a bra with a shoulder detail can balance out bottom-heavy beauties!”

If you’re an APPLE shape
“If you carry your weight around the middle, I’d suggest going for a basque or a high-waisted short-type of bridal lingerie. There are so many sexy styles out there so you won’t need to change your underwear for the evening!”
Michelle recommends…
- Ultimo Black Label Bridal Basque £51.00
- Ultimo Black Label Bridal Satin Thong £16.00
- Adore Moi by Ultimo Garland Bra £25.00 (exclusive to Debenhams)
If you’re an ATHLETIC shape
“Ladies with an athletic shape should opt for bridal lingerie with intricate details such as pleats, bows and frills, or a cropped bra-let to give the illusion of a feminine shape.”
Michelle recommends…
- Ultimo Black Label Bridal Satin Multi-way Bra £36.00
- Ultimo Black Label Bridal Satin French Knicker £21.00
- Ultimo Bridal Low Back Strapless £36.00
If you have a FLAT CHEST
“There is no excuse not to be flaunting a fabulous cleavage on your wedding day. Go for a bra with gel and a low plunge. At Ultimo we put silicone gel into a range of our bras, which give the look of between 1 and 2 cup sizes more there are. Their are so many cleavage enhancing options out there!”
Michelle recommends…
- Ultimo OMG Bra £28.00
- Ultimo Black Label Bridal Satin Multi-way Bra £36.00

If you have a BIGGER BUST
“Those blessed with an ample bust, fear not. Many bridal lingerie collections go up to a G cup. The key for those with a larger bust is support and uplift. I’d recommend popping into a store and trying a range of styles to see which feels the most comfortable. There’s nothing worse than seeing a bride spill out of her dress.”
