Bridal Basque

Wearing a basque has always been considered a little bit daring or naughty and by some as not an item of lingerie that they would consider wearing as part of the bridal lingerie.
Why ever not?

Bridal basques are made from top quality materials, which as part of the Carnival range of bridal basques means gorgeous chopper bar lace or sumptuous satin, which exude superiority over less luxurious underwear.

Bridal basques are not worn, merely, to titillate your groom, but, perform a vital role in your wedding attire.

Basques have evolved from the inhibiting corsets of days gone by and carry out a similar function to what this item of lingerie was created for. A bridal basque supports the bust with underwiring, draws in the waist with gentle boning (in a Victorian corset this would have been not so gentle and would have used real whale bone) and helps to narrow the hips, giving an hour glass silhouette to the bridal frame.

A bridal basque in the Carnival range, available from Sophie & Grace, is ideal for a wedding gown that is worn off the shoulder or is, indeed, strapless or a deep décolleté or a low back. The very design of a bridal basque prevents bridal lingerie being on display to all manner of people, including wedding guests.

The boning and underwiring of a bridal basque can improve not only, the bride’s silhouette but also her stance because she will stand straighter and taller because of the confidence that the extra support, offered by the basque, gives her.

Sophie & Grace’s Carnival Bridal Basque Sets are available in a choice of white or ivory, because the very last thing a bride wants is her bridal lingerie showing through her gown.

Bridal Basques from Sophie & Grace are a luxury item that has to prove its functionality to modern brides. A bridal basque set must look good, must offer support where needed, must not show through our gown material, must feel good against our skin and the Carnival range from Sophie & Grace certainly earns its place for matching all of those requirements and if your groom happens to find your bridal basque set sexy, surely, that is as much of a compliment to its wearer as to the bridal lingerie itself.
