And after making her decision, one excited woman took to Reddit to share images of the dress she’d chosen for her big day.

“I said yes to the dress!” she wrote alongside the snaps.

The picture, which had blurred out her face, showed the woman in a figure-hugging beaded dress, with a fishtail hem and nipped in waist.

However, people in the comments were quick to point out that the woman’s blue underwear was pretty obvious beneath the dress.

“LOL the blue panties,” one wrote.

“Maybe not wear blue panties, even with the lining…although it could be your ‘something blue’….”

“You could go very French and no lining make the panties your blue thing,” another laughed.

“If I looked like that tbh I wouldn’t even go with a lining,” someone else admitted.

“I probably wouldn’t wear blue panties though lol. That dress looks so amazing!!!

“Fits like a glove and I’m sure it will look as amazing with a lining,” another said.

I got married for under £400 – people say I looked ‘beautiful’ in my £20 dress and my man got his ring for £14 from Asos

“You are so sweet! But yeah the blue panties are crazy,” the bride replied.

“I do kinda love how you can see the lining of my legs which is maybe crazy!”

“Girl really though, your CURVES!” another gushed.

“This dress is incredible in its own right but with your body, you deserve to be in a bridal mag!”

“This is stunning – liner or not !!!! How beautiful !!” someone else wrote.

“Idk I kind of like the sheer look just not the blue panties lol,” the woman responded.

Wedding Dress Trends 2024

Sophie Creed, bridal designer and founder of bridal brand e&w Couture shared the most popular wedding dress designs for this year.

Sustainable Chic

Bridal fashion in 2024 is embracing a powerful shift towards sustainability, with brides looking closely at what fabrics are being used to make the dresses.

Many brides are also looking to wear a second-hand dress or a vintage number.

Boho Bliss

The bohemian aesthetic is effortless and laid-back elegance – ideal for relaxed weddings. Whether in a garden, on a beach, or under the stars, the boho trend is also great for nature-inspired weddings.

Couples opting for outdoor venues, and bohemian-inspired dresses with flowing silhouettes, floral lace, and whimsical details with blend in with the natural setting. It’s about bringing the romance of the outdoors into the wedding wardrobe. 

Bohemian-inspired dresses often feature vintage-inspired lace, flowing sleeves, and ethereal details that stand the test of time.

Satin Elegance

Satin wedding dresses are capturing the hearts of brides who appreciate the marriage of modern simplicity and classic luxury.

This trend suits weddings that prioritize an elegant, refined aesthetic, making it an ideal choice for formal celebrations, chic city weddings, or any event where the bride envisions herself in a gown that exudes sophistication and grace.

Bold Romance

Oversized and bold modern showcase a shift in bridal fashion.

This trend is for the bride who dares to be different, breaking away from tradition and embracing a vibrant, contemporary aesthetic on the most important day of her life.

“It’s pretty sexy without the lining too lol!” another agreed.

With the bride replying that while her “fiance would probably think so”, her “older relatives would not”.

She also said that the lining will be nude, as the designer customises it based on the bride’s skin tone.

“There is a part of me that’s like ok this is a scam, you’re selling me half a dress and making me pay to complete it hahaha,” she noted.

And she concluded by reassuring people that the dress “will have a lining”.

Others insisted she should go without a lining, but should perhaps also opt for nude undies
