What to wear under..

I went to do alterations on my dress the other day, and while I was standing there under the lights my thighs were sweating sooo bad. I have about 6 or 7 layers to my dress, so its going to get pretty hot. I should also mention my wedding is in Texas on October 12th, and an outside ceremony. The temperature in Texas around that time is typically 25-30. I didn't think about this while trying my dress on in February, as it was cold and I didn't sweat while it was on. Other than taping ice packs to my thighs (haha) any suggestion on what I can wear under my dress?

    I think I’ll try the spanx/biker shorts! That seems to be the top recommendation!

    Not sure about the shape of your dress, but I wore a hoop skirt crinoline underneath my ballgown with spanx shorts. It was still insanely hot, but at least I had airflow down there.

    I agree with the other ladies, shape wear or shorts.

    Bring a cloth with water to keep you cool throughout the day as well!

    I agree with Bianca! Bike shorts, or spanx or some type of long short to suck up any sweat and prevent rubbing.

    I will be taking Biana's advice here too, as my wedding is in October of next year!

    I had a similar dilemma with my dress! I had only tried it on in store (obviously), and didn't consider how many layers I had (six). I ended up wearing just panties and nothing else underneath, but I'm not sure I would recommend it. My thighs were sweating SO MUCH. I was drenched by the time I walked down the aisle (we did our pictures for 2.5 hours prior to the ceremony outdoors), and my layers were getting caught up in my dress. It was not my finest moment and really interrupted that once-in-a-lifetime experience.

    I would honestly suggest maybe wearing some shapewear or bike shorts if you're scared about sweat and your legs sticking together. It might sound ridiculous, but at least you won't be sticking to your dress!

    ALSO, it was approximately 30 degrees on my wedding day.
