An advantage to wearing latex dresses is their sleek, body-hugging appearance that complements every curve.

Therefore, we have compiled a reputable guide to wearing proper garments and accessories under a latex dress for all occasions.
The Importance of Choosing the Appropriate Garments

Gently clinging to materials and generally designed to complement the body’s shape, a garment can present several possibilities. This makes it especially important to consider the support and smoothness of a garment; also, the garment preferably does not bunch, roll and is not subtle against the latex material – assessing garment fit and constructing lines as concerned. An unfit garment can disrupt the appearance (seamlessly fashion) of sleekness, foretold of dramatic, liquid latex allure.
Go Seamless for a Flawless Look
To achieve a flawless look underneath your latex dress, seamless undergarments are essential. Regular underwear that has seams or lace will likely show through the tight, glossy surface of the latex, creating lines and bumps that can be visually distracting. Seamless underwear, bras, and shapewear provide a smooth finish so the latex can do what it does best, create a second-skin finish. Just be sure to look for seamless underwear that has some support, especially in the bust and hip areas.
Panties: When choosing the right pair of panties, seamless thongs or seamless briefs will be your best option. Make sure to choose a color that is nude or very similar to your skin tone. Thong underwear will totally eliminate any visible panty line while the seamless briefs will offer more coverage without showing through the latex.
Bras: If your latex dress is strapless or backless, you may need to choose a strapless or backless bra. Seamless lightly padded bras will offer you the most support without messing up the smooth look of the dress. If your fashion latex clothing has built-in support, you can skip the bra, especially if there is a tighter bust seam that will provide a natural lift.
Shapewear for Supporting Extra Smoothumess
Shapewear can be your best friend under a latex dress if you are after a more, streamlined shape or wish to smooth out any natural lines. The tightness of latex may sometimes highlight certain areas, therefore, it might benefit you to wear shapewear for a little bit of compression that allows for smothering smoothing.

Adhesive Bras and Nipple Covers for Strapless Dresses
If your latex dress is strapless, off-the-shoulder, or has a deeper plunging neckline, an adhesive bra or nipple covers could be the best choice instead of a traditional bra. An adhesive bra can lift and shape and the nipple cover will keep you covered, all of which is perfect for a latex dress that is daring.
When purchasing an adhesive bra, ensure it is skin friendly and reusable. Holding the dress close, the latex material may cause some friction rash. Silicon-based or fabrics based adhesive bras are popular for most, dress well, and are reusable.
Going Braless: When It Works Best
