Seamless Underwear

Your wedding dress might be the biggest fashion show-stopper of the day, but what you wear underneath is just as important. This is especially true if your dress is form-fitting or features sheer fabric. This is where seamless underwear comes to the rescue. It's designed to keep visible panty lines at bay, so it's the last thing you'll worry about during the big day. From high-waisted shapewear to sexy thongs, there are lots of options to choose from, so it can sometimes feel overwhelming. With our help, you'll find something that works with your dress style and help you feel supported, comfortable, and confident.

When researching the best seamless underwear for brides, we looked at various styles, fabrics, and designs. We carefully considered construction, special features (like tummy control and period-proof lining), and comfort.

Our Top Picks

When searching for our best overall pick, we looked for a seamless underwear style that has it all. The Spanx Undie-tectable Lace Hi-Hipster Panty was our clear winner, available in several neutral, skin tone-matching shades. This seamless underwear is designed with sexy sheer lace fabric that (as the name suggests) goes undetectable under wedding dresses. Plus, it has a thicker waistband that smooths and offers a little extra tummy support. It’s also a durable, breathable material and comfortable for extended wear.

Material: Nylon, elastane, cotton | Size Range: XS–XL

We suggest purchasing this pack from Amazon if you’re looking for a budget-friendly seamless underwear option. The collection consists of seven seamless undies made from lightweight and durable nylon with great stretch. In addition to not showing under wedding dresses, these ultra-affordable panties won't roll down or slide around. It comes in various colors, including a range of nude skin tones.

Material: Nylon, spandex | Size Range: S–XL

Depending on your dress style, you might prefer more high-waisted seamless underwear on your big day. We love the EBY Seamless Highwaisted because it comes in a fantastic size range, with tons of fun colors to choose from, including more bridal-appropriate hues. The underwear is made from stretchy nylon with a breathable cotton lining and boasts good coverage without the risk of visible panty lines.

Material: Nylon, spandex, cotton | Size Range: XS–4XL

We have worn Cosabella thongs for years, and this version is one of our favorite seamless styles. Constructed from a form-fitting polyamide material with 20 percent stretch, the thong wraps perfectly around the body without rolling, sliding, or showing through fabric. The high-waist style also feels more supportive and comfortable to wear all day.

Material: Polyamide, elastane, cotton | Size Range: S/M, L/XL

If you want more coverage but want to keep panty lines at bay, the Parade High Rise Brief is the way to go. Made from a mix of stretchy nylon and breathable cotton, it's ultra-smooth, provides good coverage, stays in place, and supports you as you walk down the aisle.

Material: Cotton, nylon, spandex | Size Range: XS–3XL

A combination of bikini and boy-short underwear styles, the hipster offers the best of both worlds with good coverage and a slightly cheeky backside. Our top pick for this category is a classic hipster in a no-show, breathable cotton fabric. We love it because it has raw edges that lay flat along the body and won't show up under a form-fitting wedding dress.

Material: Cotton, elastane | Size Range: S–L

SKIMS Fits Everybody Micro Thong

Slip dresses and underwear can be tricky due to the silky fabric and fit. However, you can achieve a seamless look with the right pair of undies. Our top pick is this SKIMS style designed to act as a second skin (the T-back thong style that goes undetected under slip dresses). The thong also comes in many great colors, including an excellent range of skin tones.

Material: Polyamide, elastane | Size Range: XXS–4XL

These period-proof briefs from Modibodi are like magic under a wedding gown. Despite their heavy overnight absorbency (equivalent to 3-4 tampons), they disappear under clothing, including tighter-fitting wedding dresses. In addition to their absorbency and seamless style, the underwear is also size-inclusive, ranging from extra small to 6XL.

Material: Recycled nylon, spandex, wool, polyester, polyamide | Size Range: XS–6XL

Get that full-coverage feeling you love when you slip into these microfiber briefs from BALI. These undies are designed from durable nylon with a comfortable high-waisted fit and seamlessly cover the backside. In addition to their style and fit, they're moisture-wicking and ultra-stretchy, making them an excellent choice for all-day wear.

Material: Nylon | Size Range: M/L, 3XL, 4XL

Lace can be seamless, too—and we are obsessed with our Her Highness Lace Brief from Bloomers. The cheeky high-waisted underwear is made with stretch lace material with scalloped edges that help the lace look discreet under a wedding dress. Because of the sheer fabric, the underwear breathes easily, keeping you feeling fresh.

Material: Nylon, spandex, cotton | Size Range: XS–2XL

For seamless shapewear, we reach for our Classic Control Briefs from Commando. Available in several nude hues, these are the perfect fit for under a wedding dress. They are designed with moderate compression for lightweight shaping without visible panty lines. In addition, they're breathable, soft, stretchy, and have seamless full coverage.

Material: Nylon, spandex, cotton | Size Range: XS–3XL

These ultra-smooth seamless undies have raw-cut edges that are virtually invisible under even the tightest clothes. Perfect for days when you want to feel like you're wearing nothing, the low-rise, cheeky cut has minimal coverage for your belly and behind.

Material: Polyamide, elastane, cotton | Size Range: XXS–XXL

What to Look for in Seamless Underwear

  • Comfort: You'll want to ensure the seamless underwear for brides you choose is comfortable. That means no tugging, snagging, or pinching when you move. Order several underwear styles before the wedding, allowing enough time to test them out.
  • Dress Compatibility: After finding the most comfortable seamless underwear for brides, you'll want to ensure your selected style is compatible with your dress. Seamless underwear is essential if your dress is form-fitting or made of a clinging material, like silk. If you're wearing a slinky gown or something with a tighter fit, you might want a pair of seamless underwear with extra support. But if you're wearing a slip dress, seamless underwear for brides with less fabric might be better, like a thong. Brides rocking a two-piece ensemble may want a low-rise seamless underwear style.
FAQ
  • What is seamless underwear?

    Unlike traditional underwear, seamless underwear is made without seams along the edges. Seamless underwear provides a smooth, sleek appearance under form-fitting clothing and minimizes visible panty lines.

  • Does seamless underwear show lines?

    If you select seamless underwear that is well made and fits, you should not see any underwear lines. Getting the proper size is crucial, as a too-small or too-large pair could show lines or ripples.

  • Can you wear seamless underwear with a silk dress?

    Seamless underwear is an excellent choice to wear under a silk dress, particularly one that is form-fitting. Since silk is generally smooth and lightweight, panty lines from traditional underwear are easy to see under the fabric.
