There's a reason why brides chose their very best friends to be bridesmaids and it's not because they'll complement them on the stage, I mean, altar. It's because they need someone who they won't mind seeing them at their most vulnerable, and I don't mean when they're having second thoughts. A bride might look the most beautiful she ever has on her wedding day, but it's a different story when her massively expensive dress is pulled up to her ears, and her lacey knicks are on the floor.
Because that's the thing about a lot of wedding dresses: they are very hard to go to the loo in.
But don't let that put you off buying the meringue of your dreams - Bridal Buddy to the rescue!

The idea is flippin' genius. All you do is put the slip on under your wedding skirt, ball the skirt into the slip and secure it with the drawstring.
Like so:
