Small and larger wedding boutiques are the best option to get reasonably priced options on the high-street. This will also ensure that a specialist dress consultant can guide you on the best option to get for your dress. Wedding shops will normally stock one brand of underskirt or petticoat, so it is worth comparing prices before buying.
If you are opting for a sheath or slim a-line wedding dress and just need a slip, it is recommended to shop for these in larger department stores, such as Marks and Spencer (UK) and Macy’s (USA), where prices will be much cheaper.
Where possible, combine underskirt browsing when shopping for your wedding dress. Do remember that you will need your underskirt and bridal shoes for your wedding dress fittings.
