If you’re like most girls, you wouldn’t even call the undergarments you’ve been wearing most of your life lingerie—let alone have a solid idea of where to buy such a thing.

But now you find yourself in a position where you have to get some tricky contraption to smooth and support and camouflage and lift, well, everything underneath your wedding dress—and also score a few special items to take along on your honeymoon.

Luckily, the Philadelphia area doesn’t lack for treasure-chest-like lingerie shops, or experts who know how to find and fit exactly what you need. You simply have to know where to look.
