DEAR ABBY: I am getting married, and my fiance's daughters, 19 and 21, are in the wedding party. I have purchased the dresses they are wearing, which are light and flowing. I have told the girls that on the day of the wedding I do not want them wearing thong underwear. The older one then went to her dad and said she didn't want to wear regular underwear. He told her she could wear whatever she wants. I have tried telling them that as young ladies there are times you don't wear thongs, and under a flowing dress is one of them. It's ONE DAY of their lives. How can I get my point across? -- WISE BRIDE IN PHOENIX

DEAR WISE BRIDE: Explain to your fiance exactly why you are concerned about his daughters wearing thong underwear under their bridesmaid dresses and, when you do, be graphic. After that, if he still feels the same, accept it. Then pray no slip-ups occur while they are dancing, and no strong gusts of wind come along when the wedding photos are taken.

My first thought was that a “light” dress would be more likely to show panty lines, which is an argument for thongs, not against. I can’t figure out why OP feels otherwise - she chose the dresses, so if she picked something you can’t dance in without the world becoming your gynecologist, or the venue is so windy that ditto, that’s entirely on her.

right? if the dress would show something private in a g-string, it will show something private in granny knickers. and lots of people would rather expose the skin of their upper thigh than the fabric of their underpants, and I can't say that's particularly outre a call.
