Short answer
The bride should wear something comfortable and easy to remove, such as a button-up shirt or a robe with loose trousers. A button-up front is best because it lets you get dressed without pulling anything over your hair or makeup.
Comfort and practicality matter most on the morning of the wedding. A button-up shirt, such as a men's style shirt or a soft blouse, is ideal because you can slip it off without disturbing your hair or makeup. Pair it with loose joggers, leggings or shorts. A robe is also popular, especially if you are having photos taken while getting ready.
Avoid anything that pulls over your head, because that can smudge makeup or flatten hair. Also avoid anything too tight or with fiddly fastenings, as you will be moving around and may need to change quickly. If you are having your hair done, a shirt with a wide neckline or a wrap style is easier to remove.
Think about the temperature. If you are getting ready in a cool room, add a cardigan or a hoodie. If it is warm, a light robe is enough. Some brides like to wear a personalised robe or pyjamas for photos, but that is optional. The key is to feel relaxed and able to move freely.
