If you're going to wear a white dress, having undergarments in a nude or skin tone color shows less than those in white. A full slip is a good idea, and if possible, take those items with you and wear pantyhose/stockings and bring the shoes you plan to wear under the dress. Same goes for trying on formal gowns. Makes things a lot easier. If you don't have the items, many stores will let you try those on at the same time, and you can be sure there are no seams or anything else showing through.
If you're handy with a sewing machine, or have family members, friends, or sisters/alumns that are, you can make a dress. Or check with a local seamstress/dressmaker, as a group you may be able to buy fabric in bulk and save money, plus your dress will fit perfectly for you.
