What does “wear your foundations” mean? not to be confused with make-up foundation.

Answer by NoAngeIlllI
“Foundations” is an old-fashioned word for “undergarments”. Ladies were supposed to wear the proper foundations beneath their clothing (not only for propriety’s sake, but also since the appropriate foundations make your clothes fit greater.)

If I had been finding married and wanted the proper “specialty” undergarments to wear with my wedding gown, I would search for a shop that sold women’s foundations. Of course, those stores do not ONLY sell wedding-sort undergarments. They also sell everyday items, such as slips, bras, etc. But, they do, usually, specialize in items and sizes that it may well be challenging to come across elsewhere.
