How does mother of the bride look slim?

The A-line cut will make the legs seem longer and your body look slimmer. If you want to wear a dress that hits just above or below the knee, go for one with side pleats or vertical panels.

What do you wear under a wedding dress for your stomach?

Your wedding day is no time for bunching, clinging, or underwear lines. For the most fitted gowns, choose a bodysuit to smooth from bust to hip. Or, to target your bottom half, we have briefs, shorts, half-slips, and leggings in all cuts and sizes.

How do I hide my belly fat with a bridesmaid dress?

Wear a belt to hide belly fat You only need to make sure that the belt is not too thick, not too thin, and not too tight. Or you can go for a gown with a defined waist and bigger flowy skirt so the drapes and poof of the gown take all the attention.
