All brides want to look their very best on their special day, and for many, this includes appearing as trim and fit as possible. So it’s fairly common practice for a bride-to-be to put herself on some type of a diet and exercise regimen in the weeks and months leading up to the big day.

But playing to the strengths of your natural figure is really a better strategy than trying to change it. Find a dress that showcases your best features and downplays the areas you like least — it’s your best bet. Easier than dieting and exercise, you won’t have to worry knowing how beautiful you’ll feel you look on your wedding day.

We did some browsing through popular wedding gown styles online to find figure-flattering details today’s dresses use to slim down the most common figure-challenges. Find out which styles you should consider if you want to slim down any of the following:

Slim Down Your Chest

If you’re looking to minimize a larger chest, go with a bateau neckline with a fit-and-flare style of gown, creating an hourglass figure that balances out a heavier chest.

Slim Down Your Lower Body

A high-waisted dress, sometimes called an empire-waist, with a low scoop neck will show off your upper torso while disguising wider hips and thighs.

Slim Down a Waist

Create a waist where there is none by accessorizing your gown with a sash or crystal belt, both very hot trends right now.

Slim Down Your Arms and Shoulders

Add a lacy bolero or shrug to your gown or go with an illusion neckline. Both reveal skin without actually showing any.
