• Create an hourglass silhouette by giving the bust a boost and tame any tummy bulge. You can achieve this with a corset that sits squarely on the hips (a seamless bustier with hidden underwire and lightly padded push-up cups for formfitting gowns) and body-shaping footless pantyhose with extra tummy control. This technique works great with strapless dresses.

• If wearing a dress with a sweetheart neckline you can enhance cleavage with a padded bra.

• For backless gowns, adhesive silicone gel cups without straps and seams are the perfect choice. These stick-on cups with a front closure are totally invisible under sheer styles.

• If your wedding dress has a halter style top with a plunging neckline, you’ll need more than a bra that just dips in the front. Consider a bra that is halter-style with sturdy, clear convertible straps, molded contoured cups, and a low back.

No matter your figure shape, it’s your special day. Following these flaw fixing strategies will ensure you look as beautiful on the outside as you feel on the inside on your special day!
