A peplum is not only super on-trend, its retro shape covers up any problem areas (in the chicest way possible!).

A lightweight, chiffon wedding dress with shirred detailing draws the attention away from your curves and onto your oh-so-thin waistline (bonus: this dress’ breezy aura is perfect for a beach wedding).
4. Lace wedding dress with ribbon belt, $490, After Six

Small up top? A V-neck bodice will create the illusion of a larger bust.
5. Silk georgette A-line wedding dress, $895, Ann Taylor

Have a long torso? A high waistline makes your legs look longer.

A high neckline looks especially elegant on a smaller chest.

Sparkly embellishments on the bodice give your guests something stunning to stare at when you’re at the alter.

This curve-skimming dress stretches your frame—great for petites!
9. French Mikado wedding dress with crystal details, $999, Stella York

Cascading ruffles are ultra-feminine—and if you’re pear-shaped, they can camouflage your lower half.
10. Net fit-and-flare wedding dress, $649, Mori Lee by Madeline Gardner

Draping is extra slimming; the spray of tulle on the bottom balances out a big bust.
11. Draped wrap bodice wedding dress with a shirred ball gown skirt, $690, After Six

The cinched waist of this lacy ball gown helps a boyish figure look curvy.
12. ”Geneva” bustier pleated maxi wedding dress, $597, Alice + Olivia available at Neiman Marcus

For a boho bride who craves a dash of sex-appeal, the bustier bodice on this lightweight, pleated maxi dress will up the va va voom factor.
13. ”Isabella” wedding dress, $950, Ann Taylor

A cut-out back provides the ultimate peek-a-boo. We love the gown’s raw-edge hem as well!
14. Taffeta and lace peplum wedding dress, $615, Badgley Mischka available at Saks Fifth Avenue

Nothing flatters a boyish silhouette quite like a peplum. The off-the-shoulder neckline on this taffeta two-piece gown isn’t bad either.
15. ”Rosecliff” wedding dress, $800, Candela exclusively for BHLDN

There’s only one thing left to do in an ultra romantic dress like this: twirl the night away in a lush starlit garden.
