accentuate the positive with a streamlined style
instead of trying to cover up
Don't choose a bridesmaid dress with bows, ruffles, and extra fabric. A simple tailored bridesmaid is the most slimming bridesmaid dress design Instead of trying to hide a waistline, show off your shoulders.
A flattering style is the A-line bridesmaid dress that is fitted at the top and the waist and flares out. If you want to go sleeveless, you could try a bridesmaid dress with a bolero jacket. Having sheer sleeves and back can also be really beautiful.
As for color, dark colors, such as maroon, navy blue, dark purple, or forest green are more slimming. For contrast, you can try some lighter contrasting fabric at the neckline.
