Don't Wanna Show Your Tummy on Your Wedding? No Problem!

Yes, we know that most of the lehengas, or let's say your *typical* lehenga comes with atleast some skin show, there are still ways to work around it if you don't wanna do that! You should seriously get some inspiration from Muslim and Sikh brides.. they do it with so much grace! So here are some lehenga silhouettes which are going to work well for you if you just don't wanna show off that tummy!

Peplum is a great option for brides who don't want to show off their belly. But if you're slightly on the heavier side, then you may have to experiment within peplum options as some of them can be very unflattering. So see what suits your body type.

Another great way to avoid showing too much tummy is to pick a high waisted lehenga which shows maybe a little bit of your tummy. The area just below the rib cage is generally the slimmest on a woman, so it looks flattering as well!

A longer choli does not necessarily have to look odd.. this bride carries it off so well! Make sure it isn't in a fabric which will crumple or pouf up when you sit down.
