Wondering where to find a wedding guest dress that flatters your tummy? I’m here to help, with a number of stylish and comfortable dresses that work to flatter your figure when you’re feeling self-conscious. Wedding season is coming, and along with the excitement of invitations, RSVPs, and celebrating love, there might be some stress over finding the perfect outfit. Picking the right wedding guest dress is always a struggle, but if you’re worried about lumps and bumps being visible, it’s even more stressful.

Say goodbye to restrictive dresses that make you feel like you can’t move. We’re moving away from the mindset of trying to fit into smaller sizes and embracing the idea of working with what you have. It’s about celebrating your curves, choosing styles that highlight your best features and, most importantly, make you feel confident and comfortable in your own skin. After all, confidence is the best accessory. So what dresses should you look for if you have a big tummy?

Which dresses hide a bloated tummy?

As someone who suffers from bloating all the time, I’ve become a dab hand at finding dresses to cover it up.

A-line dresses work wonders concealing a big tummy as they’re fitted around the chest and have flowing skirts that skim over your tummy and legs to create an elongated silhouette.

Wrap dresses look good on almost every body, but are especially handy if you’re trying to cover up a tummy as they skim over your middle. The V-neck distracts from your tummy and is especially flattering if you’ve got a big bust too.

Printed dresses work to distract from any areas you don’t want to be highlighted, as well as bold colours.

Belted dresses also highlight the waist, particularly if you choose a style with an in-built belt in a matching colour.

Below, you’ll find our edit of the best wedding guest dresses for big tummies. Next, read about the best plus size wedding guest dresses and the maxi plus size dresses.

Get ready to leave behind any body-related worries and embrace the wedding festivities with a whole lot of fabulousness!
