Don’t you love the way jersey dresses skim the body? Wearing it may make you feel a little self-conscious initially, but that’s what seamless underwear and ruching are for!

Ruching helps hide your little imperfections, like the detail on Jen’s dress. You can opt to wear a one-piece seamless suit, too:
