Ah, wedding stress. Sleepless nights spent muttering over Mommy-in-law's critique of the exact shade of ivory for the napkins, or your band who has just a few too many Barry Manilow songs on their playlist are bad enough. Worrying about your not-so-toned armpits and underarms creeping out the top of your strapless gown is enough to make you want to strap on that bat cape and sail off the nearest bridge.

These oh-so-hilariously-nicknamed 'batwings' can be toned up by regular sessions with a set of dumbbells, but the multiple cake-tasting sessions are really working against you. Help may be on the way.

Ivanka Trump's gown got a modesty makeover when she converted to orthodox Judaism in time for her October 25, 2009 wedding. Vera Wang added a lace bodice and half sleeves to Ivanka's dress that we are swooning over. Does this signal the decline of the strapless bridal uniform?
