Does tummy look big in this swimsuit?

Name changed for obvious reasons
Need to ask if this swimsuit accentuates stomach or can notice a big belly?/big hips
Some comment today has triggered this and I cant seem to get a straight answer.
I know MNetters are brually honest and would rather hear truth than appeasement.

No :)

ShirleyJackson · 04/08/2022 22:49

No. You look gorgeous in it.

stealthninjamum · 04/08/2022 22:50

No not at all.

TeapotTitties · 04/08/2022 22:50

Looks fine to me although I suppose a sideways pic would be clearer.

Either way, all I can see is a stomach and the last time I checked we all had them.

Poppyseed14 · 04/08/2022 22:50

You look amazing ❤️

Moon22 · 04/08/2022 22:50

Body looks great to me

WinterMusings · 04/08/2022 22:51

Firstly, I'd kill for your figure these days!

ok!

but I suspect it's not the most flattering swimwear you could wear!! I expect a bikini would look fabulous!!

Snid · 04/08/2022 22:52

Not at all!

You aren’t hippy at all and your stomach looks perfect.

lovely costume, where is it from?

Paq · 04/08/2022 22:53

You look great!

Happylittlethoughts · 04/08/2022 22:54

Your figure and body are beautiful - honestly. I find that its easier to be body positive for others than myself though so it's easy to feel insecure.
Completely objectively, this style does give your tummy a rounded look. May possibly the shiny fabric.

However, it's hard to say if it's flattering for you or not since we don't know the baseline of your usual figure iyswim .

DillDanding · 04/08/2022 22:54

It’s hard to say face-on. But I think it looks fine from the photo.

Coffeeandtats · 04/08/2022 22:55

So there’s a little bit of ruching just where your lower tummy would be, which obviously would highlight the area, but in no way does it make you look like you have a big tum / big hips.

I think you look really great actually and would be pleased if I looked the same in my own swimsuit!!

capedavenger · 04/08/2022 22:56

You look lovely and I'd absolutely love to have your figure!

EmmaH2022 · 04/08/2022 22:57

No

have you been criticised by someone who is built differently?

when I was a perfectly healthy weight, a friend I was on holiday with told me I was out size, as it was called then. I now weigh four stone more and dread bumping into her. She genuinely didn't seem bright enough to understand that some people have hip bones that cannot be altered.

Testina · 04/08/2022 22:59

I don’t think it accentuates hips at all, but the style does draw attention to the stomach.

florianfortescue · 04/08/2022 22:59

God no. I wish I had your figure!

totallyoutnumbered · 04/08/2022 23:00

You have an incredible figure 👌🏻

LydiaBennetsUglyBonnet · 04/08/2022 23:00

No, you’ve a cracking figure!

Dontwakeme · 04/08/2022 23:01

You look gorgeous,I’d happily pay money for a figure like yours!

Depressedsingle · 04/08/2022 23:02

I would love to have your figure! What exercise do you do (other than swimming)?

ManateeFair · 04/08/2022 23:02

You look really great.

Changedmename7 · 04/08/2022 23:04

Thank you to everyone. ❤ I am quite self conscious body-wise especially after having 3 kids. Feel my figure has completely changed. (Used to play national league basketball)

Just a bit if background....spent the day with my neice who is spending the summer here from L.A. She is a plastic surgeon trainee!! My uncle lives out there and shes decided on that career path. I jokingly asked her now shes the expert, would I need anything done in her eyes
(Was clearly an offhanded joke although maybe because she has been brought up in the USA she didnt get it?)
She replied (without even hesitating) yes you could do with a tummy tuck and just zip that bit in (points to hips) you'd have a killer LA figure!!!
Was shocked about her answer. My tummy/hip area are my most self conscious areas as I feel these have changed the most after kids. Just needed to know if its that noticeable thought it could be an umflattering costume which in that case will just choose not to wear it again.

Looks nice. Definitely not big hips, but a side on photo would be needed to see stomach better. Who cares though? Anyone commenting negatively can fuck off.

Cherryana · 04/08/2022 23:07

You just look like a normal woman to me.
If your expectation is model - then you don’t look like that but 99% of people don’t.

There is nothing about your figure that ‘should’ cause someone to comment negatively.

You look lovely.

Eyesopenwideawake · 04/08/2022 23:07

No, but your make up could be toned down a bit ;)
