Thinner, but more muffiny, how do I hide it?

Have recently lost a few pounds, and it seems to have come off my hips. I've had to tighten my belts to keep trousers up, and have bought a pair in the next size down. This is fab- until I sit down, when my tummy above my belly button swells up and over like a cottage loaf! I'm trying to lose a bit more in the hopes I will even out, but what do I do if I don't? Am size 12 bottom, 14 top, 38 c boobs if that helps!

choose trousers/jeans with a higher waistband or skirts. the hipster style does you no favours (or me come to that!) and make sure your tops are long enough to avoid flashing your tum. Primark skinny jeans are only £8 and sit on the waist for a good silouette - i have them in indigo and grey and i'm a 12. or go to gap and have a trying on sesh.

well done on the weight loss Grin

I have never dared try skinny jeans- suspected I would look like an ice cream cone! But I might try, we dont have a primark but I think someone said peacocks were good? I have some gap curvy straight which did fit nicely but now look most peculiar! Thank you.

I wear skinnies with bike boots and a long top and the boots balance you out a treat!

Ah I have lots of boots so will try. Do sometimes wear leggings and boots, so I guess it is kind of the same? I was reading the minute waist massive arse thread, and I can't understand why, as a massive waist ( and comparatively small arse) I can't get jeans either!
