I've gone for a size 12 to a size 14 after having my baby and now have a mum tum that I desperately need to hide. I'm stuck for tops and desperately need some help. They all hug my tummy which is massively unflattering :-(

I'm a 14 in most tops and have tops from All Saints, Boden, APC, Toast, People Tree...

I'm not sure what you're asking op, all shops do a size 14. Is it your new shape you're struggling with? Are you looking for a style of top to hide a tummy, rather than simply looking for size 14?

you probably need longer tops and not necessarily wide ones...as soemone above said All saints, but i do liek some designers from custommade but in the summer i managed to get some cheaper from Matalan, just for oen season.

I see. If you like your legs, then skinny jeans can show these off and look really nice with a shirt. Shirts are great for hiding a tummy but probably do look best with slimmer trousers. Tops with a wider neckline that show some skin at the neck I think draw attention from the tummy, especially with a nice necklace. With autumn approaching, layers will be needed, and if really light and not bulky, layers can hide a tummy quite well. Hope this helps a bit. These were my best tricks after having my baby

Especially recommend All Saints if you need to go longer and/or layering, I have a really long torso and they do a lot of light layering vests/tops that cover everything without you looking like you're sort of padded. Also their tops in general are very long.
