Nice dress needed to diguise low down tummy pouch

I had a total abdominal hysterectomy 5 mths ago, so incision from just below bikini line to my belly button. 3 days after that the same wound had to be opened again for more surgery, so my stomach muscles are now non existent. I've always had a tummy, well since the dc (3 sections) but this is different. The biggest bit is quite low down and so anything remotely tight makes it very noticeable, and even in jeans you can see it (well i can).

I have a wedding party coming up mid Jan, and will probably go out a couple of times over xmas, and i'd like at least one dress that looks nice and hides my tummy.
I have large boobs and they are ok so don't mind something that shows them off a bit, but also don't want anything longer than knee length as it just makes me look frumpy as I am only 5'2.

The whole thing has made me feel old (was thrown into the menopause) and I am only 36 and I'd just like to feel nice and like me again Smile

I quite like this

Not good for the tummy area though.

You need a skater style.

You mentioned feeling constantly hungry on hrt tablets. I had this feeling, but it was actually gastritis. My stomach really did not like them.
I switched to hrt patches. On Femseven Conti. They are effective and no stomach problems. Worth considering.

I had the same issue for quite a while. I found that this style was quite good as it tightened further up above the pouch... good luck.
