Most flattering styles for a big tummy?

[AllTheFluffyAnimals]

I've put on weight and am now a size 16/18, which is fine, but it all seems to be on my belly, which I don't like. A woman offered me her seat on the bus the other day and I'm constantly paranoid that people think I'm pregnant.

How can I dress to take attention away from my belly? I like bright colours and unusual clothes (my hair is several shades of purple, I grow my leg hair and underarm hair and show off my tattoos, so I'm not afraid to look different) but I'm restricted as I am currently very very poor and can only shop in charity shops.

I'm currently living in two swing dresses and a summer short dress that aren't too bad and capes. Nothing else fits.

I'm with you OP. I used to be an hourglass, now I'm completely Apple shaped and my legs are the skinniest they've ever been due to running.

I like wearing slim fitting ankle grazing trousers and then a slouchy t-shirt. Skim over my fat bits. The trousers I like tend to be on the higher waisted side to try and hold my belly in.

Same as you guys here, the coil seems to have piled weight on me which has congregated round my middle, the rest of me hasn't changed much!

I tend to do the same as Felicia, skinny trousers and slouchy tops.

Wrap dresses? Also going low carb helps with belly fat especially if you feel bloated a lot.

NOTHING seems to be helping my belly I've lost two and a half stone (2 to go!) and have barely lost anything from my belly. I mean I know I have, but why am I losing from my bum and legs not my huge boobs and belly?! Seriously body, get with the programme!
