What do you wear if you have a huge belly overhang?

Hips, legs, chest, shoulders etc size 14. Belly size 20. I look like Mr. Greedy. Or like I have a deflated baby bump filled with blancmange. What can I wear?!

Something fitted / flattering at the top ( neckline and shoulders) but loose in the front.
uk.monsoon.co.uk/view/product/uk_catalog/mon_1,mon_1.2/4405086108. I've just bought this, it's very nice on.

This looks fab on: www.kitandkaboodal.co.uk/made-in-italy-boswin-dress-p803#attribute%5B2%5D=6 and comes in several colours.

You can get belly clinching corsets or waist trainers in breathable fabrics for the summer. M&S do some good ones, as do Spanx.

Me too.
I am exactly the same size and shape.
I blame it on my 4 kids including twins. But I also eat way too much and have Ibs plus awful premenstrual bloating at bloody 53!
I have stuck gold today however .
Bought M&S linen wide leg crops that are more culottes - with a wide elastic waist. Also linen peg leg trousers with a elastic back and tie belt front. They’re both fantastic shapes and look really good.
For jeans I wear Cbla jean joggers - again with a elastic waist or Nydj jeans.They are often sold on Brand Alley.

Primark high waist jeans are my best friend if you are a 14 then try the 16 to accomodate belly. And a long tshirt

Spanx, or even an old fashioned girdle.

It won't make you slim, but it'll firm the blancmange and make the top/bottom size difference the least it can be, and this being pretty much in proportion, you'd be able to wear whatever you like.

Do you have a waist? Because if so, I bet clothes with a 1950s silhouette wouidn't look fab.

I wear things that are fitted at the waist and flare at the bottom to cover my stomach and a lot of dresses. Never wear t/shirts but I’ve got a few peplum tops that I love. Spanx are worth a try but always give me stomach ache!

Fitted top to enhance the boobs and a loose bottom part.
