Help me dress to cover my mum tum!!

[Abneyandteal19]

I have 2 DS one is nearly 3 and one is 8 months.

I think I've done well getting back into shape and weigh under my pre pregnancy weight just.

I am a size 12 mostly but sometimes 14 on the bottom and 5"4 I cannot get rid of my jelly like Mum tum!! It doesn't bother me too much except when I put things on like maxi dresses etc and look pregnant!! Someone even tried to give me their seat on the bus today!!

I think I look ok in high waisted jeans and tops which seem to cover it but can't wear them in this heat!!

What summer styles can I wear that hide it and don't make me look pregnant???

OP I could have written your post! I have a 3.5 year old and a 9 month old and although I weigh less than I did before I got pregnant the belly is there and so annoying!

I’ve found wrap dresses to be flattering as they sinch at the waist. I’m also going to buy some control underwear from primark when I next go.

Now the weather is boiling I really want to wear all my old dresses but they just highlight my chunky tummy. I’m also trying to eat lighter in the evening (but the Ben she Jerry’s is calling me from the freezer!)

A simple linen tunic dress is good, or something going in at the waist. Definitely avoid dresses that pull in under the bust.

Thank you- I will look for tunic dresses- have always avoided linen as I don't have time or energy to iron after work and always feel they are creased by 10am! Will def have a look,

Wrap dresses are another good shout- I have a few but thinking about it they maybe more maternity ones that tie under the bust so same problem!!

Do you guys wear skirts? I have to be smart for work and used to wear shorts and skirts but not sure now as they keep riding up!

Linen’s always creased it’s part of the look! doesn’t have to be linen anyway, could be a thick cotton shirt dress type thing.
Skirt wise yes I wear long (maxi) flared skirts or pencil skirts. I’m avoiding long Lycra skirts with an elasticated waist as they graduate up and show off my non pregnant rounded belly rather too well!

A-Line
Skater style.

Avoid pencil skirts!

High waisted flared midi skirts with a vest/tee tucked in!
