Flattering tops needed

10 replies

LardLizard · 28/06/2018 16:34

Have nice boobs, and overall a nice shape
Proably hourglass
But do have a bit of a mummy tummy /c section overhang

I have a few floaty type tops but only trouble is they make you look bigger all over and apple shaped as hang off the boobs

So I want something fitted but not lyrca skin tight if you know what I mean

Where shall I look or what shall I google

If you can find such a thing, something that wraps around the middle can look good.
I will try and find what I mean...

Afraid I can't offer any advice really but I'm in exactly the same position and finding clothes is a bit of a nightmare post-baby. I've found that tops that cinch in under the boobs and then float down are the most flattering... but then I can't find any of these in real life! 🙈

Something a bit like this?

River Island has quite a few at the moment.

I have exactly the same issues at the moment, I find a V neck always the best neckline for big boobs and a peplum will hide any c section tummy and nip in at the waist to give you some shape - although I do t think they're very fashionable at the moment so might be harder to find

OP I sympathise. I've not bought any flattering tops since empire line went out of fashion about six-eight years ago. All I want is something that comes in again under the boobs, and floats or skims over the C-section belly, ending below the hip bones. No one sells anything like that any more.

About time empire lines came back in !
