Best clothes for a big tummy?!

Hi all,
I am looking for clothes that will hide my big tummy- I honestly look about 5 months pregnant and don't know how to get rid of it.
I tend to wear jeans a lot but always with a top that covers my belly, and I know the advice is to tuck the top in but just can't do it!
I have long legs- biggish thighs and skinny calves (not a good look!!) biggish boobs and wide shoulders and this horrendous tummy.
Please help BlushBlush
Thank you x

I wear a lot of dresses, not skintight or bodycon style but usually with a defined waist and a flowey skirt

I find linen tops don't cling as much as cotton in both t shirts and jumpers. Also skirts/culottes with wide elasticated waists tend to sit well. I've bought from Hush, Jigsaw and M&S.
The only thing diet-wise that works for reducing my tummy is cutting out gluten/dairy and following a low carb diet. The fast 800 is very effective.

I just don't wear jeans anymore, I think I've worn a dress everyday for the last few months. Obviously a bit easier when it's summer!

I find dress that are more fitted on top and flare out from a few inches above my belly button are the most flattering.

I am always waiting for someone to ask when I'm due tho!
