Masking big stomach

10 replies

I am hoping for some inspiration from you all about how to hide my stomach.

I had three children close together, three sections, and although I'm slimish (10/12... I have giant boobs) my stomach is quite a bit larger. I'm really self conscious about it. What styles could I wear to hide it?

I've tried to exercise it off but have terrible diastasis recti my doctors suggested will be a surgery into fix, and I just can't afford it. It's really bringing me down so any suggestions to make it less noticeable are appreciated!

When you say you have big boobs but your stomach is larger, do you mean larger than before or sticks out further than bust? If the boobs are bigger clothing that is more fitted in that area and not tight all over with high waisted trousers/ jeans should help, or is it the other way around?

Try intermittent fasting. I do 16:8 and the bloat went away. 2 c sections too. I seriously went from round to flat.

Diastasis recti isn't fixed by diet pp.

I have a similar figure OP, slim but with big boobs & a belly. I tend to wear skinny jeans (or at the moment, shorts) with floaty kind of blouses that hang off boobs and skim tummy. Or throw on dresses that are fitted on bust only.
I have no idea if this is your style but this kind of thing

Some type of underwear or Spanx which smooths your silhouette out perhaps

I imagine this style of top could be flattering?

Thanks for the suggestions, I appreciate it. I have tried to just ignore it and not let it bother me... that's easier said than done!

I think it’s one of those things that you’re hyper aware of but other people wouldn’t notice or pay any mind to

I think current fashion helps too. I’m in my 20s and cycling shorts with oversized tees, joggers/hoodies, blazers, shirt dresses etc are all “in”.

Empire line dresses are great and wrap dresses.
