Hide belly, but show boobs and bum?

LouiseBelchersBunnyEars · 12/11/2021 21:44

Christmas party coming up, I’ve put on lockdown/WFH weight, and it all seems to have gone to my belly!

Looking for a glam dress for Xmas do,which hides the belly, yet enhances the other assets. About £100 budget, preferably a bit less like £75-£80.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance 🙂

How formal are your Christmas events? Like party or black tie?

Something like this

And what's your preference on sleeve length?

Ooh, I love the red one!

It’s officially black tie, however in reality there’s a lot of party wear, I find there to be a mixture and definitely could wear either.

My general thing with sleeves tends to be long sleeves if a short dress, and straps for longer lengths, but it’s definitely not a hard and fast rule!

Maybe something with a peplum waist like this...

Phase eight becca dresses are great for this. I have a sequin one that I bought a few weeks ago in the sale.

I love the red one too!!
Speaking from many years of experience of hiding a tummy wrap dresses are the way to go.

I also like this one- really good for showing the boobs but waist line could be too high and end up looking pregnant (a constant fear of mine 😂)

What’s the sizing of the skirt? Is it stretchy?

I love this one.. The tassles will conceal any tummy issues😊

Yea, the skirt is really stretchy. It is short (not too short, but short) on me though and I’m 5 foot 1.

I saw this one someone a bit shorter than the model and it looked fantastic.
