Well if you had decent posture you wouldn’t look so “pregnant”

These threads never go well. What do you want to get out of this OP ?

ApolloandDaphne · 19/11/2021 06:40

You have on a horrible unflattering t shirt so it's hard to tell. A size 14 apple maybe? You don't look pregnant.

Mercurial123 · 19/11/2021 06:45

It doesn't matter what other people think. It's how you feel.

Agreed these posts never go well. Asking strangers to judge you is weird.

glimpsing · 19/11/2021 06:54

Erm...the sort of oblong one. But that will be the boxy t shirt. You'd have to post in something a bit more form fitting to see your proportions better. No, you don't look pregnant.

RomanaBanana · 19/11/2021 08:38

You don’t look pregnant but you need to get out of that t shirt as quickly as possible. Very unflattering.

onepotatotwopotatothreepotato · 19/11/2021 09:16

This is just a work uniform for a Xmas temp job so I'll keep the top for now I just wondered if I look preg as I feel my belly looks huge

Apple for sure, 14/16 -
No high necks and a decent bra would improve things for you massively! That said you've got quite a nice figure Smile and no you don't look pregnant.

Bluntness100 · 19/11/2021 09:50

Why are you asking? Are you pregnant? I would not have thought so from the pic.

The issue is unflattering clothes, no bra and poor posture.

onepotatotwopotatothreepotato · 19/11/2021 11:37

No I'm not preg

What is it about my posture specifically that's the issue?

You are slouching down into your hips and your shoulders are forward. Stand up through your middle and pull your shoulders back and you will look half a stone lighter. I am overweight and I know if I stand properly I look much slimmer.
IslaInthesun · 19/11/2021 13:45

No good will come of this.

Udouhun · 19/11/2021 13:46

I would say size 12 - 14. You don't look pregnant. You're an apple shape. The clothes are unflattering.

Udouhun · 19/11/2021 13:47

Honestly your stomach doesn't look huge.

Innocenta · 19/11/2021 13:52

Kibbe 'Soft Natural' is my best guess - obviously hard when you're wearing unfitted clothes!

skgnome · 19/11/2021 13:52

The clothes are unflattering, you know you need a decent bra… and, as someone that also has horrible posture, your posture is not doing you any favours
It’s a uniform, so you’ll need to work with what you got… end of day, who cares that shirt will do no one any favours… but if you really care, stand up straight, don’t slouch and engage your core
But honestly, don’t stress about it

RedRobyn2021 · 19/11/2021 13:57

I would say size 12-14, you don't look pregnant

Mylee · 19/11/2021 14:07

Am I the only one curious to know what was on the floor that needed scribbling outGrin

Jericha · 19/11/2021 14:08

12-14
Don't look pregnant
Apple

If you stand up straight and pull your stomach muscles in and your waist is still bigger than your hips, you are an apple. But it looks like with better posture it would be similar size and definitely smaller than your top half, so you could be an inverted triangle.

Ok, where do we start - you’re slouching and letting all your weight go into your hips and knees. And you’re pushing your weight back into your heels and hips in a way that will damage your body eventually. Terrible for your posture and also for your spine.

You need to pull your spine up out of your pelvis by engaging your abdominal muscles.

Think of your abdominals as a kind of corset. Think also about pulling your Babel in to your spine, but without hyper flexing your back or flaring your ribs. Try to visualise your pelvis in a neutral position - neither tipped forwards or backwards.

Then think about letting your shoulders roll back and out. And try to get your head to sit on top of your spine. Basically, try to align your spine.

You can practice this by lying on your back on the floor, with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor. Think about using your breath to press the whole length of your spine into the floor. Then try to replicate that feeling of gently holding your core when you stand.

Most people have terrible posture. Holding yourself well is a basic foundation of looking well. You know, when people post in here with that silly question about looking “rich” or “wealthy”. The basic is posture.

EllaPaella · 19/11/2021 16:08

Decent bra and tuck the shirt in and it will look a million times better.
The T shirt is a really unflattering cut, it needs to be shorter and sit closer to your hips.

EllaPaella · 19/11/2021 16:09

Also a different style of trouser would look a lot better with the T shirt.
