Is my belly huge

[marypoppins2022]

Please be honest Is my belly huge? Do I look like a frog with big upper and skinny legs?

And yes I'm not wearing a bra - my choice

With threads these, it should be made clear at the start when only complimentary responses are acceptable.

Otherwise, you should be prepared for people to be honest.

@trailrunner85

You don't look like a frog. You do look chubby, untoned and unfit, but nothing out of the ordinary compared to most of the population.

Nothing a good bra, healthy eating and some decent exercise couldn't sort out.

Flip me talk about blunt! I somehow feel compelled to send you a pic of me now!!!!

@Chocomelon @Zazdar there's a big difference between honest opinions and straight up insults

@marypoppins2022 I don't think you have an especially big tummy. It's just a bit curvy like most womens'. You look quite slim to me.
So don't worry!

And I like your pink shirt but you don't really need to wear oversized clothing - I have a bigger tummy & much bigger chest but I'm wearing a black tshirt tucked into my jeans.... it looks better than wearing outsize garments. As long as you have the right bra to push them up it's quite flattering to show off any curves.

You are not huge but your tummy wouldn't be classed as slim. I think the clothes aren't necessarily flattering also

Is an honest opinion that the OP’s belly looks huge an insult?

@fridgepants

Your problem is not your tummy, your problem is your self-confidence and self-image.

100% agree with this.

@Zazdar when you phrase it like that (and when it blatantly isn't huge) then, yes, Zazdar, it is

Right. Here's me with a bra. Side on pic and front. What do we think

Hey op I've seen your threads on this before.

How is anyone meant to be able to say how big your tummy is when you post pictures in huge shirts?

I don't understand what you are trying to get out of this.

No not huge or frog like.

You are an apple shape, like me - great legs and an enviable bust - lift that up, make the most of it.

I find most flattering cut to be wrap or tie waist style to give the illusion of a waist (I don’t really have one)

OP honestly, that shirt is so enormous it's impossible to see what shape you are underneath!

The thing is.... A huge oversized shirt and leggings isn't really going to look amazing on anyone. Even a size 8, 20 year old model.

If I wear simple jeans and a plain tshirt I'll tend to style it with a hat, nice jewellery, cool shoes - to elevate a simple look to be more.

What style of clothing do you like? How do you want to be seen? What's your style?

The OP asked if people thought her tummy was huge. Some people thought it was. Surely that’s the response she was after? People answering honestly?

I thought she was after a honest answer - why ask otherwise? If you want to be told you look great, surely you ask a friend or family member or someone who will couch their words. If you want honest opinions from strangers, then you ask for honest opinions from strangers... no?

Definitely better with the bra, it lifts your bust. As PP have said, though, a more form fitting top would be more flattering. You could try a wrap top or semi fitted shirt that skims over your stomach. Pair it with slim leg jeans as opposed to leggings.

Those over-sized shirts don't flatter you. Something more fitted would look better. Those shirts just make you look big

What about keeping the oversized shirts open with something more fitted underneath

A camisole that skims rather than clings?

I used to watch "How to Look Good Naked" and the difference wearing a properly fitted bra made to the women was astounding. It really makes you look like you have a waist. Clothes hang better as well.

Great video thanks

You have wide shoulders, like I do. I'm tall and fairly slim, but if I wear a baggy top and leggings, I look much bigger than I actually am. You need to wear a v-neck to draw attention away from your shoulders, and more fitted tops or dresses that are nipped in at the waist. Bootcut jeans would also look better to balance your wider shoulders.

As some other posters have mentioned, a wrap dress would look good on you. A wrap top would also be good. Black tops and lighter skirts, trousers or jeans would also help to balance your shape.

I AM wearing a bra in the recent pics in the blue top. That's why I'm asking how do I look now I have a bra on - does it make a difference

@FirstTimeMum6666

You are chubby and untoned but nothing major and easily fixed. The no bra under tops will make you look bigger as they merge into your belly. Get a bra and separate them
