How to dress a C-Section pooch?

Hello wise ones.

Hoping someone can help.

I'm 7m pp and still have a pooch from my C-Section.

I don't usually carry weight on my tummy so am quite conscious of it and also am unsure how to dress myself!

I have a family holiday coming up and want to feel good in my clothes - likely to be lots of photos.

I'm a tall fairly busty size 14/16 (- working on losing weight etc but that's a long term thing as I'm going for slow and steady)

Does anyone have any suggestions of what sort of thing would flatter my body shape and be practical for running around after kids?

So far am on the look out for a new midi dress, and am considering a pair of high waisted cropped flared jeans but unsure about the latter.

Thanks!

@ciderfromeleven I've had 3 csections and I've got 4 children, so I know exactly what you're about! You tend to find that the "pouch" feels more showing than it actually is and it's really easy to hide, I'm an expert now at hiding mine, but when I had my first csection with 2nd child I felt horrendous, but looking back, there really wasn't anything noticeable, it's all down to self esteem!
But I tend to find that going for a good midi dress, midi skirts helps, nothing To tight around the middle section, A line is key here and I try and cinch in the smallest part of my waist to accentuate it more! I've also found high waisted jeans an absolute blessing and some nice belts too! 🙂
