...what kind of tops do you wear in summer? Tshirts don't always suit me any more because they cling to my belly, but shirts are often too hot or fussy. Must be cotton and preferably not floral.

I wear swing/ trapeze shaped tops that hang from the bust. Linen shirts are great, too.

Fat face do some nice ones that are kind of fitted to just under the bust then skim over midriff, or the t-shirt with elastic around the bottom seem to work (not sure what you call them though).

Mutabiliss · 08/04/2023 22:56

Anything that fits well over the bust and then falls loosely and skims the tummy. Preferably loose angel/kimono sleeves.

I look pregnant in these type of swing tops, somehow. Maybe because I am not very large, a 10-12 everywhere except my tummy.

Zara has some linen shirts that might work for you, too.
