Clothes advice for an apple shape with a soft tummy

[Dontwanttobeahelicopter]

Hi all. Despite working out lots and having a (mostly!) good diet, I am a typical apple, especially after having my son- a big and very soft tummy, slim everywhere else. I have kind of accepted now that this is not going to change much but now need new clothes- soft and feminine but that skim over the tummy area as I want to draw the eye away from there. Any tips? I'd be eternally grateful! I'm 38 if that matters

F as I am exactly the same!

I find Massimo Dutti very good for this. But you need to give more info.

whays your height, dress size, budget, and what do you like?

Look at Cary’s Whittaker on instagram

This is a beautiful dress but on me would cling in all the wrong places!

I'm a 10-12, slim arms and long legs but have a belly that's sometimes so bloated as if I'm 7 months pregnant. Day to day I'm often in a wrap lol on t shirt and long wide pants, or a playsuit in the summer. I need more flattering tops and bottoms though!

I'm not sure if I'm an apple or inverted triangle, I basically have slim arms and legs, slim hips compared to waist and big boobs. So maybe apple with big boobs. I look best in shirt dresses, with a tie waist. They are my go to. Fit and flare and skater dresses from about 12 years ago looked fabulous on me too, and can still be found. Any tops with a v neck, I do wear shirts with a tie waist but I choose the jeans carefully, usually opting for a wide leg pair with front pockets (a bit 70s looking), the best fit trousers and jeans are ones that hug the waist then gently flare out. A line skirts and kilt type skirts look good too.
The worst things are column/body con dresses, pleated skirts with elasticated waists, high neck tops, straight cut dresses.
The main aim for me is to create a waist, have a low cut neck line and create a space between face and boobs, and to have tops that don't just hang from my boobs. I need them to kind of hug the boobs then clinch in a bit so you can see I'm not just a big pair of breasts. 😂
