Double mastectomy challenge - I used to be a GG size 22 now am totally flat

[TheMadHouse]

and my tummy sticks out like I am 9 months pregnant. Help please.

I had a double mastectomy and a failed reconstruction - will be getting prostectics at some point and will maybe try again for a reconstruction, but thill then I need help.

I am a SAHM for two very active boys aage 35, 5 foot 2 and an apple how.

All my tops are wrapover or the type with a bad under the bust area so no good.

I have lots of boyfriend jeans, a couple of pair of leggings.

I need ideas, on the inexpensive front. I have lots of vest tops to wear under things so my scars dont show, but wide scoop necks look awful as they seem to make me look flater and wider.

I need to lose my tummy, but am not well enough at the moment.

Thanks

TMH, have no pearls of wisdom but just wanted to say it's great to hear you are out the other side of surgery. Sorry to hear that the recon didn't go to plan. Thinking of you and hope you feel better soon.

spanx for your tummy. what clothes size are you? maybe try some high neck tops, boat neck or round neck, and you could try a gel or air bra

So sorry to hear about the reconstruction MadHouse - do they know what went wrong?

There is some good general advice here I think.

What sort of colouring are you?

Would for instance something like this? be your sort of thing, as it looks like it would skim in the right places?

yellow - I couldn't carry this off because of the colour

maybe? love the colour and very good in the summer with pale slouchy trousers

t shirt

boat neck is well worth a try. i know they are usually a nono for apples but i find the straight line of it sort of cancels the roundness. try horizontal stripes too.

here i am terribly sorry it is l.ashley but gets the point across. v nice with boyf jeans.

cardigan
with
this top?

Right I am an 18 bottom, without norks I think I am a 16ish

I am very pale skinned with dark brown shoulder length frizzy hair.

Boat tops are a nono as are striped, tried that on is LA today.

Dont like the cardi or the t-shirt

can deal with fussy prints either and for sure not cropped cardis - even DS1 was asking why there was only half a cardi there

Like the yello top and the grey one too.

Keep em coming

I have also invested in some chunky pendants

Was way off then! Where do you like to shop?
Added some more before I go to bed.

No idea where the butterfly one came from!monsoon

Hmm like the black warehouse one, but not in black - long heaired white cat

Monsoon one is nice too

Not sure about the denehams one. God I am a fussy mare

I normally shop at Fatface or M&S

Tend to do jeans and tops or wraps and dresses
