DD3 is 5 months and I am still a stone and a half overweight with big boobs from breastfeeding and a flabby tummy. Nice.

As we (kind of) get into summer and towards our holiday, I need to find some tops that are nice for hotter weather, but don't cling to my boobs and tummy.

Any suggestions? Online is easiest for me as we are right out in the countryside.

I'm 5ft7 and a size 14 at the moment. Would really appreciate any pointers. I have a waist but don't want any tops that cling to my tummy which still looks pregnant.

You n me both! I like cotton tops from fat face and john lewis (own brand) - nothing stretchy as this tends to cling ....

Thank you! I will try fatface, are they quite good at skimming the bump? Might even try some sit ups later, once I've finished my biscuit.

flattering neckline, not clingy

100% cotton, bright colour to detract from lumpy bits

Thanks so much Naomi! Will check them out.

Sainsburys also have some nice cotton tunic style tops at the mo.

This is gorgeous.

Are you still feeding? This is so flattering, I still wear mine even though I don't use it as a feeding top.

Cheers girls, will have a look - especially at the feeding top - I got some vest tops at Christmas to wear under tops to cover my tummy and they're so horribly faded and stretched now it's depressing!
