Anyway, can you just size up? Or is the muffin caused by where the jeans fall in relation to your belly? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/muffin-top-woes-with-some-corrective-actions#post-791645 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 17:43:14 +0000 Karie 791645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have found that a good pair of Spanx can tame a muffin top, have you tried wearing those? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/muffin-top-woes-with-some-corrective-actions#post-791604 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 16:48:12 +0000 Angie 791604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wonder whether you needed to size up on the jeans, Glory. </p> <p>Would you mind turning off the flash so that we can see your creations a little better? I'm liking the shoes with the look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/muffin-top-woes-with-some-corrective-actions#post-791600 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 16:39:52 +0000 MNsara 791600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, I figured out #3 is the loose fitted sweater, right? </p> <p>Is there enough length to the sweater that it could be pulled down to almost crotch length? (Without then hugging the tummy) I'd like to see if that works. Loose oversized longer sweaters over skiinies are usually pretty flattering and forgiving. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/muffin-top-woes-with-some-corrective-actions#post-791594 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 16:27:27 +0000 Aziraphale 791594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glory, I can discern much muffin top action from those pics, although as others have said, it's a bit hard to see. I can imagine the difficulty of getting a good picture using a mirror (one of the reasons I don't post pics myself!). #4 especially looks just great.</p> <p>However, if there is a bit of spillover that you would prefer to camouflage, have you considered waist-surrendering? My husband's shape, no matter how thin he is, always includes little love handles, but you absolutely cannot see them when he's dressed because his button-front shirt obscures the top of his pants. I do the look myself quite a lot -- a loose button-front shirt over skinny jeans. Hides everything. </p> <p>The other trick is to do a half-tuck, leaving your shirt out in the back. Works quite well with low-rise pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/muffin-top-woes-with-some-corrective-actions#post-791588 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 16:20:47 +0000 MNsara 791588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A little tough to see details, but I think your #2 and 4 look good. There IS a difference in #3 but not sure why I can't see the belt.</p> <p>I think the half tuck of the silk blouse must give you some muffintop camoflauge because I don't see any :-)</p> <p>I like the heels that dress it up a tiny bit more too. If it were me, I'd be happy partying in that outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/muffin-top-woes-with-some-corrective-actions#post-791587 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 16:18:49 +0000 Beth Ann 791587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Feeling your pain, Glory! I love the subtle pattern in these, and as well as I can see from the photo, your topper choice works. Nadya's right, though: sitting reveals the truth. Also, I'd wear them around the house for a couple of hours -- sometimes even the waist gives in stretch fabrics. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/muffin-top-woes-with-some-corrective-actions#post-791586 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 16:13:14 +0000 dizzys 791586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nadya is right....sitting will expose a muffin top.</p> <p>Pics look OK from what I can see. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/muffin-top-woes-with-some-corrective-actions#post-791583 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 16:08:30 +0000 Nadya 791583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look good in your pics. Have you tried sitting? I've found that's the true test.... Both for comfort and muffin containment </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/muffin-top-woes-with-some-corrective-actions#post-791567 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 15:31:46 +0000 Suz 791567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pictures are a bit tough to see, Glory (such a pain, I know....I have this problem too when I try to photograph myself, which is why my daughter is called upon so often....) </p> <p>How do you feel? From what I can tell, I think it works - I quite like the belt version. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/muffin-top-woes-with-some-corrective-actions#post-791564 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 15:27:10 +0000 tora 791564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually think its not that bad, you look good in pic 4 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/muffin-top-woes-with-some-corrective-actions#post-791556 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 15:18:50 +0000 Glory 791556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yesterday I posted about these jeans that I purchased as my holiday outfit idea but they give me muffin top as they ride a bit low. They are such a fun pattern and all of my events are casual so I don't want to give up without a fight. Thanks for all the ideas. I have on a fitted cami and a silk shirt in a half tuck. Also added a belt. I also tried with a loose fitted sweater. I run a bit hot so that may not work out. Tell me what you think - K/R. So grateful for your advice. I hope the photos are ok as they seem a bit dark. </p>
