I'll look through the links you suggested.<br /> I always find it hard to visualize what clothes would look like on a plus sized frame like mine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/very-prominent-tummy#post-1665153 Sun, 22 May 2016 06:53:48 +0000 catgirl 1665153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Look up some of my WIWs - I've been disguising a swollen midsection for a year now and just had surgery so expect it to be that way for a while. Looser draped and tunic tops with interesting details are good - they skim without clinging. </p> <p>Some examples below - not sure what your style is yet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/very-prominent-tummy#post-1665084 Sun, 22 May 2016 02:31:45 +0000 RobinF 1665084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, looser tops with skinny bottoms would look nice. Or tops that skim your body. I also tend to gain around my middle so avoid styles that emphasize my waist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/very-prominent-tummy#post-1665079 Sun, 22 May 2016 02:24:02 +0000 Sheila 1665079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I looked at the Etsy pattern...which I would call a 'tunic'. The one made up in the bright yellow fabric gives you the best chance to see what it would look like without a belt, and I agree with Marianna that a slim belt would not be a good idea -- or any belt, for that matter. A more subdued solid or a nice print would look well, in my opinion. Maybe not as wild as the print in thebig photo but whatever you like that fits your lifestyle and taste.</p> <p>Have you read Angie's wonderful articles about how to dress the body types? They are fantastic and I highly recommend them. I believe the shape you described is an 'apple', so that's what you should look for.</p> <p>ETA to find these posts about dressing the Apple shape, use the Search tool (top, right-hand of this site) and choose 'The Blog' and 'For All Time'. Enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/very-prominent-tummy#post-1665027 Sun, 22 May 2016 00:47:28 +0000 marianna 1665027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a big tummy too. High wasted pants help hold it in. Also drapey tops. Nothing clingy. I don't wear anything that synches in the middle or that cuts me in half visually. That Etsy top is cute but not sure I like the belt around the middle - for me that wouldn't work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/very-prominent-tummy#post-1665022 Sun, 22 May 2016 00:29:16 +0000 Sally 1665022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi When I put on weight it goes to bust and tummy and I'm a real apple.<br /> Here are some structured styles I used to wear. Actually not all structured but dresses are. I find the slim pants give structure to looser tops </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/very-prominent-tummy#post-1665013 Sat, 21 May 2016 23:57:49 +0000 mamacandoit 1665013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you think something like this would be ok?

You might prefer woven materials over knit ones. Do you have a preference for pants or skirts? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/very-prominent-tummy#post-1664963 Sat, 21 May 2016 21:43:08 +0000 mamacandoit 1664963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please could i have some ideas of good styles for my big tummy...by big i mean a 44in tummy, 37in waist and 48in hips.</p> <p>i'm a home educator but i don't like looking sloppy.<br />I love the idea of semi-fitted outfits but they don't suit my shape or "career"</p> <p>I'd be grateful for any advice</p> <p>tia</p>
