I am a big fan of shape wear under fitted clothes -- it creates a nice smooth canvas for the clothes to just "flow" over. Our bodies should not have to do all the work of having clothes fit propertly.&nbsp; I'll refrain from recommending a long cami shapewear piece or something specifically for the tummy because it really depends on your proportions and how clothes tend fit you &amp; your curves. <br />For example I can't wear those high waist shapers because my rounded belly always made those things roll down. I've had the most success with a one piece that looks like a swim suit that allows me to wear my own bra and also camis. It's a trial and error process but it looks like you're on your way to figuring it out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-out-of-my-zone#post-1200279 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 20:37:42 +0000 Von 1200279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not a tucker by nature, most of the time I buy tops that are long enough and don't need tucking. This one is a rare shirt because it's one that I felt was meant to be tucked in.&nbsp; I actually did originally have on a skirt this morning, but I really have a peeve about seeing my tucked mess through the back of a skirt, so I traded one annoyance for another.</p> <p>So I have probably 25 *decorative* belts, ones I wear at my waist - but only three that are actually long enough to work in pants loops. This one was the only dark one I could find and it's on the last hole (and it eeking by). I usually buy mediums to fit my waist over dresses and such, but need LG or XL to go into pants. That's probably why I usually don't bother with belts. I've been dying to take this off all day and untuck my shirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-out-of-my-zone#post-1200269 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 20:24:48 +0000 fuzzylogic 1200269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see no lingering belly pooch! I love the pants and shirt combo but, like you, re-tucking the shirt and the rising belt issue would drive me potty! Hope you had a great day regardless! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-out-of-my-zone#post-1200267 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 20:22:46 +0000 Liz A. 1200267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>aaaahhhh so with you on this one.&nbsp; my belts always get warped over time.&nbsp; i have a tendency to wear them a little loose to combat the weirdness happening in the back... guess that kinda defeats the purpose of wearing one now that i think of it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-out-of-my-zone#post-1200209 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 19:25:10 +0000 lyn67 1200209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mee, too...It's the same &nbsp;one thing that if it were gone, I'd also never complain about anything else!...I can so relate, but would it help if saying&nbsp;it doesn't show in the picties here?-as it trully doesn't:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-out-of-my-zone#post-1200205 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 19:22:26 +0000 rabbit 1200205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see no belly pooch. Those pants look great on you! &nbsp;I like the shirt on you a lot&nbsp;but am not as sure about it tucked into pants all the time, although it looks good here, &nbsp;for some reason I'm picturing it tucked into a skirt.</p> <p>I third the others about a wider belt. &nbsp;Some belts are cut to curve, I see them at the store hanging in an arc from their buckle. &nbsp;Also some of my wider leather belts have over time and when worn with a lot of jeans, stretched to accommodate my hip shape, so they actually fit better than when they were new. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-out-of-my-zone#post-1200192 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 19:16:12 +0000 pil 1200192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Diane, but certainly understand the feeling of having to constantly fuss. You have probably tried the shirt untucked? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-out-of-my-zone#post-1200153 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 18:36:00 +0000 Anonymous 1200153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, you look good anyway, even if you don't feel quite as good. I wonder if a wider belt or a curved one that followed the waistband contour of your trousers&nbsp;would stay put better? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-out-of-my-zone#post-1200145 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 18:28:09 +0000 Von 1200145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This outfit rests right in the middle of my "discomfort zone" - a buttoned up shirt tucked into pants + a belt.&nbsp; My shirts never stay tucked, and the hourglass shape isn't the best with waist belts in pants (see photo 2 of what happens in the back - it feels sloppy to me).&nbsp; I would LOVE for a belt to stay on track and not go creeping up my back, but that doesn't happen.</p> <p>It's mid-afternoon now, and I don't look as frumpy as I thought I would by this point in the day, but it takes a lot of effort to stay tucked and make sure my buttons haven't popped and the belt isn't being weird.</p> <p>I think my main issue is that I have a lingering lower belly pooch that I hate, and in some pants it's way more noticeable than in these today (thankfully!). It's the one thing that if it were gone, I'd never complain about anything else!</p> <p>&nbsp; </p>
