Whether you are slightly overweight or have the extra pounds right after pregnancy, a big belly can sometimes be embarrassing. Exercise and diet help to make the belly disappear, but this takes time. To make your belly invisible immediately, you need to conceal it with the right clothes. The secret is to emphasise your other assets and draw attention away from your problem area.

This way you can conceal your tummy:

 

 

- Wear a belly band or tights with an integrated belly band so that no rolls of fat spill out of the waistband and the belly is kept in shape.

- Wear dresses and blouses that are tight under the bust and loose over the stomach. This visually emphasises the thinnest part of your body.

- Wear tops with a V-neck. A V-neck draws the eye towards the face and away from the stomach.

- Look for tops that have fringes or ruffles over the stomach area.

- Keep an upright position. Many women have a protruding belly due to poor posture. Keep your shoulders back and tighten your abdominal muscles when standing or walking.
