NBR - I need a clever clothing fix

So DD is being dedicated at church tomorrow. I had my dress picked out for weeks now and thought it looked great on me. I went out today to buy something to hold my post-baby belly in and then (stupidly) decided not to buy it - I thought I'd be fine without it. I tried on my outfit one more time when I got home (now that I got some shoes to go with it) thinking I would look great, and of course I look terrible. :( I feel like my belly sticks out further than my boobs and my boobs aren't small either. So basically I am hoping that one of you lovely ladies has some ingenious idea of how I can flatten out my belly for tomorrow or hide it really well.

Thanks in advance.

    Do you have some Ace bandages that you could wrap your tummy in tightly just to smooth and support?

    Good idea but I don't have any. I do have a 24 hour CVS down the block though... maybe they will have something there?

    I found some pantyhose that are super tight up top that seem to be doing the job. I think Ill wear a slip also just in case. And I changed the dress I'm wearing to an all black one since black is slimming. I may try a scarf to hide a bit more.  

    It seems okay now. Thanks ladies. 

    All of this effort to avoid my lovely mom making a comment like last weeks "you still have a belly" along with a little belly pat. - She has no filter. /:)

    Oh I would kill my mom if she said that... You just had a living human growing inside you for almost a year!!! But yeah your body is just supposed to forget about that and bounce back ASAP! If only that's how things worked...

    I bet when your dd looks back on the photos it will be "what a wonderful family I have." Not "wow mom couldn't you have hidden your body more?" Best of luck to you!

    Thanks ladies. It turned out great. DD was excellent during the whole service.
    Haven't seen my mom yet (the church is huge) so we will see how it goes at the restaurant. But whatever happens I feel good about how I look today :)
