How to hide the tummy

ns1ns1 member
in May 2014 Moms
On maternity leave I don't mind to wear pajama pants and a tee and call it a day, but as work creeps up I realize I have no idea what kind of tops to wear to hide this massive muffin top. Ideas?

    Button ups a size bigger, half buttoned so they appear billowy. I'm also staying in my maternity work pants. Uhg.

    Maybe something like these. I'm looking for something to wear for a retirement party.

    I would stay away from any that have belts.

    My clinic voted out scrubs and white coats because it was decided that the children may feel apprehensive in a medical environment. So we have to wear professional clothes while doing medical evaluations. Sometimes on the floor.

    I hate them.

    I wore Spanx or some sort of shape wear to work for a couple months after my first child.

    @anniemore - are we the same person?! Love it!

    Other idea, the fit and flare dresses (banana republic has a ton of them) may hide the muffin top as it draws attention to your waistline (or what we have of it at this moment).

    I second the fit and flare dress! This is the best picture I have.

    Empire waist tops, fit & flare tops. I also wear spankies or my belly bandit still. Though the belly bandit helped reduce the belly chub significantly this pregnancy.

    I bought some shapewear tanks and camis from Jockey...they did the trick. I wanted something with structure but not as much as Spanx...I just couldn't wear that shit every day.

    Fitted tanks layered under shirts to help smooth things out and spanx. So over it. :-/

    I'm still rocking my maternity clothes from PinkBlush maternity. They hide the shrinking bump without making me feel self conscious. Plus their clothes are very cute and reasonably priced.
