How to Hide Post-Baby Belly
The birth of a baby can be a bittersweet time for the mother who cannot fit back into her clothes. As clichГ© as it is, it takes nine months to gain the weight so it should take another nine months to loose it. That doesn't mean nine more months of maternity clothes. There are ways to look slimmer while your body adjusts.
Step
1
Black is your friend. Well fitting, not loose, black pants or a longer black top with jeans does wonders.
Step
2
Wear maternity clothes for bit after having your baby, but stick to pants without the belly panel. Otherwise you will feel awful if someone spots it and asks you when you're expecting. Besides, the sooner you are out of them the better you will feel about yourself.
Step
3
Don't wear pants that are tight around your waist or the excess skin will sag resulting in a "muffin top." Find tops with extra room in the waist. Fortunately baby doll tops are in, so take advantage. Just don't wear tops with a tie around the waist or it will enhance your belly.
Step
4
Wear tops with a pattern that will redirect the eye and camouflage your belly.
Step
5
Buy a cute jacket to go over a slim t-shirt, preferably one that stops at the waist. This makes a slimmer profile.
Step
6
Wear a girdle. They aren't your grandma's girdles anymore. A lot of attractive undergarments, including panties with support, are now made to hold you in. This also will help your lower back while your body is adjusting.
Step
7
Wear large earrings or a necklace to take attention away from your midsection.
Tips & Warnings
Until you reach your pre-pregnancy size, borrow clothes or visit a consignment shop to find clothes that fit appropriately.
Assess your pre-pregnancy wardrobe and see if there is anything that you could use postpartum, possibly a loose skirt or larger shirt.
