Advice?

[britjojo]

I am a, um, bigger lady. I had a child over a year ago and have yet to drop the weight. I am still nursing, so weight loss has to be sensible and the in the meantime, I could use some tips and advise on what would minimize my ample posterior and big bosom!

I weigh about 185 and have large thighs too. Colours, cuts of clothes, that sort of thing would be helpful.

my advice is really not to stick to the trends..like stay away from skinny jeans just because they're in style right now..hmmm..ill think of some other tips...

I had my little boy a yr ago myself and I buy shirts like this the flare at the bottom so it helps with The weight that I have left and they are great for nursing and I wear flare jeans or boot cut .

yah i thnk the cut would get the attention away from your waist...and would look good with jeans or skirt...

wear tops or shirts which touch your hips in the middle
stay away from large prints
stay away from horizontal stripes or designs

Current fashions are really not good for anyone but the super thin. Skinny jeans? Leggings? Not pretty on me, and probably a lot of others.

Your best bet is to find clothes that fit well. If they are too small, they just show off every bulge. If they are too big, you just look larger than you are. Find a pair of well-fitting black pants and they will be your best friend.

You know I have big hips and great calves. I just had a baby and I wear the leggings with the long tee and the flare a bit. Here is one so you know what am talking about. They are great for hiding fat trust me I know.

ey rhoushoun i use those type of tops all the time too! it's very flattering...since it accentuates y our shoulders and hips so the tummy part is hidden.

i wear the same style like the ones above but with cinching belts but with solid colors

Wear darker jeans. Not the lighter colored jeans, dark always makes people look thinner.

Hi! I also had that problem after giving birth before. The best wardrobes that do work are blouses that are longer than your waistlevel and also choose dark colors, like black and navy blue. Trust me, you will look good even with that figure.

go for something that has an empire wasit or an attention drawing accent to the narrowest part of your torso (usually right under the bustline). Stay away from big v-necks as they just bring attention to the bust.

Straight leg, dark wash jeans are your best bet. And if you want a skirt, go for something a-line that doesn't hug the body.

Try to stay away from things that are too big, as they only make you look bigger than you are.

Oh, and pointy toe shoes - even flats will lenghen and slim your legline.
