Lurker needs belly-hiding advice
I'm barely pregnant, but this is my third and I'd like to wait to tell work for another month. I work with a lot of guys and I can wear jeans or my regualr pants and nice shirts to work, so it shouldn't be hard, but I'm finding that some flowy shirts actually don't really hide my little belly. Any advice or types of shirts I should try? I'm probably ordering most everything online.
I like this Anthro style, but I don't really want to spend $80 on a shirt right now.
Two boys already - ages 5 and 3...
...baby #3 is here...
Re: Lurker needs belly-hiding advice
Express has some flowly shirts that might work. I guess there's really no way to tell, you're just going to have to try them on.
I'm in a constant state of trying to hide my belly, since that's my problem area.
I find that sometimes the flowy shirts show off the tummy a bit too much. It's like they skim that area and highlight it. I'd avoid jersey material or anything that's thin and silky, but you're really going to have to just mall hop and try stuff on.
I'd look for some shirts that have a little more stiffness and structure to them, but that are wider. I've got on this one from Old Navy today - you have to wear a tank under because it's fairly sheer, but the material works well for being flowy without skimming and highlighting the tummy.
Blazers are also good for tummy control.
I'm also thinking shirts like this and this from BR could work and they're having a sale (as usual).
Good luck!
