![]() Midi Length Dressesīelieve it or not, longer-style dresses are a fun (and flattering) option for a big belly. This is fun little trick stylists use to give balance to the body. However, what makes this style different from the others – and the reason it’s so flattering – is because of all the detailing around the collar and arms of the dress.īetween the collar, buttons, and long sleeves that often come in a shirt dress – all these elements bring the focus further away from the midsection and towards the top half of the body instead. Much like the other dress styles mentioned on this list, one of the key figure flattery factors here is the cinched waist that helps create a structure to a big belly. The Shirt DressĪnother super classic dress silhouette that’s perfect for women with a big belly is definitely the shirt dress. This will give you a great middle ground to the dress that enhances your shape. Stick to empire waist dresses that continue to fit fairly close to the body throughout, but aren’t super tight. When trying an empire waist, just make sure that the fabric underneath the waistline isn’t TOO flowy or billowy as this can add bulk to the stomach area – which isn’t something you want to do with a belly. Not to mention, thanks to the raised waistline detail it makes your shape (particularly legs) look super long and thin and by default it gives that look to your entire shape.Another reason it’s something to favor for your body shape is that it’s drapey under the waist definition, which helps to camouflage a tummy without adding a lot of bulk.It’s a great silhouette for an apply body shape because it, once again, brings all the focus to the smallest part of the waist. ![]() Similar to the other dress styles mentioned, an empire waistline is another one to favor when dressing a big belly. The reason is the top flares out around the waist with ruffles draping down, which covers the stomach and makes your midriffs appear smaller. On the other hand, if the ruffles are not long enough, they can actually create more bulk around your belly and draw more attention to the area of your concern. The key is to make sure the ruffles of the dress are the right length so that they can completely cover up your belly. One of the best ways to make your belly area appear slimmer is to wear a peplum dress. Therefore, it is important for the ruching, the gathering of the fabrics, to be around the area you want to conceal. The reason ruching works so well to conceal the big belly is that they can “confuse” the eye as to whether the additional volume from the gathering is due to the fabrics or the midriffs. ![]() If you are not familiar with the term, ruching is a gathered overlay of fabric strips that are pleated, fluted, or gathered together to create a ripple-like effect. If you want to disguise a heavier midsection, nothing works better than dresses with ruching. If the fit is off it can have the reverse figure flattery effect. When wearing A-line silhouettes it’s important that the fit is correct to really make the most of the dress style.A-line not only creates a more defined, smaller waist but it also helps to mask the appearance of a larger midsection by skimming that area of the body and bringing more of the attention away from it.Because of the natural shape of an a-line, where it starts with a defined waist (at the smallest part of the waist) and subtly goes out away from the body, it gives that same emphasis to the actual body when it’s being worn.One of the dress silhouettes that can help to achieve that is the a-line silhouette. When dressing a big belly, the right dress can provide the illusion of a slimmer waist and elongated body. The V neck and elongate that area to make your shape appear longer and slimmer overall.įortunately, there are more than one dress options that are ideal when dressing an apple body type.Not to mention, most wrap dresses come with an v-neckline that helps to bring more focus to the top portion of the torsos (away from the belly). ![]()
