I’m not formally trained at anything, although I did once have half a day’s training session behind the bar at the Hammersmith Odeon before I started work there in the early 90s. I should make clear at this point that I’m not a trained stylist, so these are just things that work for me and they may not work for everyone. So is a deep love of cheese that I’m not prepared to give up. Since then, I’ve tried to get rid of it, and I even go to the gym now FFS (who even am I?), but it’s clear it’s not going to disappear anytime soon. I wouldn’t say I had washboard abs, but I had a reasonably flat stomach and, frankly, I took it for granted. I could do bodycon until the cows came home. Before I hit 30 and had children, I was a big fan of a tummy-baring top. I used to call it the ‘mum tum’ now I call it the ‘peri-meno muffin top’.
DRESSES TO HIDE STOMACH HOW TO
I could list a lot of things I’m not particularly enamoured with about my appearance, but we’d be here all day so let’s focus on the stomach area, as that’s something I too have learnt how to deal with over the years and worked out how to dress to hide it. I know we should all be embracing our body shapes and loving ourselves as we are but, come on, everyone has a part of themselves that they are not happy with and would like to hide. This came from various concerns: ‘meno-waist, aka middle-age spread’, ‘pot-belly problems’ and ‘post-birth belly’. The absolutely overwhelming number-one issue was ‘dressing to disguise a bit of a belly’.
Last week I asked you what your body hang-ups are and whether you’d like some ideas on how to dress around them.
