- How To Hide Your Tummy - 18 Tips You Didn't Know
If you're anything like me you may have gained a few pounds over lockdown and while our isolation period here in New Zealand is over I thought it might be helpful to share some of my top styling tips to disguising a tummy. I know for most of us this isn't exactly going to be a top priority given what we are all facing in the world at the moment but I truly believe if you look good you feel good and that's why I've put together this video.
I'd really love to hear if you've put on any weight during lockdown and what your thoughts are about it. Do you care? Is it the least of your worries? Is the weight gain getting you down. I'd be fascinated to hear your thoughts.
Anyway, thanks so much for watching and I'm sending lots of love from New Zealand to you.
Leonie

Finally someone who doesn’t say that wrap dresses hide the tummy! I keep seeing this info everywhere and it just isn’t true. They emphasize your waist but you turn sideways and you see your tummy protruding. Thanks for the great tips!
You are so welcome!
Also they advise you wrap your non existant waist with a belt. Drives me crazy...
AGREED! Finally the myth about the wrap dresses is debunked!
I am one of those women whom wrap dresses look like absolute crap on.
I'm plus size and just love the wrap dress ! It truly works for me !
🙋♀️”Form fitting but not figure hugging” - perfect!😊
I know everyone's already talked about it but I still wanna thank your for the choice you made to show us women who actually have a tummy to hide. It's a bit disheartening watching the average UA-cam video with perfect figure models used as examples.
You did something different and smart. Thank you for the great advice too!!
I absolutely love how you're not restricting on anything and just giving us the right method of wearing what we wanna wear ❤️
Omg women that actually look like me featured in these looks ! Thank you forever !!
Yay! That's great to hear :)
Fabulous tips on hiding that tummy using REAL plus size women. Finally someone who REALLY GETS IT and who has a real sense of style!!! Love love love your fashion suggestions. Thank you 🖐💃
I wish they would show midsize women. There seems to be models who are plus or tiny..no midsize models.
I love everything you said and how you said it. My beautiful grandmother worked almost 50 years selling fine women’s clothing, and she always talked about the importance of “good foundation undergarments” and good posture! Grannie Lillian knew how to disguise a midsection, play to strengths (her gorgeous face and legs!), and use accessories to focus attention in the right places. I like to think she helped countless women look and feel better from the mid-1940s through the early 1990s. Thank you so much for doing the same with your lovely advice, and I am delighted I found you today! 💝🕊
Aww your grannie Lillian sounded lovely - thanks for sharing her with us Kathryn :)
This was an extremely informative segment and should be in print form in a magazine. I use the "long and lean" creating vertical lines with clothing like kimonos, jackets, open tunics worn as a duster, and scarves where I am a stylist.
Sounds like you're totally onto it there Catherine - thanks for watching :)
We need to come out of lock down with this kind of kindness
My fave is a shift dress, very forgiving and smart in dark colours with a V neck but the dress must end slightly above knee . Nice shoes is a must. Good job on your tips 👍🏽
Couldn't agree more - thanks for sharing Thila :)
What if you have ugly legs
Then just below the knee. I have that issue.
Shift dresses run so short on me, can’t bend over!
Agree with everything except for me the shift dress looks much better just below the knee.
I like the sleeve tip... thank you. That was exactly what I was doing... i really liked the length at the elbow... but not if its going to zero in on my belly!!!
Yes it's one that not many people realise but it really does make a difference getting those sleeve lengths right :)
Thanks for this. I thought I was the only person who thinks Empire line makes us look pregnant, I've seen that suggested by so many people, and it made no sense to me. Great suggestions!
Yes I've never found it flattering for that reason to be honest :)
I use belt and it’s great 😀❤️
Uh, I really don't like the empire line.
Finally someone who sees how dreadful the empire look is on full figured women. Also those tops with the little skirts at the bottom make you look larger too.
I don’t like empire dresses it makes me look pregnant. I got rid of them and the blouses too
Finally someone who delivers the message concisely, clearly, and informative; vs others who take forever...with their disclaimers, apologies, repetitiveness, and promotion of products. Easy to listen to, easy to learn and so much more information provided because she didn't waste our time. Wonderful! Will quit searching and just follow you and will spread the word. Keep up the awesome work.
I LOVE this video! I appreciate how you show the different styles on all the different body types. As an apple body, everyone preaches the wrap dress to me but I hate it. I have a large chest and I feel so exposed in a wrap dress. Your advice really makes a lot of sense to me!
I used to love watching Trinny and Susannah on What Not To Wear. I have a book they released during the series explaining all the different body shapes and showing what clothing would flatter them. That would make a fantastic series - Dressing for your Body Shape. 🥰
I used to love watching Trinny and Susannah too - they were so good and worked so well together. Love your idea for a dressing for your body shape series - will definitely look at doing that so thanks :)
@@Thestyleinsider. also for height. I'm short but not petite! I am an endomorph shaped lady so have thick calves, apple shape. I do workout to keep myself in check but would love to see a desired about thick short petite ladies!
Loved this video-so many helpful tips while being respectful *and* supportive of my attempt to accept my body at it’s current size. Thank you!
Thank you SO much for your kind comment Melissa - I really appreciate it - THANK YOU!
This is one of the best, most insightful styling videos I’ve ever watched! I’m young and carry weight around stomach but also have a very high and short waist. Your tips are brilliant and very insightful!
Love this video. 👍 Thank you!!
Awesome! Thank you!
I'm short wasted, too. This is an excellent video with practical and real advice.
@@lynns8057 I agree!
At last some one who uses logic as opposed to rules. Love the models depicted more real life than the usual we see good for you!
Thanks Mary :)
Finally someone who makes points concisely, and clearly and plentiful; without all the diclaimers, personal stories and promotions for products. Thus 3asy to listen to, easy to learn from, and plentiful well thought out advice - because she hadn't wasted the time! Thank you. Plan to get all my tips from your Chanel, and will spread the word.
THANK YOU for showing regular sized models and practical styles. You’re the best!!
You are so welcome! Thank you :)
"regular-sized" you have got to be kidding. My God they were obese. Let's stop trying to normalize obese people. There is a pandemic of horrible overweight people. It's NOT healthy.
Please put the accounts of the instagrammers in 👌🏻☺️
@@creativegirl9710 well that was rude
🤣🤣🤣 morbidly obese is not and will never be “regular” but fast becoming the norm 😔 bad for health…😢
Great tips, Leonie. I hated those low-rise pants we were forced to wear for 20 years. Not only did they make my belly pop over the top, but because I’m long-waisted, my BARE belly showed, too. I just never wore pants until high-waisted came back, they’re so much more flattering. You’re the best, keep the good stuff coming!
Yes I've got a long torso too and the exact same thing would happen to me which is why I'm thrilled high waisted are back too - thanks for your kind words :)
Just followed you on instagram, what a great account! You look amazing, and it's not the subtle tweaks here and there(many, many of us have had stuff done) it's your attitude and amazing sense of style.Thanks for the inspiration!💗
Thanks so much Gina :)
These tips are truly genius Leonie. I have aways been thin until menopause and I now have a muffin top and can not wear what I use to. You have helped me immensely, thank you. xo, Cowgirl Deb
Yay! I'm thrilled my video helped you out Deb :)
Debra Rozich unfair isn’t it
Great advice! All of it. So good to see sensible, realistic advice for the tummied girls. I'm a NZ size 22/24 and have been for years so I think I've really developed the knack of dressing for my shape. Most advice you hear is rubbish, like the classic "go for empire styles" and "avoid prints". There is always an exception that disproves the rule and that would probably be my top tip - dont follow "the rules" but rather notice what actually enhances you, what makes you smile, do you feel confident, which colours make you glow? For myself my top tip is to be a bit 'quirky' not like Mimi from The Drew Carey show! But as a teenager I loved the whole punk vibe and as I've gotten older I've gravitated back to that type of look, but obviously updated and "age appropriate". For example I wear a lot of black and darker colours and I love my white Dr Marten shoes. I think this gives me a point of difference in todays Instagram culture where everyone tries so hard to conform to the latest trends. I dont buy Fast Fashion which has awful synthetic fabrics and the way they just size up a standard size pattern so that you end up with arm holes that gape and sleeves down to your knees doesnt flatter anyone! I buy local NZ designers like Euphoria and Lost And Led Astray so the fabrics are good quality, natural fibres and the patterns and styles are literally designed for the chubby Kiwi gal. It's all about less is more for me and I no longer buy an item of clothing unless I truly LOVE it.
Your page just popped up and I’m glad it did. Thank you, I’ve learned so much.
Hi Leonie, thank you for such a refreshing and honest video. I'm sure a lot of us are in need of this advice right now, I know I definitely am! As I can't replace the bulk of my clothes, and I'm actively trying to lose a few pounds now, this advice is invaluable. I can see where I've been going wrong now! Thank you, as always. Stay safe, Izzy
Glad this video was well timed for you Izzy - good luck on dropping those few extra pounds too :)
High waist indeed! I rediscovered high waist and not only it hides the tummy, it elongates the legs. Bonus. The sleeve tip I had never heard of. That's smart. Thanks Leonie 😉
Yes they do elongate your legs too - I think I forgot to mention that so thanks for sharing :)
I totally agree with you about wrap dresses...I like the shift dresses, thanks for your advice
Exceptional. This video was awesome. She really did educate us about facts the average person does not know. Great tip about vertical stripes and fabulous accessories.
Thank you! Finally tips that are realistic and practical.
I have often worn clothes that are oversized to try to detract from my apple shape but have got lots of better ideas now. Thank you
Yes it's quite a natural thing to do but it's often not the most flattering :)
Love this video. I have put on 12 pounds and I am depressed. I have always been thin, but the lockdown caused an emotional eating binge! I found your video invaluable. 💜💙💜
Thank you Lynn and I’m sorry to hear you’re depressed. I really do hope you can find something to smile about again real soon. Sending lots of love your way 😘
I recommend Peplum tops!!!!!Very flattering on the smallest part of your waist but covers the tummy! Especially if you're feeling bloated.
Great idea!!
Love them, but they can be hard to find!
Unless it hits at your muffin top, then it just accents it!
Love peplum as well. It is difficult to find ones that are of a sturdier fabric, such as cotton or a cotton blend. Polyester ones don’t work for me.
Peplum doesn't work at all if you have a belly you want to hide. You will just look like a bell.
Thank you for your comments on the wrap dress, I agree, I've noticed that most all wrap dress I've seen is well clingy. Love the various models and your sense of reality. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Great advice , I also think that fit around the shoulder and neckline in super important . If the shoulder isn’t well fitted the garment can look saggy and baggy ,not a good look . Sometimes shoulder pads can help with this especially if you have sloping shoulders .
Brilliant Leonie -- all creative suggestions we can use when we emerge from elastic-waist, lockdown territory ! I liked your last point best of all because it skewed positive ... to focus first on our best points, and build from there.
Thanks so much Kath! 😊
Yes, I used to think hanging a long scarf down in front would elongate me, and was frustrated that it never did. Now I realize that the scarf ENDS at the waist - just the area I don't want to emphasize! Thanks Leonie.
Excellent presentation, really enjoyed it and gave me great tips. Thanks very much💐😀
I am so HAPPY for your amazing advice. I stumbled into your videos, they are so helpful. Great work.
I love the advice about not ruling out shopping at plus size. In recent months, I've been really trying to find the perfect pair of jeans that I can tuck my shirt in and not be concious of my tummy. The current pair of jeans that I love has a stretchy waist band and so do maternity pants. Looking through Target maternity pants reviews, other nonpreggo ladies were buying maternity pants and love it! Never rule out some really good options!
Whatever works, Baby!
My mom used to make clothes for my dad’s mom because grandma couldn’t find clothes that fit. Mom would never let grandma see the patterns because she used maternity sewing patterns.
@@kathygann1180 That's a great story! 😃 In the same vein of family stories, my mom had a big tummy, but killer legs (and wasn't fat overall). I inherited the same apple shape. Sigh. I sure wish I knew how to sew - I'd make my own clothes!
I so agree with your comment about posture. I have found by taking notice of my posture when passing by a reflective surface (mirror, window, etc.), reminds me to adjust my posture. This not only improves the way my close hang, but improves my attitude and mood as well.
Well said and so true :)
👍
Great advice and just enjoyable to listen to. Keep up the good work!
Aww thanks so much Shelly :)
I've just found your video, and the hints and tips you've given are amazing. Having had major abdominal surgery a few years ago I've lost all muscle strength around my stomach area, and even an abdominal binder doesn't do much. In hot weather it's so uncomfortable. So I joined the ranks of the baggy tee shirt brigade which although helps a bit, it doesn't do much if I want to get frocked up for an evening out, or meet friends for lunch. I love the half tucked in look, the layered look and the A line shift dresses. So thank you very much, from the U.K. 🇬🇧
I feel so relaxed watching your video because you are really helping with your attitude. I love the tips, not yet used to the half tuck 🌟
😊
Thank you so much for this wonderful video! It's so informative and you thought of everyone and you showed us regular women!! YAAAAYY! TFS. Oh, I hit that bell to make sure I don't miss any videos!!🥰🥰
Thanks so much Liz and I'm pleased you enjoyed this one :)
So glad I found your video! Thanks for sharing and I agree with everything you said.
Wooooow!!!! I loved this video; it was so helpful. I had my first child in Sept and since becoming pregnant obviously my body has changed so much. I have always been petite and relatively athletic, not so much now. I’ve been frustrated because I didn’t know how to dress myself anymore and it has made me feel quite self conscious. I’m so excited to try these tips. Thank you thank you thank you!
Glad it was helpful and just remember to be kind on yourself - your body has just done something incredible :)
Half tuck is the best thing they come up with, I do it with skits, jeans, and trousers.
Now I really love the new voluminous dresses, now you have to be careful, usually looks best when your thinner. Puff sleeve dresses, brings your eyes up, I find those to be very nice,
Great idea with the shorter jacket. I tend to reach for light weight kimono, love them.
Horizontal lines look with the dress is great if it roughed in the tummy area.
I’m not a fan of shape wear , but no matter your size everything looks , I.e., dress look much better. Regardless. You could up a size in spandex and there aren’t so bad.
Eileen Fisher pieces always work for me , when I feel a bit bloated 💕
I love your advice and your videos, keep them coming girl 👍🏽 I did the half tuck today then came home and just watched your video. Great minds think alike 😉
Yay! Great minds do think alike :)
Lots of great tips here. Thank you!
Glad you found them helpful Cynthia :)
This is one of the best videos I’ve watched on flattering your figure! I tend to go big & frumpy so this has been super insightful!♥️
That's great to hear - so glad you found this video helpful.
I think neckline matter too. I try to always opt for v-necks. I feel like they elongate a little, and draw the eye upwards, away from my belly.
Good call :)
Your models and outfits were beautiful. Also, your suggestions on styling were spot on. Thanks
Thank you so much!
Thank you! You are incredible! I love your teachings!🥰
So glad!
Best one I’ve seen on this issue. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it Jo Ann 😊
Awesome tips, love the small print information so easy to change it up. Amelia Coks comment gave me tingles, what a lovely community following so glad I found you
Thanks so much Jess 😃
Love your tips Leonie they've always worked for me.
That’s great to hear Judy 🤩
Sleeve length matters!? Wow thank you for these helpful tips :)
You bet!
This is my first time on your video. I really like what you are saying. You speak so much sense. I very much look forward to your next video! Thank you.
That’s great to hear - thx Gaynor 👍🏼
Great tips as always! The A line dress has always been a problem for me , with or without a belly. I am very top heavy compared to the rest of my body and because of that any oversize anything without any closeness/skimming the middle section is going to make me look bigger. Sheath dresses can work but I do have to size up for the girls. I do like wearing men's shirt at the moment since with the plague has come the plague of weight gain. Thanks for sharing and blessing to you and all in the days to come.
Thanks Denise and yes sheath dresses for you would need to have a slightly lower neckline to be the most flattering but I'm sure you already know that - thanks for sharing :)
Fantastic advice for us apple shaped ladies with good slim legs.
Learnt so much from this video and already experimenting with my clothes.
A little tweek here and there
Thank u Leonie
Leanne
That's great to hear - so pleased you found some good tips in this video :)
Very useful advice!!! 🥰 Love it!
Thank you for your practical advice. I am 5'1 so I never thought about checking out the plus size fashion. I'd been checking out maternity wear and get depressed about it.
This was perfect timing for my new postpartum body❣️🌟😊
So glad!
Thanks love! This is legit advice. I fancy my new buys especially the high waist boyfriend jeans
A little confused as I follow Erin and a few others. I’m carrying extra weight since lockdown and I gave up smoking end of January so a UK size 14. They suggest adding belts, wearing t’s or shirts, half tuck etc but definitely suggest wearing belts no matter how large can give you shape. Otherwise I really have enjoyed your last two videos and am interested in your take on things. X
Best insightful styling vedio...Thank you so much for the practical tips
Yay! Thanks for watching :)
Wish I could like this video more than once. Thank you. Great ideas and illustrations
Wow, thank you!
I’m sorry but most of your suggestions, which I think are really smart, only work if you have a flat behind. When you have a big behind like I do, kimonos and big shirts get stuck on it! Your styling is great and I love that you did this!
Fantastic content, Leonie, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it Mary :)
Excellent suggestions. I heard a few of them before your video. However, so much for the ideas they were great!
Glad you like them 👏🏼
This video was fantastic! Thank you for the tips.
Yay glad you liked it
I was just thinking how thin you looked when you said you’d gained weight.😂💖
I do look thin in the face in this video for some reason - not so much around my middle lol 🤦🏻♀️😂
The Style Insider I’ve started doing Chloe Ting You tube exercises because I’m growing a COVID belly since I’m stuck working from home.😂
The tip about the sleeve length is excellent!
I have always been an apple shape, even losing 90 pounds my middle is still the biggest part of my body. These are great suggestions and the examples were very helpful.
How did you lose 90 lbs?
@@susanbarlow4841 I started keto in January 2017. No products, drinks, or fake foods, strictly meat, vegetables, and dairy. The key was getting me off the sugar and carbs. I’m still down between 80 and 90 pounds but it does get harder to keep the weight off the older I get. Once I lost I had to learn how to dress my new body since I had been heavy for most of my entire adult life. I wanted to be more stylish.
Thank you so much for this video. Sometimes I feel like we are forgotten.
These techniques are great! I usually choose a freshman size outfit and show my advantage curve.
Thanks a billion...it was so good had to listen again!!💕
Yay :)
I love these practical tp[s. One of the best set of advice re hiding the tummy
Brilliant, sensitive, not offensive, practical, thank you ! Subscribing
Awesome, thank you!
Very good practical advice. Thanks much.
Thanks for watching!
Love this one, great ideas 👌🏻
Thanks Lisa - glad you liked it :)
Love love this video thank you so much for all the info. I am trying to bring my tummy down. Also when it comes to undergarments do you have a brand in mind? Thank you so much🤗
Glad it was helpful!
You are one of the best stylists! Your tips are fantastic, especially for a full figured woman. ❤
Hi Leonie, thanks for the tips. It's summer here, and I have a collection of short sleeve swing dresses in light materials. They skim the body and keep me cool when it's hot enough to cook an egg on the pavement.
Oh they sound perfect and wow that does sound hot - especially for me at the moment as it's mid Winter here :(
Totally agree with the form fitting but not figure hugging! One of my friends wears everything a size too small and I’ve tried to tell her in gentle ways but she just won’t hear me! I don’t know how to get this across to her!
Yes it's definitely not an easy subject to broach I'm afraid :)
💞Best Video Ever💞
Thank You‼️
I'm glad you like it :)
No wonder my tiny-print shift dress makes me feel lovely. I love all your tips. Yes to NO wrap dress and empire tops :)
I so appreciated this video. I have put on 8 lbs. right in my mid-section. I took 6 pairs of pants & jeans to the tailor to let out two inches on the waistbands because I have no intention of putting on any more. Emotional eating.....and it has to stop now. Stay well.
I think most of us can relate at the moment :(
Can they let out waistbands? How is that possible?
Anthropology has plus size fashionable clothes! You can order online and return if possible
Very informative and helpful. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great tips I needed this❤️
Glad it was helpful!
Great tips! And comprehensive. Cheers!
Glad you enjoyed it Judith!
@@Thestyleinsider. And posture? It's EVERYTHING. I almost "lose" the weight I've gained when I stand up straight and square my shoulders!
This was well done
Great video, thanks for your excellent tips.
Thx so much - I’m glad you enjoyed it 👍🏼
Phew! I needed these ideas
"Stand up and be proud" Love that
Thank you for the good advice. I’ll give it a try.
You’re welcome Barbara 👍🏼
Great tips! Thank you.
Thank you for such helpful tips in style
Lovely to see your brilliant videos again, thank you for showing cute and curvy girls instead of mainly thin girls, please add more .x
Thank you! Will do!
I don’t think I’ve ever grown out of my maternity style dressing, my girls are 18 and almost 22! 🤣
Me too!
Makes perfect sense to me :)
Hhh that’s really sweet hhh
