For a More Bountiful Belly

You may want to try a panty that features "shaper" qualities, or a reinforced front support panel, such as a Medium Control Brief for a little extra tummy support.

Opt for vertical stripes on skirts and pants; they'll add the impression of length, slim the belly and give a slimmer look to your lower body overall.

Try a prominent collar or interesting brooch at the collar area to draw attention upwards, giving a pretty balance.

Choose designs with tiers of graduated fabric; the swerve and movement elegantly de-emphasize any surplus tummy.

Wider-leg trousers are a nice option as they call attention away from the belly, providing overall balance.

In closing, remember, it's all about balance and proportion ‑- and really good underwear!
