Your wardrobe may have been fabulous at one time, but after the birth of your baby, your closet looks depressing, at best. Getting dressed to leave the house can be dreadful; none of your clothes fit and you feel terrible. Learn ways to dress that flatter your new figure and make you feel great after having a baby.
Instructions
1. Go shopping. These are probably the best words you’ve heard since “you’re pregnant," but it’s true. You need to ditch the old clothes and get some new threads. Buy clothes that match your new body. Your old clothes may not flatter your new body type so take advantage of the situation and purchase clothes for the new you.
2. Wear your pre-pregnancy clothes if they still fit and flatter your new body type. You may notice some new curves and “that little something extra” that you didn’t have before. Only continue to wear the clothes that you don’t have to pull and tug at for them to fit properly. If you have to constantly adjust yourself and are not comfortable in what you are wearing, odds are other people can tell as well.
3. Wear long tunic-like tank tops if you want to continue to wear your pre-pregnancy shirts. Long, fitted tank tops can firm your tummy and give a slimming and form flattering appearance. Be sure to match your tank with the color shirt that you are wearing over it so that it flatters your outfit as well. Long tanks look great with fitted straight leg or skinny jeans!
4. Try wearing a body shaper if you are still a little self conscious about the appearance of your stomach, even under clothes. Body shapers function like long tank tops, offering a slimming support under those tight shirts. It is thought that body shapers and girdles can even help to bring all of your organs back into place faster and assist in toning your tummy. Some new mothers swear by them and I’m sure you’ve heard your mother suggest it a time or two.
5. Avoid colors and patterns that draw attention to you’re the different parts of your body. Try to stay away from wearing all one color. Don’t wear horizontal stripes or really big patterns up top, this draws a lot of attention to your midsection.
6. Stay away from really loose, frumpy clothes. They don’t do a new mother any justice. It looks like you’re trying to hide something. Feel confident about what you put on your body.
