Admit it. You just had a baby, you are having sleepless nights, you smell of breast milk and the last thing you want is people telling you that you still look pregnant. I have no experience with motherhood. But I am a curvy girl and here is what I do to hide my little belly from showing.

1. Wear loose blouses- This is the time to put skin-tight attire behind you.You don’t want your clothing hugging the belly fat. An attractive, loose blouse will do the trick at hiding a protruding belly. One size larger than your normal choice.Chunky sweaters and cardigans paired over one of your blouses will help distract eyes away from your belly.

2. Long tops – Longer lined tops that that end below your hips, paired with jeans. Perfecto!

3. Peasant shirt or blouse – Designed to be worn loose. The perfect option.
4. Men’s-style button-down shirts.
5. Shirt-dresses –  Belted just above or below your tummy.
6. Statement T-Shirts – Have them on and draw the attention away from the tummy.
7. Layers – Unless you are trying to hide your pregnancy right in the middle of summer, layers of clothing will be your best friend. A nice winter coat or work blazer can help you conceal a belly.
8. Long tunics – Pair with some skinny jeans, voila! That’s one hot new momma.
9. Wear flowy skirts or dresses - This is probably the most popular way to cover the postpartum belly. Long flowy skirts and dresses are so comfortable and you can even wear them with a thick pair of tights or leggings and boots. Skirts with an elastic waistline that will not cut off your circulation are best.
10. Black – Black makes your belly bump look a lot smaller or even makes it completely disappear. Stick with dark colors including navy blue, dark grey, and chocolate brown.  Black leggings with a loose fitting top will look fabulous!
11. Prints or patterns – Certain prints can do a great job at hiding a baby bump. The print on the shirt or dress will actually hide any bump if you choose the right print. Don’t go for a horizontal print but instead look for something in a diagonal print or a vertical print that will help slim your body. Handkerchief dresses are also great options as they flow.
12. Accessories – Scarves and jewellery help to pull attention away from your stomach area
13. Wrap tops –  Anything that can drape across your body like a wrap top is a great idea.  You may just be surprised at how this works and no one will even notice the little bump you may have going on.
14. Maternity pants- Even if the baby is out, the pooch still remains and still visible. Those maternity pants will be comfortable. I use them and I certainly vouch for them. 
15. A large handbag – Position your bag in front of your bump, making for a very stylish disguise
16. Baby doll – A cute babydoll shirt or dress can make a bump invisible to prying eyes.

Dont just restrict yourself to these ideas. Mix and match and add a pop of colour to your make up or just some kohl and you are ready to roll.
