A dress is the best clothes for a girl, because only in it can you feel truly attractive and desirable. But, unfortunately, many girls refuse this outfit due to figure flaws. One of the most common problems is a protruding belly. The appearance of a "tummy" is not always the girl's fault. It can appear not only due to malnutrition and neglect of sports, but also due to childbirth or illness. In an effort to disguise the protruding belly, girls usually use two radical methods: either put on "robes" that hide the figure, or pulled into tight clothes, hoping that it will visually make them slimmer.

Which length to give preference: long, midi or short?
Long Dresses
They visually stretch the figure, so they are great for hiding the tummy.

However, this property of floor-length dresses does not work for girls with very small stature. "Thumbelina" long dress makes it even lower. Therefore, if you belong to petite girls, it is better to refuse it.

Mid-length dresses
Midi dresses are suitable for a wide variety of body types. This is the best option for those who want to mask the protruding belly.

A mid-length skirt seductively reveals the legs, at the same time, hiding all problem areas of the body.

Short dresses
This is the most dangerous area for girls who are shy about their tummy. A mini-skirt, especially if it fits the hips, horizontally divides the figure in the place where this one is not needed at all. Choose loose cuts that won't accentuate your tummy. A flared skirt will also work if you have narrow hips.

To avoid mistakes, it is better to abandon ultra-short dresses altogether, having determined for yourself the maximum permissible length one palm above the knee.

Which color would work best?
You need to choose the color for the dress that suits you. This is very important to remember, since many girls, knowing that dark colors visually make the figure slimmer, run bright colors in their wardrobe. Having dressed in a black and gray color scheme, you can, of course, correct your figure, but constantly dressing in dark colors, it is easy to forget about other advantages of your appearance.

A fresh complexion, a beautiful eye tint, an unusual hair color - all this can be emphasized with a dress of the correct color. Therefore, bright, rich or delicate, pastel colors should definitely be in your wardrobe.

A dress with side panels, contrasting in color, visually narrows the figure - girls with a tummy must take a closer look at this style. If you like dresses with prints, then choose vertical patterns - such a pattern "stretches" the figure.

A little about fabrics
If you have a protruding belly, you should avoid tight-fitting fabrics. Avoid dresses made of fine knitwear or elastic guipure. These materials will not only highlight all existing folds, but also add new ones. If you like openwork fabrics, then choose models of dresses with guipure sleeves or a neckline, but let the problem areas be covered with denser material.

Also, you need to be careful with glossy fabrics, since the shiny surface seems larger than it actually is. Therefore, it is better to put silk and satin dresses aside. So, your choice is dense, matte fabrics such as cotton, linen, velor, crepe-chiffon, cambric, etc.

What color visually corrects the figure?
Not only the length of the dress, but also its color can visually adjust the figure. The entire color palette is divided into two parts: one includes warm shades, and the other - cold ones. At the same time, one color in the spectrum can have both warm and cold tones. Cold shades tend to visually make the distance to the object more, and warm shades, on the contrary, reduce it. Therefore, in order to create the illusion of a decrease in volume, you need to choose clothes in a cold range.

Learning to distinguish cold tones from warm tones is very easy. The warmest color on the color palette is orange, and the coldest color is purple. Now take a close look at the color fan: the part that is closer to orange is warm, and the part that is closer to purple is cold.

Finishing value
The initial function of finishing the fabric is decorative. But in the event that it is necessary to hide the presence of the belly, trim is given more importance, as it shifts the focus from the figure to the outfit. There are a lot of types of dress finishing: drapery, lace inserts, embroidery, applique, and fringe - you can list it for a very long time. To make the finish work into your hands, avoid horizontal lines and small patterns. Vertical decorative stitching or embroidery, drapery flowing from top to bottom - these are the most effective methods of visual body shaping.

What accessories to choose?
Accessories are another faithful assistant in the fight against a protruding belly. As well as finishing, they are intended to distract attention to themselves. There are several options for using accessories to mask this flaw:
- Items that create vertical lines, such as long cravats or chains.
- Eye-catching things that create accents in the right places, for example, large brooches or artificial flowers (but in no case do not fasten them at the waistline - it is better to choose a neckline for this).
- Using a variety of straps. Wide corset belts should be placed directly at the waist, and thin ones - slightly higher and worn with loose-fitting loose-fitting dresses.

Tips: hide your belly and sides
- Corrective underwear - this is a thing that ladies with a problem waistline should wear, if not every day, then at least in cases when you need to look your best. Slimming underwear can be of different types - separately top and bottom, or a solid model, reminiscent of a jumpsuit.
- Develop the correct posture: as soon as we begin to slouch, the abdominal muscles instantly relax and the stomach "falls out". When walking, try to lean on the spine: then the stomach is automatically pulled up, and you look slimmer.
- Shift your focus to the strengths of your figure, and its flaws will become less noticeable. What do you like the most about yourself? Maybe it's a lush chest, or maybe a beautiful back or slender legs. What you are proud of must be emphasized with the right style of dress.

I have a protruding tummy. I tend to go for high-waisted dresses.
