Tops to conceal extra baby weight..

I had my son in August. Before I got pregnant I was overweight and had a belly. My worst problem was having a spare tire. Well since he was born, my skin got all stretched and made it worse Chat Icon My body completely changed and it feels like all the extra fat got magnetized to that area. I of course want to work on losing weight but in the meantime - where do you shop to find nice tops that conceal that - without people thinking I am PG again? I love the empire waist tops but I know at work people will start rumors about me..

Any suggestions? Chat Icon

After I had Cailen, and I had the muffin top going, I wore longer button down tops... almost like a short shirt dress length, and then cinched them with cute wide belts. It is a nice slimming look.

What size are you?

I actually went to Marshall's and bought some things to help suck in my post-baby muffin top Chat Icon

They're by "barely there" or something like that - and they are like underwear with a BIG panel on top that sucks in your belly. I still have 15 lbs to lose from my 47 lb. gain but you can barely tell in this!

I also wear a lot of looser fitting button down tops (good for BFing & pumping!).

I'd stay away from empire/babydoll style because they def. make us look pregnant!

I'd go with more flowy tops... Target had a few cute ones recently.

Get a pair of spanx that go all the way up to right under your bra that will help ALOT ..... I wear these with a few outifts bc of my "extra" skin hanging from the pregnancy

All I wear is blazers for this reason.

If I wear an empire waist top & it doesn't make me look pg, I'll wear it open. Otherwise I wear it closed with jeans & cute flats or boots.

Not sure what the style is called but I feel like they sell these types of styles all over
