Fashion for Moms: Dressing Your Postpartum Body

Start with wrap tops and dresses. They will accommodate your new bustline nicely, and the wrap style helps to cut the curviness of your post-pregnancy tummy with its diagonal lines. Tops with rouching (gathering along the vertical seams of a shirt) also help to conceal any belly bulges by gathering over your flaws and hiding them.

Tops and knits with volume, which are a great new trend, also will help to camouflage any excess weight on your upper body—just be sure to pair them with a leaner bottom. V-neck tops always work magic to minimize fuller busts and bring the eye up to the face.

You also can try layering a pair of leggings under your favorite skirts and dresses to smooth out your leg line and hold you in.
