Hi lovely ladies, I hope you are doing well. I'd love for you to share below what your own tips and tricks are for hiding a tummy. What are your favourite techniques that you find work well? Lots of love to you all. Deirdre. XX

[@Gina19876]

Tunic tops with tight leggings also work like a charm.

[@miriamariel6185]

❤

[@lynnleipold2617]

Any top or dress that skims my body and is not too short

[@hilkakurth4311]

High rise jeans, leggings,panties it helps smooth the middle section.

[@tinagarner5117]

@@lynnleipold2617😢😮😮😮😮😮😅😅

[@jlogan7653]

I'm always amazed that tipsters like yourself use pencil thin models when discussing overweight issues. These young girls don't have a tummy or anything else to hide.

[@susieduzie466]

I came just to say the same thing

[@jancyking582]

Some of the models look like they need a good meal

[@nancywiggins6299]

I didn't see a model that had a tummy to hide!

[@vblackwell3347]

It would definitely be more realistic if models had the actual body builds being discussed. 😅

[@user-ix8qv1uy4r]

Please use models representing a problem with a tummy. Not cool to use pencil stick models. Is that ur way of being covertly sarcastic???

[@sheilahall7588]

Great ideas but it would be nice to see all models that actually did have bulk near the tummy area.

[@50FabulouswithMyFriendDeirdre]

I'm totally with you, Sheila. It's actually hard to find models that have tummies. I have tried to include as many as I could. XX

[@sheilahall7588]

@@50FabulouswithMyFriendDeirdre thanks for trying.

[@Enoch-nn1id]

Who want to see a flabber jabber, clothes never look good on afatso

[@carolalvarez3925]

...also so very happy to see you are not advising us to tuck or half tuck. So many influencers can't seem to understand that we all cannot do this. Thank you so much for this video!

[@50FabulouswithMyFriendDeirdre]

XXX

[@gf3011]

Yes, I don't know if it's just me but tucking just gives me double big belly: above and below

[@bethelobiyor]

😂😂😂😂

[@minkgin3370]

It’s as if - I have a fat belly, here it is, take a good luck. I’ve never done it as I can’t see how it can hide it.

[@punkaakee]

Half tucks are the most idiotic thing ever to happen to fashion. And I lived through the 90’s.

[@Janeburns-mi9dh]

Great ideas, but why not use models who actually have a belly?

[@Canneveroverblue]

No kidding, showing skinny models doesn't work here.

[@marymaguire6623]

The style tip is so brilliant that these models are hiding their bellies........🙂

[@vblackwell3347]

Because it's harder to make ppl look as good as they do w/o it - dammit!

[@momofschnauzers]

Finally, an expert who agrees that "tucking in" isn't always the best solution. You have offered some really good advice and we appreciate you doing so.

[@50FabulouswithMyFriendDeirdre]

Thank you so much xx

[@christineanne7834]

Finally! Someone who agrees that wrap tops are Not for everyone., I actually think they emphasize a large chest but they are always suggested.

[@marilyndomin2942]

Thank you for some great tips. At 70 my tummy is an issue but I want to look up to date and would like to feel confident. Love your blue and white striped shirt!

[@50FabulouswithMyFriendDeirdre]

That's brilliant, Marilyn. XX

[@maryhines8865]

Yes! What a relief to hear sensible ways to de emphasize the big tummy. You are boldly brave to swim against the current of belts, tucking etc. Thank you so much!

[@user-qc6hj6vf6m]

Great comments, and yes! Thank God someone who recognises that tuck or 1/2 tuck DO NOT work on everyone!

[@lindasantos7442]

I can't tell you how much I enjoyed these very useful tips on how to deal with problem areas. Plus you didn't discuss the horrible half tuck which has been talked to death.❤❤🎉

[@loriheartsmakeup9125]

Thank you for this video. This is such good, practical advice. There are other KZbinrs who insist that everyone should always tuck in. I couldn't disagree with that more. Your suggestions are a lot more flattering and realistic.

[@50FabulouswithMyFriendDeirdre]

Thanks Lori. Take care. XX

[@SharonRStudio]

Thank you ! You said do not tuck. I tried a half tuck as suggested elsewhere and it made me look heavier!

[@FR-tb7xh]

The bigger the tummy, the more important it is for ‘our girls’ to be high! You’d be amazed how a good supporting bra can completely draw the eye up from the belly. Dark first layers can minimize, too, with a long colored top and a popped collar to finish. About shift dresses for summer - I love Tommy Bahama for comfortable high quality, upbeat prints, and beautiful colors - often with pockets!

[@rosemarydavis8729]

Love your videos, Deirdre…so classy and stylish for those of us over 50. You always show realistic clothes that aren’t outrageously expensive and don’t involve 3-4” heels. Absolutely love your channel!

[@50FabulouswithMyFriendDeirdre]

Thank you so much, Rosemary. Lots of love. XX

[@bethelobiyor]

Me too

[@meanpeoplesuck4355]

All great tips, however, it would be really awesome when you're showing examples of what to wear to have them on women who actually have a tummy! So many of these examples are modeled on thin, young women. There's no way they'll look like they do on them on us more "mature with tummy" women. :)

[@bethlangevin9669]

Best comment

[@joyceaitchison5900]

Hi I like how you just get right into the subject straight away Thank You

[@purplethumb7887]

I have been in LOVE with blouses with statement sleeves lately, and they are all I have purchased.

[@donnajohnson6227]

I appreciate the diverse body styles and the way you always bring it back to personal preference--i.e. don't do this unless you love it.

[@kallasusort2986]

clothing manufacturers always make tops with "horizontal" lines for plus sizes. What is wrong with them? I have known this trick for decades. And large women still buy those tops?? Thank you - good info

[@teddyroon]

Agreed. I live in France and despair of finding a top or blouse with vertical stripes, even in shops that cater for women my age (64). A marinière makes my bust look huge😬

[@karenwatkiss2950]

Thankyou for sharing your tips .

[@TuReina1115]

Thanks for all the recomendations

[@noagruber8028]

my absolute favorite you tuber. No politics no opinionated rubbish just real help in making us make t he best of ourselves. And your friendly warm manner is a real plus. xx

[@maryokeefe5351]

All good tips and I especially love the last one. My strategy has always been to gloss over the flabby bits with well-structured, well' fitting basics. So worth the investment in a good tailor. Then make sure the best bits are in tip top condition, such as great hair, pedicure, etc. Love your content and most of all your attitude, dear Deirdre. It is such a privilege to get older.

[@50FabulouswithMyFriendDeirdre]

I totally agree with you, Mary. Sending lots of love. XX

[@swissuz]

Good strategy. I have tried shapewear but I live in a hot climate and it makes me feel hot. It might be ok for an indoor event in the cooler months, but I find styles that help without it.

[@nikkil764]

Love your coastal granny blue and white. I just bought one myself and love it. I have the menopause middle for the first time. But I’m so happy with my life right now, couldn’t care less.

[@pattorelli3451]

[@Stalwart-zy3oo]

04/19/24. I do wear a belt sometimes with pants but having an over shirt or jacket cuts the picture of that horizontal line at my waist. That is the vertical opening, then the belt is the surprise element! A narrow belt is best for me. I am 5’2” tall and age 75 at end of April. I just purchased a sheath black dress and I am rectangular in shape. Not much waistline. This is for a summer wedding I am attending. Love the peplum tops and just purchased a ruch-style top this week. I am almost finished buying my summer clothing items except to update shoes and get 2 new handbags from Dooney and Bourke. I like the ‘dog leather leash’ in these satchel handbags to hook on keys. Great tips and I am enjoying your videos!

[@womanofacertainage5892]

Love this video. Funny enough, I have a large tummy and wear a lot of sheath dresses. As long as they aren't tight, they somehow manage to help make the belly appear more flat. I also wear a blazer over the sheath dress.

[@swissuz]

I agree with you also...a "tummy" is relative to only what we know. Especially someone whose weight fluctuates. Someone who has lost a good bit of weight may be ready to show off a slimmer body, and her circle of friends might see her that way too. Size or weight may affect different parts of the body. I have a large bust and a slim waist and when I gain weight it's usually in my hips. Some tips don't work for me when my "hourglass" shape is out of proportion. I can wear a half tuck because it flatters from the front. but covers from the back. I win!

[@joycegreer9391]

Cont. 2 : I also have a cream sweater with sparklies and sheer coming out of the bottom. And,a tan dress with spaghetti straps and a big huggy bear sweatshirt type covering and I bought a covering like that in what looks like tan fur, both with collar length zips. Also chocolate brown dress long with aqua flowers and tan stems and leaves , button up with colar, purple thin sweat suit, cool purple leggings and black silky sweats with white piping and silky black tee, blue jeans, tan khacky pants and silky grey tee. Grey stripped sweater dress, yellow tee to go with my orange coulottes with a message on it, a light peach peasant blouse and a up and down stepped wrap dress with muted pink, black and white stripes. My hair is black and I live in Yuma where is sunny during the day fall, winter.
