I’m midsize with a ‘marshmallow’ belly – I tried on a party dress haul in size 14/XL & felt like a beautiful disco ball
A MIDSIZE influencer shared different dresses she wears to flatter her figure – and don’t make her feel like a “marshmallow.”
Taryn is a size 14 influencer who makes content for midsized women featuring fashion tips & style inspiration, according to her TikTok account.
She shares videos with her followers of more than 70,000 people helping women who have a similar size as her dress cute and comfortable.
The fashion influencer describes her physique as having an apple body shape and also says her height is 5’6.
With the holidays right around the corner, the medium-sized style guru shared a video showing women who may not feel comfortable about their midsection that they can look great in a cocktail dress.
THE HAUL
Taryn captioned the video, which has been viewed almost 18,000 times saying that her “thick marshmallow tummy is normal but sometimes I don’t want her the star of the show!”
Her caption went on to ask viewers, “Which of these dresses is your fave?”
The video featured her starting off in undergarments, including underwear which she suggested for people with “marshmallow” tummies like hers before she tried on various gowns.
“All of these including my fave smoothing tummy underwear are in the folder ‘TikTok dress haul’ in my LTK [shop], Taryn said in her caption.
“Wearing a size 14 or xl in all of these holiday dresses,” she noted.
While still wearing her magic underwear which she said is “amazing” for controlling her soft tummy, Taryn added screen text to her video.
The video screen text said: “if you don’t feel great about your tummy, you HAVE TO watch this party dress try on!”
To jumpstart her haul of holiday party gowns, Taryn said she’d try on dresses that won’t make midsized women with fluffy stomachs “feel like a marshmallow.”
‘STUNNING’
One of the dresses Taryn sported in the video was a flowy material that fell right above her knees.
While wearing the black dress that also had a white pattern on it, the TikToker swayed the dress back and forth to show off its flattering style and material.
With delight, she added: “why is she so stunning?”
“Look at her,” she said about the dress as she gave viewers a close-up of the dress.
The black dress had a tie right under her breasts to accentuate her shape, which she noted could be removed to “replace it with your own belt” to “add a little bit of flare.”
“No marshmallow here,” she celebrated while admiring herself in the dress.
The dress is named the Maia Long Sleeve Geometric Fit + Flare Dress and is available in some sizes from JC Penney for $54.99 and can currently be purchased for even less with a holiday code on the site.
‘DRAMA’
In a sparkling pink and gold dress with a v-neck and a split near the thigh, Taryn joked, “is it me? Am I the drama?”
She simply admired herself from different angles in the bedazzled dress which had a black ribbon tied around it while shouting because she liked how she looked so much.
The drama dress is a ‘sequin ombre wrap dress’ plus-sized dress by Premier Amour.
It’s currently sold out in all plus sizes, according to JC Penney.
RUCHING HACK
“No matter how bad I’m feeling about my body,” Taryn said while wearing a longsleeved v-neck sparkly black dress, “a little ruching never betrays me.”
The dress’ ruching area makes more of her flattering shape pop as it pulls some material of the dress up and to the side of her body.
Taryn’s flattering ruching dress is a 52-seven brand long sleeve fit + flare dress that is $54.99 at JC Penney or around $40 with a holiday code that the store provides online.
DISCO BALL GLAM
Coming into the video with a beautiful short and gold embellished dress with a v-neck, Taryn said, “she’s giving!”
“She’s giving it all, she’s giving disco ball, she’s giving Shakira,” Taryn described.
“I cannot handle it,” she admitted. “It is so cute!”
Taryn said the gold sequin wrap dress from H&M is “lined underneath so there’s nothing itchy.”
The festive dress is available for $64.99 in black as well as the gold Taryn modeled in her TikTok video.
‘DARLING
Taryn showed off a black long-sleeved dress with a sweetheart-type neckline and layered flowing subtle ruffles at the bottom.
While wearing the flowing full black dress, she asked, “why is she so darling?”
“Look at this neckline,” she added as she shook her hips from side to side to show how it flows.
The ‘darling’ dress is available in multiple colors on Amazon for $34.99.
It’s a ‘ruffle mini flowy tiered short dress’ by a brand named ANRABESS.
Taryn’s followers really loved the different dresses she showed off for her body type.
“They all look good but the last black one looked fabulous,” someone said.
Taryn replied with: “Thank you,” with a smiling emoji with hearts around it.
Another person said: “Shakira,” with an emoji of a woman dancing in a flowy dress.
They went on to say: “Love!!!! But I have nowhere to go,” and added a laughing emoji.
The fashion TikToker replied with a laugh saying: “I feel this.”
“Maybe by owning the dress I will magically be invited to a place to wear it,” Taryn said in response.
“Omg,” one of her viewers commented with a shocked face emoji.
“That 2nd dress was made for you,” they added.
A TikToker chimed in saying: “My favorites are the sparkly one & the blue one… you look great in all of them!!”
