Samantha says “It is actually quite a tight fitting top but when you look at it. I am not looking at my lower tummy. It’s really clever the way it does it.”
Next Samantha tries a soft cotton cheetah printed dress.
The dress cinches in just below the under the bust with loose arms.
“It floats over your body really nicely but still stays flowy where your tummy is. I absolutely love it.”
If you get a two piece with a very bold pattern, you can tie a belt around your waist to give the illusion of a figure.
The bold pattern like the one Samantha has draws the attention away from your tummy.
You want to go for a similar thing when choosing a dress.

The dress is cinched at the upper waist just below the bust and has the space to flow down to the legs.
