I’m a size 16 and found the perfect top for summer in Shein – it hides the mum tum and is so flattering
A MUM-OF-12 has hailed Shein for its sizing and picked up the dream top which hides her mum tum.
Zoe Sullivan loves sharing clothing hauls for her bumper with followers online but rarely buys anything new for herself.
In a recent clip, the 43-year-old said she finally had a “bit of a splurge” on pieces for herself.
She said: “I don’t often buy things for me. Mainly because I don’t like shopping for myself. I love shopping for the kids.
“Body image has always been a little bit of an issue, but I’m getting better.
“Having lots of children and getting older has changed my body shape.
“It’s difficult to accept, but this last year I’m like this is the size I am and I’m going to buy clothes that I like in the proper size rather than squeeze into a size that’s too small and not wearing it because it doesn’t look right.
“I buy quite a lot of stuff from Shein now and I’m generally the same size. So I’m a 16 or a 0XL. Their curve range starts from a 16.”
On her vlog Zoe, from Lossiemouth, Moray, revealed she bagged a pair of joggers, a v-neck top, some paisley print trousers and a pair of jeans in her haul.
But her favourite buys was an £8.99 drawstring side cami top which she loved so much that she picked up in black and navy.
Modelling the top, Zoe gushed: “I really like these tops, they’re really comfy.
“They’re not too tight around this bit [tummy] which is probably one of my most conscious areas from having lots of children and not doing much exercise.
“I used to run when I had time. But I don’t run now because I don’t want to any more, I’m too tired.
“There are areas that I’m more conscious of that I am accepting, but…I like these, these are nice.”
Her try on clip has racked up more than 10,000 views, with social media users loving her picks.
One said: “Zoe you look fantastic! I’m so glad you’ve actually treated yourself for once! Very well deserved.”
A second wrote: “Thanks for the try on Zoe, you looked amazing.”
Meanwhile, a third added: “I’m loving your style Zoe, you’ve had 12 kids and look fabulous.”
