How to hide the Mom Muffin
Categories: Just For Moms, Mommy Musts

Ah, the muffin top -- long after the baby is no longer a baby, many of us are still walking around with a little reminder of our pregnancies, rolling over the top of our jeans. Short of a tummy tuck, what's a mom to do?
Skip the surgery -- if you choose the right clothes, your roll will virtually vanish. Look for mid-rise, high-waist jeans and trousers; don't buy anything that doesn't fit perfectly through the waist. If you also have a hard time fitting your hips and thighs, opt for pants that fit whichever part of you is the biggest, and have the rest tailored -- you'll be glad you did.
Look for tops that float away from your midsection, and for necklines that draw attention to your face. Look also for structured pieces, rather than floppy or clingy fabrics.
We've found five examples of pieces that will take the muffin out of mom -- each is a perfect illustration of the shapes you want to look for as you shop.

I'm not too sure of those tips...and as far as the examples go...they should find people who actually have those issues, rather than showing thin models as examples.
