Ladies…we all know how tough it could be to hide belly bloat. The average woman gains between four to six pounds during their period. Of course, this is all water weight and after your period is over it usually all goes away. But it’s always annoying to want to rock a certain dress or top for a special occasion and that retched bloating rains on your parade. As someone who tends to have this issue from time to time, I have learned what styles are the most flattering. I wanted to share some tips and tricks on how to camouflage a little belly bloat by choosing specific fashion choices.
- Wrap Dresses/Skirts
Wrap Skirts and Dresses are perfect for concealing a tummy. What makes wrap skirts and dresses so perfect is that one layer in the front that hugs you and the second layer provides mobility in the skirt that distracts from any type of belly situation you may be insecure about.

2. Peplum Tops and Dresses
When you are bloating the last thing you want to wear is a tight-fitting top. A tight-fitting top will basically put a bullseye right on the area you are trying to conceal. A flowy peplum top is the perfect solution!

3. High Waisted Jeans
High Waisted jeans are perfect for sucking everything in for a smooth silhouette. One tip is to always go for a darker denim wash in order to camouflage any tummy bloat.

4. Ruching Detail
Clever ruching always does a great job with hiding a tummy. Whether it’s side ruching or ruching detail right over the midsection it always does the job! The brand Astr The Label always have great dress options with excellent ruching detail.
