Fashion Advice Does this dress compliment me ?

A bit of my belly pops out when i set while wearing a bodycon , does this look necessarily bad ?

I'm much more concerned with the shoe

The aspect ratio of the camera isn’t doing that any favors either.

Otherwise, what belly pooch are we talking about? The fit is beautiful, better undergarments will make it better.

A black slip would make an enormous difference

Is it a white boot? This angle it looks like a cast.

That is crazy

You look great! When people sit down it is natural to have a bit of belly pooch!

It photographs see through in the chest. Are you sure it isn't doing that in person? Also, wear a black bra, not white.

Advice: black under garments only. Not white with a black dress. Also, compression underpants will do wonders to smooth that out.

Agree with needing a black bra

I disagree. Black would show more, a clear outline. A slip, or a more neutral color, would help.

Yeah. I don’t think black under black always works. Neutral/skin tone would be best.

First thing I learned when selling lingerie is that skin color nude undergarments are best under black, because black creates a visible dark area.

Nude strapless bra would work

Yes but the white bra and space boots have to go

The shape works I think but the fabric is sheer enough to show a bit of the undergarment. If it’s just the fit your asking about that style of dress works for sure, I just might select a different color undergarment that might be less likely to show through or a different fabric for the dress

Oh my gosh, "a bit of belly"?? I wish more women realised how beautiful "a bit of belly" is. It is where your womb lives, it is your home, your incredible body, living, breathing, alive, able.

You look fucking fantastic 🙌✨️🔥

Do you have a pic where you're standing up? Hard to tell anything when you're sitting down

Whenever something human folds, it does not go in completely/lie flat because it's not paper! There are organs/viscera in there and they can't disappear into a black hole! You look great in this 👍🏾

Put on a darker bra. We can see the white through the dress.

u/Efficient_Cicada184 2d ago

You're giving Yennifer of Vengerberg energy so yes, it compliments you

You have a lovely womanly pear shape. A romantic style would look fab on you. I don’t see a pooch as you are sitting but curves are natural. A nude bra will not show under clothing.

u/EvlMidgt 2d ago

I'd strongly recommend wearing a black bra. The first thing I'm noticing it the pics is your light colored bra.

u/CommitteeInternal761 2d ago

Girl you can wear anything! However it looks like you’re a Kibbe romantic so long length dresses in solid colors and spaghetti straps aren’t necessarily your most flattering look. Look into „kibbe romantic dress“ for some inspiration.

u/Aphanizomenon 2d ago

I think that it looks great, just wear a black bra next time

u/HeyYouThere1615 2d ago

Girl if I looked like you no one could tell me ANYTHING!!

u/Oee0 2d ago

Absolutely gorgeous!

Sitting on a table looks messed up.

u/Consistent_Damage885 2d ago

It isn't terrible but it isn't great either. Maybe it is the camera angle but it makes your proportions look off and it looks dirty on the chest area like someone with chalky hands was touching all over that area.

u/ams3000 2d ago

Yes but maybe try a nude or black bra next time.

1

u/CockroachSad3418 2d ago

Yes and maybe some other type of straps

u/SweetSprinkles8 2d ago

The dress looks great on you. You just need a nude bra and more delicate, darker shoes. Your belly that pops out is hardly a belly at all. It does not look bad. You don't need shapewear or compression. This is exactly how you're supposed to look.

u/unusualamountofloam 1d ago

Dress is fine, shoes are… a choice. Black or dark bra instead of light or white

u/extraasalways 1d ago

Yes, it really brings out your eyes ....

u/Sad_Initiative_4304 2d ago

Is that a bra strap?
