Hi lovely ladies, I hope you are doing well. I'd love for you to share below what your own tips and tricks are for hiding a tummy. What are your favourite techniques that you find work well? Lots of love to you all. Deirdre. XX
I'm always amazed that tipsters like yourself use pencil thin models when discussing overweight issues. These young girls don't have a tummy or anything else to hide.
...also so very happy to see you are not advising us to tuck or half tuck. So many influencers can't seem to understand that we all cannot do this. Thank you so much for this video!
@@Janeburns-mi9dh my friends and I were watching that they were laughing at her because she likes to be on the camera for herself you should be able to tell
@@Janeburns-mi9dh there are the programs like that without showing themselves they they selling models check around the and you'll be able to find them thank you take care of yourself
Finally, an expert who agrees that "tucking in" isn't always the best solution. You have offered some really good advice and we appreciate you doing so.
Yes! What a relief to hear sensible ways to de emphasize the big tummy. You are boldly brave to swim against the current of belts, tucking etc. Thank you so much!
I can't tell you how much I enjoyed these very useful tips on how to deal with problem areas. Plus you didn't discuss the horrible half tuck which has been talked to death.❤❤🎉
Thank you for some great tips. At 70 my tummy is an issue but I want to look up to date and would like to feel confident. Love your blue and white striped shirt!
Love your videos, Deirdre…so classy and stylish for those of us over 50. You always show realistic clothes that aren’t outrageously expensive and don’t involve 3-4” heels. Absolutely love your channel!
Thank you for this video. This is such good, practical advice. There are other TH-camrs who insist that everyone should always tuck in. I couldn't disagree with that more. Your suggestions are a lot more flattering and realistic.
my absolute favorite you tuber. No politics no opinionated rubbish just real help in making us make t he best of ourselves. And your friendly warm manner is a real plus. xx
The bigger the tummy, the more important it is for ‘our girls’ to be high! You’d be amazed how a good supporting bra can completely draw the eye up from the belly. Dark first layers can minimize, too, with a long colored top and a popped collar to finish. About shift dresses for summer - I love Tommy Bahama for comfortable high quality, upbeat prints, and beautiful colors - often with pockets!
Love your coastal granny blue and white. I just bought one myself and love it. I have the menopause middle for the first time. But I’m so happy with my life right now, couldn’t care less.
All good tips and I especially love the last one. My strategy has always been to gloss over the flabby bits with well-structured, well' fitting basics. So worth the investment in a good tailor. Then make sure the best bits are in tip top condition, such as great hair, pedicure, etc. Love your content and most of all your attitude, dear Deirdre. It is such a privilege to get older.
Good strategy. I have tried shapewear but I live in a hot climate and it makes me feel hot. It might be ok for an indoor event in the cooler months, but I find styles that help without it.
Hi Deidre I’m 65 and a first time viewer. I absolutely loved your video so full of useful tips and tricks and I loved the way you presented it. I’m looking forward to catching up on your previous videos. Thank you xx
Another great video, and really great practical tips. I’ve never tried a slightly longer top under a shorter jacket, but I will on date night this weekend.. thank you Deirdre 😊
Love this video. Funny enough, I have a large tummy and wear a lot of sheath dresses. As long as they aren't tight, they somehow manage to help make the belly appear more flat. I also wear a blazer over the sheath dress.
I agree with you also...a "tummy" is relative to only what we know. Especially someone whose weight fluctuates. Someone who has lost a good bit of weight may be ready to show off a slimmer body, and her circle of friends might see her that way too. Size or weight may affect different parts of the body. I have a large bust and a slim waist and when I gain weight it's usually in my hips. Some tips don't work for me when my "hourglass" shape is out of proportion. I can wear a half tuck because it flatters from the front. but covers from the back. I win!
Thank you. I’m glad I found you. I’m 53 and ever since my hysterectomy I put 20 pounds on right in my midsection. I’m dieting and have to kick up my workout. Thanks for sharing this. ❤
04/19/24. I do wear a belt sometimes with pants but having an over shirt or jacket cuts the picture of that horizontal line at my waist. That is the vertical opening, then the belt is the surprise element! A narrow belt is best for me. I am 5’2” tall and age 75 at end of April. I just purchased a sheath black dress and I am rectangular in shape. Not much waistline. This is for a summer wedding I am attending. Love the peplum tops and just purchased a ruch-style top this week. I am almost finished buying my summer clothing items except to update shoes and get 2 new handbags from Dooney and Bourke. I like the ‘dog leather leash’ in these satchel handbags to hook on keys. Great tips and I am enjoying your videos!
Loved how you voiced against the current trends. Trends of shirt tucking and belts section up my body making me look like a snowman or emphasize my belly as if I were pregnant. The greater choice is something that gives me a smooth line and curvy silhouette. I personally love things that taper in on my sides, have decorative stiching or ruching on the front, and flows longer in the back. 🙂
Fabulous ideas as always Deirdre! I love how you cater for all shapes and sizes. I am so excited to wear my new Spring purchases, all I need now is for the weather to improve ❤️ ☀️
Thank you Deirdre - great ideas with the shirt being the third layer. I have a bit of winter fat not wanting to leave yet so this idea will be very helpful.
This is such a refreshing channel Deirdre! I've been exploring some style channels recently as spring is in the air and I want to refresh my look (I'm 65). I'm still in pretty good shape, but I live in the countryside and it's mostly boots, jeans and jumpers. I have to do something about it! 😂 Thank you for your down to earth, enthusiastic approach. 🇬🇧💖 New subscriber here.
I’m 72 & thoroughly enjoyed this. It was my first video of yours I have watched & immediately subscribed. Can’t wait to see your previous & future ones. Thanks!
I have been looking for a video like this for awhile. First time watcher. I’m a rectangle shape and I’ve struggled with clothes for awhile. I’m 65 and I love to sew but this idea of tucking in a shirt just a little is such a big trend and is one that many stylists say I should b doing. It seems everyone has a different opinion how to style clothes for a rectangle shape. Also I love wrap skirts or a more A line skirt. What shirt do you wear? Should it b tucked or not. So confusing I want to b stylish but not old looking. Your dress options are spot on they look great on me. Thanks for any advice you can give me
This video so informative. I appreciate that you don't belabor every small detail, which is why often tune out of you tube videos. I am 60 this year, so I have a pretty good idea of what results I want. I love the photos of you demonstrating the different types of clothing as you are very much my body type. Thank you!
Very useful video, Deidre - always look forward to your wonderful content. You are such a stylish lady and I would love to hear your ideas and tips for petite dressing - maybe which clothing ranges to try, the best styles to choose, how to combine separates and perhaps how to choose the right shoes and accessories, jewellery etc., to enhance and not overwhelm we smaller ladies. Would be so grateful if you could consider something like this!
Hi, Margaret Bradley Hope you don't mind me answering, I love clothes from Roman Fashion Design ( be careful when logging on, The first time I tried, I got pictures of Roman Centurians , complete with helmets, sandals and swords 😂 ) They have beautiful clothes, well fitting and at great prices. I'm not Petite, at 5ft 5inches, but they've got a great, large Petite selection of all Clothing Pieces from blouses to coats, Everything you could want., in so many varied styles. I shop on line as I live outside the UK, but there are shops in UK too Delivery is quick and efficient. Hope this helps
That was brilliant, this my first time watching your video, can your tell me is it ok wearing a dress with elastic waist and the top slightly hanging over it, thanks Margaret Redmond 😮
You've made several good points. I would like to see links to actually buy your suggestions. As I have tried to find the same recommendations unsuccessfully. Thanks.
Hi Tracy. The links are all in the description below the video. If you are on a phone, just click the little arrow to the right under the video and that should bring it all up for you. XX
Tighter legs looks best on me as a 5'2" size 6 US gal. I love a good sleeve. My favorite sleeve is a bell sleeve! I have a little lower tummy so your videos have given me some ideas. Patterns- yes pleae! I mixed patterns all the time!
it's the 1st time I am watching a video of yours, you do look fabulous and I love the fact that you get up to the point without talking more than needed ! That's why I watched the whole video without forwarding or skipping parts due to boredom! You definitely got yourself a new subscriber beautiful lady! Have a nice summer, lots of kisses from Greece!
All great tips, however, it would be really awesome when you're showing examples of what to wear to have them on women who actually have a tummy! So many of these examples are modeled on thin, young women. There's no way they'll look like they do on them on us more "mature with tummy" women. :)
Great video Diedre very informative and classy. I've just reached 60 and I'm feeling a little lost clothing wise but seeing you looking so chic and classy really helps me I love all your looks here. I'm 5'8" but have no waist so this is a great help 👏👏👏
Deirdre another fabulous video. You show us how to to look classy without breaking the bank. I hope you and Scott have a blessed Easter. It’s Good Friday but Sunday is coming. Hallelujah Blessings Hugs Love Victoria ❤️❤️
Wonderful video and techniques for hiding the tummy. This is my first time seeing your videos and I'm really impressed that you show different body tops so we can all be included in your suggestions. I wear lots of slightly flowy tunic tops so I can be comfortable and I don't have to constantly pull my clothes down or fuss with them. They also look slimming on my body with a more fitted, not tight, pant. Thank you for your lovely video!
Hello from New Zealand, I am a 56yr old woman (the real thing lol) I have just started tonight watching these sorts of video's. I'm a pretty strong, not shy woman who looks very similar to you :) I have crazy, now white grey to darker at the back ringlet curly hair that I straighten generally, because to dry it makes it frizzy, not into that look. We look to have about the same body shape and size so you are perfect for me :) The funny thing, yours was the 3rd vid I watched after 2 that didn't resonate with me at all. I found myself laughing hysterically at certain points and it was so refreshing and enjoyable that I watched it twice. People have told me over the years "you scrub up well" hahaa I have always been modest and its like I have grown into beauty as time has gone on. Have never been a big makeup person except for a bit of lippy as my grandmother use to say :) Anyway, I have sub you, my very first ever "fashion" type channel. I love the way you deliver this content, no ads even better (i have an ad blocker anyway, IT was my thing) Off to see what else I can watch x
Cont. 2 : I also have a cream sweater with sparklies and sheer coming out of the bottom. And,a tan dress with spaghetti straps and a big huggy bear sweatshirt type covering and I bought a covering like that in what looks like tan fur, both with collar length zips. Also chocolate brown dress long with aqua flowers and tan stems and leaves , button up with colar, purple thin sweat suit, cool purple leggings and black silky sweats with white piping and silky black tee, blue jeans, tan khacky pants and silky grey tee. Grey stripped sweater dress, yellow tee to go with my orange coulottes with a message on it, a light peach peasant blouse and a up and down stepped wrap dress with muted pink, black and white stripes. My hair is black and I live in Yuma where is sunny during the day fall, winter.
Hi Deirdre, I think you’re just awesome! I am almost 66 years old and I always appreciate your styling tips especially the ones about hiding your tummy :-) if it’s some point and maybe you’ve already done it can you do a fall travel capsule for a two week trip to Europe?
✨New subscriber after seeing this video on “how to hide a tummy” and needing fashion advice to do just that. Recent hysterectomy and body changes have me embracing new style techniques. Thanks for sharing very practical and classic style advice 👍🏼 ✅My favorite technique for de-emphasizing a tummy is drapeing a 3rd layer such as a classic oversized button down or jacket over the shoulders 🦋
clothing manufacturers always make tops with "horizontal" lines for plus sizes. What is wrong with them? I have known this trick for decades. And large women still buy those tops?? Thank you - good info
Agreed. I live in France and despair of finding a top or blouse with vertical stripes, even in shops that cater for women my age (64). A marinière makes my bust look huge😬
I just came across your channel, good advice. I am 5’1’ and often have a hard time getting clothes to fit properly especially pants, also I have small shoulders and flare out in the hip area.
So many wonderful tips that will be easy to incorporate into my wardrobe! Thank you. I am a little confused by some of the examples using fabrics (like large floral prints) that in another video you say makes a woman look older than she is. Overall, love your videos!
Hello, I pray your health is continuing to do well. I found your channel only a month or so ago and love your ideas! I watch each episode and review my wardrobe looking for items that fit your helpful hints! I cant believe how many items I already have that will help me look MORE fabulous!😊 for those that I dont have it gives me a goal when shopping.❤ Thank you!
Good afternoon Deirdre! Love all the great tips! Thank you! Plus, I look forward to when you go on location in Greece! It’s a beautiful background for your videos! 💕
Hi lovely ladies, I hope you are doing well. I'd love for you to share below what your own tips and tricks are for hiding a tummy. What are your favourite techniques that you find work well? Lots of love to you all. Deirdre. XX
Tunic tops with tight leggings also work like a charm.
❤
Any top or dress that skims my body and is not too short
High rise jeans, leggings,panties it helps smooth the middle section.
@@lynnleipold2617😢😮😮😮😮😮😅😅
The tips itself make sense, showing examples of women who are already thin & under 50 does not.
I'm always amazed that tipsters like yourself use pencil thin models when discussing overweight issues. These young girls don't have a tummy or anything else to hide.
I came just to say the same thing
Some of the models look like they need a good meal
I didn't see a model that had a tummy to hide!
It would definitely be more realistic if models had the actual body builds being discussed. 😅
Please use models representing a problem with a tummy. Not cool to use pencil stick models. Is that ur way of being covertly sarcastic???
Great ideas but it would be nice to see all models that actually did have bulk near the tummy area.
I'm totally with you, Sheila. It's actually hard to find models that have tummies. I have tried to include as many as I could. XX
@@50FabulouswithMyFriendDeirdre thanks for trying.
...also so very happy to see you are not advising us to tuck or half tuck. So many influencers can't seem to understand that we all cannot do this. Thank you so much for this video!
XXX
Yes, I don't know if it's just me but tucking just gives me double big belly: above and below
😂😂😂😂
It’s as if - I have a fat belly, here it is, take a good luck. I’ve never done it as I can’t see how it can hide it.
Half tucks are the most idiotic thing ever to happen to fashion. And I lived through the 90’s.
Great ideas, but why not use models who actually have a belly?
No kidding, showing skinny models doesn't work here.
The style tip is so brilliant that these models are hiding their bellies........🙂
Because it's harder to make ppl look as good as they do w/o it - dammit!
@@Janeburns-mi9dh my friends and I were watching that they were laughing at her because she likes to be on the camera for herself you should be able to tell

Finally, an expert who agrees that "tucking in" isn't always the best solution. You have offered some really good advice and we appreciate you doing so.
Thank you so much xx
Great comments, and yes! Thank God someone who recognises that tuck or 1/2 tuck DO NOT work on everyone!
Finally! Someone who agrees that wrap tops are Not for everyone., I actually think they emphasize a large chest but they are always suggested.
Yes! What a relief to hear sensible ways to de emphasize the big tummy. You are boldly brave to swim against the current of belts, tucking etc. Thank you so much!
I appreciate the diverse body styles and the way you always bring it back to personal preference--i.e. don't do this unless you love it.
I can't tell you how much I enjoyed these very useful tips on how to deal with problem areas. Plus you didn't discuss the horrible half tuck which has been talked to death.❤❤🎉
Thank you for some great tips. At 70 my tummy is an issue but I want to look up to date and would like to feel confident. Love your blue and white striped shirt!
That's brilliant, Marilyn. XX
Thank you ! You said do not tuck. I tried a half tuck as suggested elsewhere and it made me look heavier!
Love your videos, Deirdre…so classy and stylish for those of us over 50. You always show realistic clothes that aren’t outrageously expensive and don’t involve 3-4” heels. Absolutely love your channel!
Thank you so much, Rosemary. Lots of love. XX

Cont. 2 : I also have a cream sweater with sparklies and sheer coming out of the bottom. And,a tan dress with spaghetti straps and a big huggy bear sweatshirt type covering and I bought a covering like that in what looks like tan fur, both with collar length zips. Also chocolate brown dress long with aqua flowers and tan stems and leaves , button up with colar, purple thin sweat suit, cool purple leggings and black silky sweats with white piping and silky black tee, blue jeans, tan khacky pants and silky grey tee. Grey stripped sweater dress, yellow tee to go with my orange coulottes with a message on it, a light peach peasant blouse and a up and down stepped wrap dress with muted pink, black and white stripes. My hair is black and I live in Yuma where is sunny during the day fall, winter.
Just found you, love you , want your closet. Just turned 60 and gained 35 pounds in 9 months ugh! Thank you! Thank you!
Thank you for all the tips. Your blouse very crisp & becoming.
Great tips Deirdre, love your blue stripe shirt....you look amazing.xx
Hi Deirdre, I think you’re just awesome! I am almost 66 years old and I always appreciate your styling tips especially the ones about hiding your tummy :-) if it’s some point and maybe you’ve already done it can you do a fall travel capsule for a two week trip to Europe?
Thank you so much, Lady Bahamas xx
✨New subscriber after seeing this video on “how to hide a tummy” and needing fashion advice to do just that. Recent hysterectomy and body changes have me embracing new style techniques. Thanks for sharing very practical and classic style advice 👍🏼
✅My favorite technique for de-emphasizing a tummy is drapeing a 3rd layer such as a classic oversized button down or jacket over the shoulders 🦋
Welcome to my channel and thank you so much for subscribing. Xx
Love your tips. I'll save the video for Spring.... we're moving into winter in my corner of the world. Beso from Argentina ❤
Hooray for 50+ ❤ Trendy Beautiful and stylish ❤
in another of your videos I just viewed you asked the ladies to get rid of big floral patterns and here you've got big floral patterns!! ha-ha
clothing manufacturers always make tops with "horizontal" lines for plus sizes. What is wrong with them? I have known this trick for decades. And large women still buy those tops?? Thank you - good info
Agreed. I live in France and despair of finding a top or blouse with vertical stripes, even in shops that cater for women my age (64). A marinière makes my bust look huge😬
I loved your yellow and black long kimono cover up on you!
You are an inspiration! We all need to be reminded and taught. Thanks.
I really appreciate that! Thank you so much. XX
Thank you, really loved your quidelines. Learnt a few good tips.
Glad it was helpful! XX
I just came across your channel, good advice. I am 5’1’ and often have a hard time getting clothes to fit properly especially pants, also I have small shoulders and flare out in the hip area.
One important style I feel you missed is the Nehru tunic cut - as jacket, vest-length or even coat. The style is an absolute winner and disguise 😊
Hi there. Yes, I agree, that’s a good style but this video was more focusing on lighter garments for spring and summer. Xx
So many wonderful tips that will be easy to incorporate into my wardrobe! Thank you. I am a little confused by some of the examples using fabrics (like large floral prints) that in another video you say makes a woman look older than she is. Overall, love your videos!
I need it that!! Great tips to follow asap!! Thank you !!!
I love the shirt you are wearing. Where did you get it?
Thank you. That is my trouble area for sure!
Loved this video. Where did u get the fabulous blue and white shirt??
Hello, I pray your health is continuing to do well. I found your channel only a month or so ago and love your ideas! I watch each episode and review my wardrobe looking for items that fit your helpful hints! I cant believe how many items I already have that will help me look MORE fabulous!😊 for those that I dont have it gives me a goal when shopping.❤ Thank you!
Hi S Kimsey. Thank you for your lovely comments. XX
