I’m 5’5” and 163 lbs – a $29 dress shows off my girls and curves, the ribbing is extra flattering on my C-section pouch
FINDING a dress you’re comfortable in and that flatters your postpartum is not the easiest task.
One mom shared her latest fashion find, which she said was “forgiving” on her C-section pouch.
In her video, Alli (@allithatglitters) revealed that she weighs 163 pounds while standing at 5-foot-5.
The TikToker tried on a $29 Hollow Knitted Dress in a light pink color and a size medium.
Available from Aha Selected, the look comes with a matching cropped top to create a hollow-out feature at the neckline.
“Let me start off by saying I got this in the mail and I thought this was a shirt,” Alli said as she held up the layered sleeves.
She tried on the dress by itself before adding on the cropped top for the finished look.
“This is what it looks like when the top is on, it is very cute, very flattering, definitely shows off your curves, definitely shows off the girls for me,” she explained.
Alli also pointed out the benefit of the ribbed material on the bodycon dress.
“I love how the back is open, the ribbedness in this fabric makes it very forgiving,” she told her viewers.
“I’ve had a C-section, and I have a little bit of extra skin here, I’m not wearing shapewear so it is not cute but this is definitely forgiving.”
“I love how tight it is through here, you don’t have that weird baggy gap that makes you look like you’re wearing a bag,” Alli added as she turned to the side to show off the dress.
She explained that the fabric of the dress meant it could be worn throughout the year.
“I love a versatile dress, this could be worn in the winter and in the summer so it’s something you don’t have to take out of your closet,” she said.
“Less than $30 and can be worn multiple seasons? Adds to cart,” Alli captioned her try-on video.
TikTok users took to the comments section to share their thoughts on the look.
“The body is bodying,” wrote one impressed follower.
“It looks very cute on you,” said another viewer.
