‘Flattering and lightweight’ Holly Hagan says about £14 LBD that’s perfect for hiding a tummy and cool for warmer days
GEORDIE Shore alumnus Holly Hagan heaped on the praise for a little black dress that she recommended for every new mum.
The reality star posed in the “flattering” style, which she said hid her tummy perfectly.
In her vial video, Holly (@hollyhaganx) modeled the look for her followers.
The Textured Backless Ruched Tank Dress is available for £13.49 from Yozy.
“This is a magic post-partum dress,” the TV personality said as she showed off the look.
She untied the wrap detail to show her audience the design of the dress.
“So let’s say you’ve just had a baby or you’re just a little bit conscious of [your stomach], all you have to do is wrap this around,” she explained.
Holly encouraged all her followers to invest in the “flattering” and budget-friendly dress.
“Look up the reviews as well because honestly, it is so flattering on every body type,” she said.
Holly moved closer to the camera to give her viewers a closer look at the “really nice patterned effect.”
She described the wrap feature as giving an “extra layer of protection.”
“Where was this last year when I needed it and I just wanted to feel a little bit confident and instead I was wearing joggers and baggy trousers in 25 degree heat?” asked Holly, who gave birth in June 2023.
“If you’re looking for a super lightweight dress that is comfortable and gives you that extra bit of coverage [at your tummy], this one is perfect.
“It’s so flattering and lightweight.”
Her fans shared their thoughts on the look in the comments section of her video.
“I actually love this dress, makes me actually feel OK with my body after having a baby, [I] got a couple of colours now!!” wrote one shopper.
“I have this dress and I’m pregnant. It is so comfy, so nice to wear!!!” said another viewer.
What’s the best style that suits everyone?
ACCORDING to the fashion pros at Fabulous, there's a new style of dress that suits all body shapes.
Low-slung, dropped-waist silhouette styles have surged, thanks to the Noughties fashion trend that has swept the catwalks, social media and, of course, the high street.
First seen on the runways of luxury labels Molly Goddard and Jil Sander, the style typically cinches around the hip and pelvic area rather than the waist.
Now a plethora of more affordable options of the dress that suits a number of body shapes have dropped just as the sun starts to come out.
Clemmie Fieldsend, Fashion Editor, said: “There’s something so stylish about these dresses, and I love them.
“The simplicity of the top half teamed with the full skirt is like a sleeker and more grown-up tutu.
“I have a short torso so the dropped waist makes my body look longer, but, thankfully, the long skirt means your legs don’t look shorter.
“Plus it means I can tap into the low-waist trend without baring all in a pair of low-slung jeans.
“I know I’ll be living in mine all summer, paired with black sandals and sunnies, but for now all I need is a blazer slipped over the top and a closed-toe shoe and I’m ready to go.”
Meanwhile, Fashion Director, Tracey Lea Sayer, added: “I remember dropped-waist dresses from the 80s. I loved them then and I still love them again now!
“Forty years on from when they were first popular and I am not so sure they will be quite as flattering around my middle, because two kids and middle-aged spread later, my waist doesn’t exist any more.
“With a dress like this I can disguise my middle bit and still feel on trend for summer.”
“I LOVE this dress! It covers my mum tum, which makes me so happy! You look stunning,” commented a third person.
“I trusted you on this dress…and…it is actually amazing! Mine arrived today and I’ve ordered a second colour already!” wrote another follower.
“I have this in two colours, [I] was super impressed,” said one TikTok user.
“This dress is beautiful. I have it in blue and [I’m] just about to get all the other colours. Hides the menopause tummy,” shared another viewer.
“I’ve got this dress and it looks amazing on, I’ve never felt so comfortable in my own skin,” wrote one woman.
