Trudy Lynn Linton on Instagram: "What to avoid when concerned about cropped tops & tummy control:
💫 avoid low waisted bottoms! Higher waisted shorts, pants or skirts create a non-cropped look without having to tuck your top in!
💫 choose tops that are elastic on the bottom that have bunched look and are not flat/straight across, this also takes away from direct view of your midriff
💫 avoid getting dropped tops that are shortly, similar to the size of a sports bra. Get tops that are “cropped” but on the longer side
💫 opt for loose cropped tops vs tighter, which takes away from directly seeing your midriff as much, although this really depends on the specific top.

Loving this top with the ruffled should look and the loose linen fabric! I have paired it with high waisted linen shorts and Rattan Bag, Crop Top And Shorts, Cropped Tops, Shorts Pants, Low Waisted, Linen Shorts, Affordable Fashion, Summer Time, Linen Fabric

*How to apply stretch factor to pattern***ONLINE CLOTHES MAKING COURSES on Instagram: "Stretch factor is required when you want to make a tighter fit. You don’t have to make tight tops with jerseys: you can absolutely ignore it and work with stretchy fabric the same way you do with the woven one. This is only a matter of fit & personal preferences. YOU are in charge of what YOU design for YOU to wear 🩷 

I personally only use it when making tighter tank tops or underwear, something that I want to be very close to the skin &/or offer support. But I when it comes to t-shirts or jumpers,

Fran Bacon on Instagram: "I struggle with tight tops but here are the ways I style them to ensure they work proportion wise and are flattering on (I am sure you already know this!) 
🍂 I wear a T shirt bra for a smooth line and some support under the top (my faves are from good old M&S)
🍂 a pair of high waisted dark jeans (black or dark blue) avoids a muffin top keeps my tummy contained giving a more flattering silhouette. I like a black tighter top with black jeans even more …super sleek!
🍂 I tend to add a block heel shoe or boot to make my legs look longer again it balances out my proportions in a good way.
🍂 when going for a lower rise jean I size up, I tend to try on a few sizes ignoring the label and just seeing what size looks better (easier to do in store than online annoyingly!)

👉What is rib flare?

When the ribs are stuck in the up or out position. 

Very common in postpartum and one of the main reasons your tops or bras are fitting tighter around your ribs/back! 

Since it’s pulling your abdominal muscles into a stretched position, this could also be why your diastasis recti/ab separation isn’t healing…despite all the core exercises🤷‍♀️

👉Can you fix it?

YES, here are 3 things to start with…It’s not a quick fix, but you can still address it with time and consistency.

1. Posture & breathing:
Ribs stacked over hips, without gripping your ribs or tucking your hips…it may take a few adjustments to find that tall spine 🙌 the next one will feel really good for my fellow rib Rib Flare, Stronger Core, Leg Extension, Ribbed Flares, Myofascial Release, Overhead Press, Side Plank, Feel Stuck, Diastasis Recti
