You don’t have to settle for the loose black tunic for the third time this week to hide your tummy.

After 4.5 years in business, I’ve seen so many women get stuck in the cycle of buying a size up just so the fabric won’t touch their skin.

Here is what I look for instead.

An elasticated waistband.
It gives you the comfort you’re craving when you’re sitting down at the pub, but it keeps the shape of the garment so you don’t look like you’re wearing a tent.

A cotton top that can be nipped in at the waist.
Instead of drowning in fabric, use a soft cotton that lets you create a slight tuck. It draws the eye to your waist rather than focusing on the tummy area.

Natural fabrics.
Cotton and quality blends move with you, so you aren’t constantly hopping and tugging to get things sitting right.

It’s about dressing the woman you are right now, not the one you think you have to hide.

I am not going to apologise for choosing comfort over everything else.

I have spent years building this business from nothing, and if there is one thing I have learnt about us midlife women, it is that we are done with being uncomfortable.

I want the whole look. I am talking barrel leg or wide leg trousers that give my thighs some breathing room and a simple pair of trainers for getting things done.

I add a simple top but use the French tuck at the side to elevate the look. It is classy, very wearable, and it means I can sit through a long lunch without secretly unbuttoning my waist under the table.

I used to think being stylish meant being restricted, but now I know better.

It is about dressing for the body you have right now, not the one you had ten years ago.

When we stop fighting the fabric, we start feeling like ourselves again.

Watch til the end! For my ladies who love the leg kick! Xx

After four and a half years of styling women and building this business from my kitchen table, I have learnt that speed doesn’t have to mean settling for that loose black tunic again.

First, I would grab my barrel leg trousers. They have an elasticated waist which is a total lifesaver when you are feeling a bit bloated or just don’t want anything digging into your middle while you are out.

The shape is clever because it gives you room around the thighs but tapers in, so you look put together rather than just covered up. They work whether you are tall or on the shorter side too.

I would pair them with a cotton top with short or 3/4 sleeves. It is the easiest way to cover the tops of your arms without feeling like you are overheating. The fabric stays crisp and doesn’t cling to your tummy when you sit down for a coffee or a glass of wine.

Pop on your favourite trainers, a bit of lippy, and you are out the door looking like you actually tried.

After 4.5 years of building this business from nothing, I have spent a lot of time listening to women who feel like they are hiding behind their clothes instead of wearing them.

1. Use a simple side tuck to draw the eye away from the tummy area. Instead of pulling your top straight down, tuck a small section into your waistband at the side. It creates a diagonal line that breaks up the widest part of your middle.

2. Look for floaty sleeves to hide midlife tops of arms. A little movement in the fabric means it won’t cling.

3. Pick wide leg trousers to hide tops of thighs. They skim the leg and create a straight silhouette from the hip down, which stops that hopping and tugging struggle we all do with skinny jeans.

It is never that your body has failed, you just needed the right cut for the woman you are today.

It hits home because I spent years holding onto things that haven’t fitted since the late nineties. We keep those old jeans as a stick to beat ourselves with, like a bit of denim could somehow prove we are still the same women we were twenty years ago.

After four and a half years of running this boutique, I have realised that most of us are just dressing a ghost. We keep the smaller sizes at the back of the drawer, but catching your side profile in the full length mirror by mistake after a shower shouldn’t feel like a betrayal.

I value the woman you are today, the one who has survived the teenagers and the career shifts and the way her waist has decided to migrate north.

You don’t need to shrink yourself to fit a memory. You deserve fabrics that skim your middle and clothes that let you sit down at the pub without having to perform a tactical adjustment of your jumper. If you are tired of feeling like a stranger in your own skin, you are in the right place

As a midlife woman It is about finding fabrics that drape over your tummy without clinging, and sleeves that finish at the perfect point so you can actually enjoy your glass of wine without frantically hunting for a long sleeve cardigan.

You can be stylish and comfortable without feeling like a stranger in your own skin. It is possible to dress the body you have right now and still feel like the woman you have always been.

Since I started this business from scratch 4.5 years ago, I have seen every wardrobe dilemma under the sun and I am going to be blunt about two of them.

First up, tight leggings aren’t trousers. I know they are comfy when you are putting the bins out or lounging on the sofa with a biscuit, but when you head out to meet a friend for coffee, they often end up showing way more than you intended.

Then there is the tent issue. We have all been there, grabbing the biggest, most oversized tops we can find because we want to hide a tummy or our arms. But the reality is that oversized tops look like tents. They don’t hide the areas you are worried about, they actually make you look twice the size you are because they drown your shape entirely.

You do not need to hide under a gazebo to feel good. Finding a fabric that skims rather than clings is the secret to not feeling like a stranger when you catch your reflection in the chemist window.

after four and a half years of sourcing clothes for women like us, I now know the styles that suit midlife women.

Most shops design for a mannequin with no soft areas, then just scale the pattern up. It does not work for a body that has lived.

You do not need more fabric everywhere. You need a cut that understands where a woman actually carries her weight.

I look for styles that skim the parts we hate and celebrate the parts we love, because life is too short to feel like a stranger in your own skin.

In the 4.5 years since I started this business from absolutely nothing, I have seen hundreds of women blame their own bodies for a bad outfit day.

You think your tummy is too big or your arms are the issue, so you buy a size up just to make sure the fabric won’t touch you.

But here is the shift. It isn’t about hiding. When I source pieces for my boutique, I favour the Made in Italy brand - the cut and the fabric are perfect for the midlife woman’s body - floaty one size pieces than can be contoured to fit all body shapes and sizes.

One of my regulars, RC, told me she finally felt stylish again because the quality actually held its shape instead of clinging to every curve she was trying to mask. When the clothes do the work, you can finally stop apologising for existing in a midlife body. I would much rather you be comfortable without tugging at your middle.
