If your tummy is your main problem area then you need to make it recede by visually shifting your proportions, and understanding your best fit, most flattering fabrics and colours.
One of your wardrobe staples should be a dress. A dress works better than separates because the eye flows along the body, rather than stopping midway at your key problem area. Some dress fabrics will still require shapewear to be worn underneath - see some suggestions in an earlier post - or choose a dress in a heavier fabric which will basically hold you in. Check out the Pretty Dress Company for their amazing tummy shrinking dresses! I particularly love this one that creates the illusion of a very narrow waist, and draws the eye outwards & upwards.
Your perfect dress should show off your best features; so if you have great legs then wear a knee length dress to show them off, if you have a great bust then wear a v-neck or sweetheart neck to show off your assets, slender wrists will look great in three quarter length sleeves, you get the picture, show off everything but your voluptuous tummy. Accessorise with an amazing necklace and shoes so the attention will be on everything but your tummy!
The dress below is a great example of how draping can cover a problem area without highlighting it, that if you still have a waist you need to show it off, and how you don't always have to wear black to look slimmer.
If you feel your waist isn't well enough defined for these styles then choose less structured shapes, such as this patterned dress, in a fabric that skims the body rather than clings to it.
