The perfect cover for your jelly belly

I reckon I’ve found the perfect top to cover my jelly bits.

And it’s more effective than the jelly coverage provided by this umbrella at Yum Cha over the weekend.

 

Ooooh jelly. So much nicer IN my belly than AS my belly.

 

On screen, it doesn’t look like much.

Witchery Cocoon Top $69.95

But put this baby on, and you’ll know why I’m petitioning Witchery to change the name of this top to The Perfect Mummy Top.

Why so perfect?

  • If you are pregnant, a top like this in a larger size and a stretch fabric will take you through the whole 9 months.
  • Breastfeeding? This style of top is easy to pull up to nurse and great teamed with a nursing singlet in the same colour.
  • In camouflage-mode over your ‘mummy tummy‘, like me and 53% of mothers? It’ll accentuate your collarbone, and skim lightly over your jelly belly.

It’s a oversized cut that falls to the top of your thighs at the front, and far enough past your bottom to provide good coverage. Yet it is balanced by a soft V neckline, and fitted 3/4 length sleeves. It’s mostly viscose so feels soft, with 4%Elastane for stretch. And did I mention you don’t need to iron it?

 

On, it looks kinda like this:

And it’s amazingly versatile.

I wore it last week during the day to Rosemount Australian Fashion Week, and this week at night to the Top 50 Bloggers Cocktail party. I’m obsessed by its divine mix of style and comfort, how easy it is to dress up or down, and how seamlessly it has integrated into my wardrobe.

Click here to buy it online, but be fast as these are selling quickly.

FYI this isn’t a sponsored post, and I paid full price for the top.

Just want to share such a great buy with my fellow foxes.

Kinda like shopping karma.

 

Have you ever found a ‘Perfect Mummy Top’? Then c’mon, share…

      Tracey, it also comes in a beige colour. I phoned Head Office and they said they still had stock in stores, so if your local one doesn’t have one, get them to phone around. Hope you like it too. @twitter-98309386:disqus

    Hey, my friend Pene just asked me what I wore this top with, so I thought I’d answer here in case anyone else is interested.
    At the same time as I bought the top, I purchased a “Leather Ponte Pant” from Witchery which is like a tight, thick legging, that in this case had some fancy leather panels down the sides. The best thing about these is that they are rather high waisted, and as they are so thick and fitted (I went down a size to make sure).
    They act like full length SPANX.
    Maybe I should do another post on The Perfect Mummy Pant?
    I teamed these with low leather ankle boots for day (a pic on my article about Fashion Week) and high heeled booties for night.
    Also, I bought a couple of tops similar to this Witchery top from Dotti when I was pregnant with my first boy. These tops took me through both pregnancies, were perfect breastfeeding tops, and now…I wear them as sleepwear. I teamed them with black fitted maternity pants, with knee high boots over the top.
    Hope that helps. A

    God bless the tight thick legging. Mine are from Target, with a bit of a seam down the front (pretending to be jodhpurs). The elastic waist is nice around tummies that are getting ready for winter. Off to look for jumpers now, thanks for more inspiration. Al
