Used to be, when I bought a blouse, it had to cover my stomach and bum. I guess that I somehow felt that it was slimming. However, I can see in pictures that those blouses actually made me look bigger in some ways. Those years ago, part of me, the less evolved part, also felt that I was sparing people from having to see what they might find repulsive, and also maybe cutting down on the chance of possible negative comments.
After that, when I had gained a better self-perception, I still continued wearing the big shirts and the like simply because I was used to it.
These days -- days where I get many more smiles than negative comments, I do keep my stomach covered in the sense that I don't expose skin, but I don't feel like my blouse has to be long enough to hide my lower attributes, front and back. I look at it like the comedienne Thea Vidale does "honey, I weigh 300 pounds, I'm gonna look fat!" and I'm fine with that. So, most of my blouses generally hit midway between my waist and the bottom of my belly, and generally, they 'hide' nothing of my bum. And you know, since dressing this way I feel better about myself -- way better -- than when I was covering up.
