Tunic Dress

The perfect silhouette for the biggest cheat day of the year. The tunic dress's loose, drapey shape keeps you covered as you cover your turkey in gravy and cranberry sauce.

Statement Poncho

Are you smuggling pies under there? Get on with your bad self! Whether you’re partial to apple, pumpkin, or pecan, the poncho and its cousin the oversized sweater are always a la mode. Pair yours with some stretchy leggings or a track pant.

Pretty Peplum

Reach for an eye-catching peplum top. The beauty lies in the fact it provides optimal belly coverage while adding some distracting flair to the bloated area.

Off-Season Caftan

Sail into your autumnal celebration in billowing silk. The caftan's ventilation is essential for when those meat sweats hit.

Smart Cape

Everyone loves a cape moment: high drama, high fashion. Channel your inner Gwyneth Paltrow and slip a stomach-shrouding cape over your shoulders. It may be an unexpected choice but it's always chic.
