I used to be really, really thin, and when I started gaining weight about 10 years ago I got depressed too, and I started wearing tent dresses. It took a while, but I finally learned to like myself just the way I am, and now I'm still overweight but I don't mind.
Anyway, mid-rise jeans look good on women with a bigger stomach. I wear T-shirts that are one size too big and have some spandex in them, and they hug my body perfectly. Jackets that are gathered at the waistline are flattering. Make sure all your tops fall just above your hip or at your hip.
Wear lots of necklaces to keep peoples' eyes drawn towards your face. Earrings will do the same thing. Wear shoes with a little heel so you feel taller and graceful. Carry a medium or large size handbag. A little one will make you look big. No matter what I do everyday, I make sure I like my hair because people always notice that. I like to wear jean skirts with knee-high boots. This look is slimming and very chic.
Don't wear anything baggy. You'll look and feel awful. Some days, no matter what you do, you will feel fat. On those days I give up and either wear a girdle (Hanes makes a comfortable one for about $13.00), or I wear a tunic top. Always have a tunic in your closet for fat days. Mine has gold embroidery along the neckline, and it's really pretty. Remember that if you keep your jewelry at your neck and ears people will be drawn to look at that part of your body.
Try not to feel bad about your weight. You probably look a lot better than you think you do, and aren't your kids worth a few extra pounds? What you see in Hollywood is fake. The boobs are fake, the hair is fake, the bodies have been surgically altered, and it's just not real life.
Real women have babies and get kind of lumpy and droopy, but we're proud of it because being a mom is the most important thing in the world. Besides, we don't have to buy into the belief that only thin women are worthy of love and attention.
Cheer up, and do a little shopping. Good luck!

First you have to observe your body to find out what types of clothes look good on you. For example do you have long legs and a short waist. Or a long torso with long legs or are you petite. Also where is most of you weight gained. Is it a problem area find out different patterns and designs that can help. I often find helpful information in Wooman's World. Also make sure your clothes give off a smooth silioutte, not too tight or too loose.
