Here’s Mama’s guide to choosing the best Tee for your body:

Round – Bigger bust and tummy? Girl you gotta get a classic cut! This is going to give you the most relaxed and importantly flattering look. Triangle – All the pear shaped mama’s out there with wider hips and a shapely bottom (#yasss), with a defined waist, slim arms and shoulders, your best fit will be a slim cut t-shirt to emphasise your gorgeous waist. Rectangle – If your body shape is fairly straight with weight evenly distributed, slim or classic cuts are your glorious go to. Hourglass – Even hip and bust measurements with a narrower waist your thing? You definitely need a slim or classic cut to accentuate all the good bits you got! Inverted Triangle – Hey Apple shaped mamas! Your broader shoulders and full bust with narrower hips will shine in a straighter cut Tee that’ll give you a more even, sleek look. #winning
