@PrincessBaby: Ok I was going to be seriously impressed if she looked that good naturally after that many kids!
I would maybe expose mine for Halloween

I don't think so. I have extra skin post baby #2, so when that goes away (assuming it does) I could maybe *think* about something as pictured above by @rainbow sprinkles: but I don't think I can really pull it off, even if my middle looks ok.. I just think I'd be a little too self conscious and it would show!

Nope, not even when I was happier with tummy. I don't think it looks good not is age appropriate.

I used too when I had a great body now I've got a mom bod and I feel like with large boobs a midriff makes it look like they are saggy. I tried with a high waisted skirt with only 1 inch showing and couldn't do it

Nope. Wouldn't have even when I was slim and toned enough to pull it off. Not my style.

I'm okay with how my abs look (even after having a baby!) but I'm as pale as a ghost. I'm pretty sure it would look like I'm exposing a white cami, not my midriff

@Rainbow Sprinkles: that tutu pic is really cute. That woman- mom or not- is way more stylish than me. She can pull that off. Not me. Lol

I lived in crop tops in college but as a 32 year old woman, my style sense has evolved.

For me it's a big old no. I've never been that comfortable with my body. But I'm surprised at how many people said no. It was for a holiday party I believe, and I"m sure in her circle this is pretty typical.

No, I think it's uncomfortable and I'd constantly want to be pulling my shirt down or my pants up!

While I definitely do not have the body to pull such a look off, I also don't run in circles where that kind of outfit would ever be appropriate - and definitely not to a holiday party. So to me, that is more the issue than whether or not I have the body to pull it off.

I have worn two dresses with side cut outs, so yes, under the right circumstances.

@pwnstar: hmmm to me side cut outs aren't the same. I wore a dress with side cutouts to a wedding last summer but it didn't have that whole "my entire stomach is on display" feel.

@Meowkers: Depends on the cut outs and where they hit your body! Regardless, if it was situationally appropriate, I wouldn't hesitate.

As someone who has seen @pwnstar: in the side cut out dress and can confirm that she rocked the hell out of it I really don't think age or mom status has much to do with anything. If you're confident/comfortable and have the body the body to pull off the look, I say go for it! If things bounce back for me after having just had #2 I would rock a crop top with high waisted bottoms.

If I had the body, I probably would have in my 20's and early 30's. But a tight stomach was just never in the cards for me! I do have other body parts that I like and am happy to 'highlight' with my choice of attire.
