Empire Ease

Set up: Bed edge beside a window; soft indirect daylight or sheers closed.

Wardrobe: An empire-waist babydoll chemise — gathered under the bust so it lifts there and floats away from the waist and tummy. The strongest low-effort at-home tummy-concealer.

Camera: Phone on a tripod at seated chest height, portrait; expose for the window-lit side of the face.

Pose: Sit on the bed edge, angle the knees together and away from the lens, and let one hand gather the hem so the fabric floats rather than clings. Soften the shoulders and give an easy smile. Fuller frame: this is a genuine plus-size hero — let the empire seam sit just under the bust and keep the fabric skimming, never gripping, the waist.
