Hi Maried, I think that's a very nice dress. It will do the job for concealing the appliance. Very good choice. Regards, S.I.L.

Great site..I have had an colostomy over 30 years..and have been thru skin rash around my stoma,hernias(2), leaks, odor control , needed clothing suggestions and this site has helped me with recommendations and many ideas worked!
I wish it was around 30 years ago. Thank you everyone!

It looks great for someone with a lower stoma placement than mine. Anything below the belly button should be fine.

It is too snug around the rib cage for me.

Looks good on herโ€ฆ For me, it wouldn't be enough to conceal my flabby arms, and I would have to have it hemmed about 2 feetโ€ฆ.๐Ÿ˜‚jb

All depends on age and weight. Kind of like

Same, looks fabulous on that lass, but I don't do sleeveless as I have always had an inverted triangle shape with "tuckshop lady arms" - "bat wings" - "bingo wings," whatever each country calls 'em!

Personally, I prefer the term "swimmer's physique," and I can guarantee if I'm ever stuck out at sea in a life raft, I will be able to row you all to safety (as opposed to someone with chicken wings)! ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿšข๐Ÿคญ๐ŸŒŠ

The length is fabulous for those of us who are tall. Lol

Wear a shawl, lace jacket, or one of those gauze toppers to hide arms in a sleeveless dress.

Jackets used to be my go-to, and I think they may do wonders for hiding the bag too.

I think I'll just stay with my jeans and shirt.

G-Day Susan,

Apparently, with how the world is going, all I have to say is "I am a woman," and I am.

But I will still stay with jeans and a shirt.

Yes, jackets, tops, scarves would help the top (but negate the coolness of this dress), but I am not tall and would need stilts to even begin to capture the look in this picture ๐ŸŽผ๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŽต โ€œShort people have no bodyโ€ ๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŽถ. jb๐Ÿฅฒ

Messed you up; it would have frightened the sh*t out of me.
