Hey ID, there are different ways for different folks depending on its location, size, how you need to dress, etc. I think if you specify your difficulty, some folks might be familiar enough to jump in and offer solutions.

I ware a bandeau available from the Bay in Canada (about $15.00). It is basicaly a tube top with straps. I do not use the straps and ware it around my waist. I cut the strap loops off the front so I can tell the front from the back. It does increase the chance of pancaking and balloning because the filter gets blocked but I just do not like my bag flopping around. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1JvQ8bDr_4

Ostomy surgery is stressful both for the patient and the caregiver, and creates a major life change for both people in a relationship.

I made pockets in my T-shirts to hold my pouch. From the bottom of an old T-Shirt I cut a piece about 6 by 4 and use that iron on stuff to glue it to the inside of the shirt right where the pouch would hang. I'm certainly not a tailer but I learned to double up the sides and top of the device then use the iron on stuff. It doesn't hide it but keeps it from flopping around.
Good luck.
