Captioning the post, the social media star said: “Wearing tight dresses has always been super scary for me. In the past I was always so fearful that people would be judging me.
“That all they would be looking at was my belly. That a dress which hugs all of my lumps and bumps would attract all of the wrong kind of attention.
“Me a few years ago would never have pictured this. Pictures of me choosing tight dresses to wear and flaunting my curves!”
She added: “I have just WORN the damn dress. Time and time again I’ve picked the tight dress, put my fears aside and absolutely loved them.
“So no, I don’t care if my tummy is on display, if it hugs all my lumps and bumps. Because tummies are beautiful! And we should show them to the world.
“Also we touched down in LA YAY! My first LA event ever. Will take you guys along for the ride hehe @showpo.”
