The main reason I avoid off shoulder clothing is that curvy women need bras! That’s not possible with a shoulder - revealing top.

@theprousteffect9717 Год назад

Yes, exactly! I haven't found a decent strapless bra that can comfortably support very large breasts.

@b.p.4250 Год назад

Off the table for me too. No matter how structured, by the end of the day they just seem to grab everything and pull it south! 🥺

@potatokatato Год назад

I either wear a strapless bra or a bra with cute straps that I want to show off.

@ZForce5496 Год назад

I have never found a strapless bra that I didn’t either fall out of or feel suffocated in.

@Cecily-Pimprenelle Год назад

This. ... until I’have enough money to buy a corset, or eno7gh skill, time and motivation to make myself one. (Which is... Very Unlikely). It may not work under some type of fabric, though.

@ceilconstante640 Год назад

Amazing difference wearing the right silhouette makes.

@sylvieross5438 Год назад

Thank you for putting a video for shorter curvy women. We see so many ads or videos for taller straighter types of bodies, it can be frustrating and discouraging.

@WellEditedCo Год назад

I needed this video so much! I’m 5’4” and curvy, and could never figure out why certain things look terrible on me. Now I get it! Please make more of these. I have a casual WFH lifestyle so casual everyday clothing ideas that still look good would help me so much.

@mariamoali135 2 месяца назад

@sharonlembo6719 Год назад

Thank you! I’m so tired of being petite with large bust! It’s so limiting with fashion choices 😢

@omahpurwakids Год назад

This is the video that I've been looking for. 😅 The model's stats are the same as mine. I can finally understand why some trends just don't work on me. Thanks Chi! ❤

@g3andrea Год назад

Chi, this is MY BODY too! Everything made me look like a tree stump until I figured out a few of these tips on my own. I have also been on a quest to lose weight. I now have lost more than 45 pounds, and I am starting to see my true proportions. I am petite, large chest, short torso, but otherwise I have a balanced proportions to my figure. Love your videos!

@mylifesings-mariaklingshei1786 Год назад

Thanks so much. I’m 5’ and curvy. This is very helpful. I tend to let the “tent” thing happen because I feel I should accent the bust area, but these tips make a lot of sense and it’s SO HELPFUL to have someone who looks more similar to my shape.

@aspegel5281 10 месяцев назад

Yeah, not liking the belt hack look for the summer dresses - still looks a little frumpy; however, I totally appreciate you providing options so that we don't have to throw out the dress. I love your insight and ideas on how to look more flattering. In fact, I plan to do a closet purge, and this helps me so much to decide what I should donate. I'm always thinking - maybe if I lost more weight - but it just might be the style itself that isn't flattering.

@garlicgirl3149 Год назад

I LOVE the models you are using! They are pretty and different sizes and your recommendations totally make sense on them.

@PetiteDressing Год назад

@ashleyk397 Год назад

Can you do short and pear shape (thin but longer waist with thick thighs and butt)! I likely already know the tips but I love the validation when you post as the expert and maybe have other ideas 😂

@daphne8406 Год назад

I love the long pink dress 🤩 The neckline, waist and sleeves are all very flattering. I love those futtery butterfly short sleeves as sometimes I do not like the size of my upper arms 😅 These look nice, are breezy in hot weather and cover without being tight.

@jc.franco7532 Год назад

Thank you so much for representing my body type! I've honestly felt frumpy and unattractive with this shape, but your video inspired me to change my style and find something that works for me. Even if it takes some time I know I'll find the right pieces that both flatter and comfort me. Thanks!

@deyanirazandbergen5023 2 месяца назад

I have heard from another stylist that this is the most difficult body type to dress! I am one too! Short and 🍊

@hotjanuary Год назад

For turtle neck long sleeve shirts (not sweaters!), you can minimize the undesirable effect by wearing a v neck fitted vest overtop in a contrasting colour. The V will draw the eye away. You can experiment with U shaped and square shaped neck lined vests too. It works for some people. It really depends on your body frame. The Kibbe system will give you a headache on all the different types of body frames.

@xdxdxdxd4575 Год назад

I wear thin turtlenecks under, and turtleneck but cropped west over. So my waistline looks still and also my arms.

@ayanelopes9476 Год назад

Kibbe system helps me a whole lot.

@niki_bbb Год назад

As a curvy(-ish) petite woman I agree with everything you say, however, I don't always want to look "slimmer"! I love voluminous cropped sweaters (and cargo pants) because they are so stylish and comfy, and I don't care if I appear "bigger" to some people. Sometimes it even can be a compliment, since I lift weights and my gains are my hard work!

Thank you for demonstrating actual "curvy", not obese being called curvy. Somehow, in the last couple of decades, curvy became a euphemism for overweight and obese. I'm curvy. Busy with hips. I'm about 5 feet tall. I'm not overweight or obese. Definitely curvy.

@serenawill128 Год назад

Hi Chi! Can you please please do a video about a certain topic? I am a Gen Z young adult and really struggling with navigating the current clothing trends. I am somewhat short (5'4) and very busty and I just don't know what trend is flattering and unflattering on my body. I want to shop some current pieces, but don't want to waste money buying unflattering items. Can you do a video on current trends and what body type is best suited for a specific item? So which trend is suitable/unsuitable for different bust sizes, stomach sizes, the varying body shapes, etc. And some trends for example being baggy pants/jeans, low rise jeans, crop tops, tops with very thin straps, baggy cargo pants, oversized tops and jackets, short skirts, and other y2k trends. Thanks!

@kimberlyperrotis8962 Год назад

I’m petite, short-waisted and a (natural) 36E and I agree with all your great tips! This is another one I discovered: avoid gathers above or below the bust, they give that unflattering, bursting out look, like the stereotype “buxom barmaid”. In general, I avoid bulky, or too-tight, or high-neck tops. Especially too-tight ones, if a top (or dress) has horizontal strain lines, or gapping at the buttons, it’s too small. Bust darts really help the fit, too; a flat piece of fabric doesn’t fit well over such pronounced curves. I always look for those darts in tops and dresses.

Thank you! I needed this. Please make more! One suggestion: could you suggest alternative styling options from within the same season? E.g. the alternative suggestion for the turtleneck sweaters was a summery wrap dress which won’t work in the cold. How can you keep your whole neck and chest covered to stay warm but still not emphasise your bust? Thanks!

@ecclesiaxxi6210 Год назад

Thank you, I'm petite and curvy (1950s type curvy, so I am slim, I mention this because so many mistake it as just plus, when it's not, it's petite/slim but just hourglass with bust and bottom), thank you for this, I'm 30DD, but seeing your model is 36D with latina type curves that's great because it'll mean although I'm European build it'll likely work as well for me. I absolutely love East Asian fashion etc. but they're very delicately built, in the sense of ...not very curvy or busty, so things that I like (inc. the baggy sweater look that's trending there) I just sadly know wouldn't look nice on me... I'm so happy you've taken into account practical issues with different body types, so many just think oh curvy means plus, and it's like, there are a lot of us who just look 1950s curvy... Thank you :)

@kiwi007 Месяц назад

I'm 5ft, slim except for DD cups. Have considered a reduction because of clothing always making me look chubby. I'm nearly 60 now and have learnt these tricks over the years. Dark fitted tops help, and one colour all the way through makes you appear longer. Watch out for contrasting shoes that can also cut your look and make you look shorter . Good on this channel helping younger women not battling a lifetime of bad clothing choices. 😊

The problem is you can’t find clothes for the winter season. All the examples are for the spring and summer season.

@theprousteffect9717 Год назад

Thin layers work well. If it's really cold, I'll wear a fitted t shirt with a fitted sweater (not chunky knits) over it, and a classic structured wool trench coat that nips in at the waist, or that has a belt. And even though it's covering the neck, I'll still wear scarves to keep warm, because it's winter and warmth takes precedence!

Thank you for your styling tips. These suggestions apply to someone who is tall but has an inverted triangle body shape like myself too. Would you say those garments which didn’t work for us would work for someone that has an opposite body shape to us like a pear shape? Or in general, those garments are not the most flattering for anyone?

@AndreaGerakSinger Год назад

On spot! I have small boobs but curvy hip and thighs, and I can apply everything you say here, except for two points: 1. Short sweaters are great 2. High neck, especially turtle neck will indeed make my boobs look a bit bigger. And I don't even understand why those that you put on the NO side are in fashion at all: for example, here in my country a few decades ago billowy dresses and blouses were considered for pregnant women only - and I think they do look like that. 😅

@b.p.4250 Год назад

All your videos are great but this might be my favorite one yet, and you used clothing from your own line too! I like Wendy the model- if it looks good on her, it will look good on me 😀 Some advice once given us petites (not by you!) was not avoid belts because they cut the silhouette in half. I wonder if that accounts for all the shapeless items in the Petites department, or the industry just doesn’t care about us. I need some more belts!

@SohiHien 8 месяцев назад

I think if you use a belt in a similar color to the shirt/dress it stops that cut in half look. It just provides cinching and narrowing of the waist to the shirt/dress but doesn't distract the eye too much like a belt with a contrasting color would be. So don't use a black belt on a white dress, use a white or maybe pastel color belt and it avoids contrast and therefore heavy cutoff between top and bottom.

@b.p.4250 8 месяцев назад

Agree, and the width of the belt makes a difference too. 😃

@barbaragaj6314 Год назад

I very like your channel, and also like that you have now different models. Please could you also wear the other one, wich, I think wear bigest size than this on todays video. It's hard to finde what will look good in this case.

I'm 5'3", in my 60s, not so big in the bust any more, but they haven't disappeared, either. I've lost a lot of weight over the years and look reasonably slim. However, I still have a short torso, no waistline and generally carry most of my weight and volume on the top. I have skinny legs and a flat butt nowadays. I'm not so worried about slimming, but everything seems too long. I don't like tight tops, but I don't want that rectangle look, either. I like button down the front shirts that are a little loose. Mainly because I they're comfortable and I can get by without a bra. But I'm sure it doesn't look too sharp, especially over pants that are baggy in the thighs and rolled up. These tips will help a lot when I go to town and want to look more presentable!

@peacefultowers 9 месяцев назад

Very nice tips thank you! I have one question - I understand using a belt helps give shape but if one has belly fat and wide hips how to make the belt work? Appreciate your advice thank you
