I hope this video will give you some insights and practical ideas on how to improve your look no matter the body shape or size! Let’ celebrate everyBody! 💃🤗🤍
I would love a Part 2 to this video for SHORT curvy women. I’m 4’10” with short legs, broader shoulders and biggish chest (which excludes the ‘petite’ category, even when I was thinner) Everything is too long!
Thanks for the effort with the different body types. But I got the impression that you filmed the after - pictures abut further away. What would make an overall smaller picture ..
@@Palliativcare thanks! Just why should I imitate something? I’m filming and exploring as I find genuine interest in this topic and visual comparison and effects we can have on ourselves 💃
Great and helpful video! I think you are the first person who actually used plus sized models to show us before and after. Please continue to do so as it is very helpful!
So many of us are stuck on that "size" number and are wearing clothing that is too small. It doesn't matter what it says the size is, wear what fits your body. Cut the tag off if it makes you feel better. ☺
You are so right about not looking at the size listed on the outfit. In 1958, a Size 12 was a 25” waist; in 2024, a Size 12 is a 35” waist. You might be wearing the same size, but you sure aren’t the same size. 🙀
I wasn't aware of the effect of shiny fabrics on our appearance. Your example was impressive. Earlier I notice that my face looks better if I were something shiny, but in future I will use a scarf for that effect!
@@marinarehren7076 what a great observation from your side! That’s so true as shiny fabrics (especially white colored, sequins) they reflect more light and that helps to improve the look (reduce wrinkles, even out the skin tone etc.) so in order to have rhe similar effect you can add just a bit making sure it’s the closest layer to your face (a top, scarf, necklace, a lapel, embellishments, etc) 🌞🫶 thank you for bringing that up! 🤍
Beautiful apple lady (oh your mum! 😍 hi mum!) also needed to invest in a new bra. I couldn’t believe the difference a professionally fitted bra made to my apple shape. My bust looked like it was sagging onto my tummy and disappearing under my armpits. With a properly fitted bra my bust now sits on the front of my chest and ends above my tummy. It makes clothes look so much better.
Thank you SOOOOO much! Over 60 and plus size videos are not great, you did great! Please do more. Here are a couple of ideas to look at. Heals, most over 60 do not walk well in them, but the orthopedic options are terrible. Any ideas? Layers do look nice, but we are often hot…. What about bellies that hang down? Thanks!
Great ideas, thank you for catering to us not so tiny or young people. Not everyone is a size zero or in our 20s anymore. Your mom is just adorable, I’m so glad she let you use her as a model. What you picked for her was so flattering.
Love your videos.......kudos to you for using real looking people. Not size 2 models. Your Mom is great !! Can relate to all your suggestions, and just to let you know, I'm a woman in my middle seventies now and still love to look great in every outfit. Even if I just go to the grocery store. ❤
Another great video! Lately I’ve been seeing the benefits of wearing a vest like you’ve shown. I always stayed away from wearing them with a sleeveless tank because it exposes my arms, but the vertical benefit of that black vest was very noticeable! Have a wonderful day everyone. 💖
Thank you for addressing the concerns of a plus size woman. I appreciate the "real" models and think it was great that your mother agreed to be one of your models. This is the first video of yours that I have watched. I was very impressed and so decided to subscribe as well. I look forward to watching more of your videos. Have a happy day - Heidi😊
Great tips here. Your mum looked so much better afterwards. But, to really elevate her, a properly fitting bra to lift her figure and therefore give her more length in the waist as well would have looked even better again.
Great video, dear Giedre! I've been a little absent lately, but I wanted to update. Great advice. I like the idea of using colors smartly without bringing so much attention to oneself. I especially like the blue outfit (tip #3); it's so beautiful. I'm also planning to wear my gilet more in the fall, but I find it a little complicated because the design is too straight. In tip #5, yes the outfit makes your mother shine. And the long top tip; how impactful is it. I still struggle with it, but I've been actively changing that. Thanks for sharing!
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="389">6:29</a> I agree with adding the third long piece. But, even sleeveless, it is not possible in warmer climates. I really warm at 40 C. I discovered tho, that achieve the same effect by adding a 72cm long cotton scarf with indian prints without tying it, just draped around the neck.
That’s a great suggestion… thanx I’m in Australia and the heat here is un bearable in one layer often, so I’d struggle trying to wear more than that too, so I’ll try draping a cotton scarf and see how that goes. Great video & I love seeing normal plus size real women - it’s great ! Thanks
I came across this video by accident. I’ve never seen your channel before but I was absolutely fascinated watching your video. The changes to the clothes made so much difference. I’m 67yrs old but have never felt that I know what I’m doing with clothes. My clothes size has gone up and down over the years but has settled at a UK size 12 but I am literally straight up and down. I have a small bust, no waist, boyish hips and no bottom. Very much a rectangle. Would love to see a video on how to dress. Your models looked stunning 😊
These are helpful points, thank you as I clean out my closset! Your Mother looks stunning in the (<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="285">4:45</a>) skirt outfit. Thank you so much for these ideas as I havent worn a dress/shirt outfit in years as I didnt know how to style my plus 20 size body. More videos please.
Such a delightful presentation….I struggle with my swollen ab and hope to lose weight and e enjoy dressing again right now I’m trying to put together a core wardrobe following your suggestions….looking forward to more on your channel
Great to see real shape ladies in your video. So many other stylists seem ‘unable’ to find these real people. Makes us feel that we (apple, pear shapes) are in the minority! Thank you 😊
Delighted to find your channel! Your suggestions are not only practical, but, as a senior on a limited pension, attainable. Thank you and looking forward to future videos.
You are the first stylist that I ever seen that really understands curvy women bodies. Thank You, I learned a lot with excellent examples, you’re truly talented ❤
This channels content is rather unique, others just list "trends", that seems to change every year. Abd encourage the wasteful fast fashion . The shortcoming for me, which I can change, is the pastel colours. I do not want to blend into the walls.
At last the ladies that are not slim but still beautiful ! Now we can really see the difference on real people. Many thanks x I'm so please I found this viedo.❤
I love that you just get into your information instead of spending time talking about yourself, and why you are doing this , etc. etc. Pithy keeps my interest. (Good hints, too.) 😊
Thank you. I spent 10 years literally living in scrubs as a night nurse. Now that I am disabled I live in house dresses. Being plus sized is so hard to shop for. So thank you for the tips.
I watch your videos and love the changes, but with my own wardrobe In cannot achieve the same results somehow... I very rarely don't feel frumpy and so I keep shopping and shopping. Are there 2 or 3 key pieces I need as an apple shaped lady?
@@108ladylena what a great question, thank you! It really depends a lot on your personal style and your everyday lifestyle. If I nees to name 3 things- I would say a third piece for layering, a nice fit good quality straight-leg pants and a v-neckline top 🤗
You didn’t mention the bust. Keeping the girls on the chest is youthful and making them stick out further than the belly in profile provides a lot of slimming balance.
The red pants and white top were much cuter , showed confidence over that awful tan pants with layered white tops. I also preferred the before outfits over those with the long sweaters ...the after looked frumpy and too much "trying to cover up." The simple pants and top were sleek and didn't need to hide. Also want to mention, good under garments can do a lot for improving one's figure. The dark vest or wrap was a good tip for the patterned pants. But other outfits didn't benefit from the layers. Maybe richer colors, scarves or jewelry would be a better approach than covering up with layers.
Definite improvements, but much was also due to what was not mentioned: the length of the hemline and the shape of the clothes. The jeans on the apple went from wide leg to tailored, the dresses and skirts became knee-length and changed from aline or flare to pencil, etc. Basic rule is that baggy makes big look even bigger and these style changes made that very evident.
Thank you for your outfit hacks as they relate to the apple shape. Can you please do a video or provide insite as to why bottoms (including underwear) roll down? I am constantly pulling and tugging which makes me not confident in clothes i wear. I am apple shape (size 16/18) and any bottom I wear, I am always pulling them up even if i have a belt on tight. If I go a size down, they seem to produce a muffin top, if I get my size, I'm pulling up still. I'm not sure if it's the stretch ratio I am getting need to get. This even goes for stockings and underwear..😮 they go under my stomach area (5'8, 250 ish no waist, hips, shapely thick thighs /legs and top heavy)
In my case, my problem was wedgies. Long ago I watched a video on RU-vid on choosing underwear according to body types and found the perfect one for me. In case of skirts and pants, I need to get high rise pants to avoid rolling down.
7:22 long tops. These are just not long enough. I get tops to go to my knees, creating a dress over pants or dress over long skirt look . Hides my knock knees too and creates a long line .
@@babalu-oc6iubelieve it or not..I tried both. I saw a video like that and they said for underwear, high cut type underwear because apples do not need all of the material in the back since have little boots. I've even tried hight waist pants but I also have shorter torso and long legs so that crotch area was way too long on me. Zipper seemed like it went on for days😂
I would have liked to see you style the model's straight shift, which I thought fit her well and is a classic design. Maybe with appropriate jewelry, shoes and handbag.
