Body Shape Master Class 11: How to style larger hips & bottom. Beautifully curvy size pear 16-18 

So proud of my gorgeous sister - embracing her beautiful shape and looking so confident! So many great tips, which I need to take on too! Thank you Melissa :)

The woman who modeled was terrific. I enjoyed her so much. I would take breathing classes with her without any hesitation.

Ellie was a fabulous model. I love her confidence and bubbly nature and she looked gorgeous in all the outfits.

Ellie. You have inspired countless women with your enthusiasm and willingness to try new things. I think that's why many of us don't feel great about how we look. We try to force our bodies into styles that don't work for us. You showed us that when you find the right style for your shape, the options are limitless. Loved the green jumpsuit. But then I loved all of it. Thanks for putting yourself out there. You are stunningly beautiful and keep going! Thank you Melissa!

Never apologize for Monty; we love him! Ellie is stunning and looks lovely! ❤❤❤

Fantastic session!!! Ellie was a superb model. Love the witty fashion comments. When I was younger I used to always say “I’m freezing for fashion” when I wouldn’t wear a bulky winter coat over what I was wearing.

Bring Ellie back! She is fabulous and the tips were very helpful

Your beautiful client is the closest body type to mine so far. I’m just a bit taller and slightly less rounded in the hip area. It’s hard when you have a tummy and a bigger bum to work with. My body has changed so much in the last five years I have often just given up trying to style myself and just run around in my sweats and hoodies. This video gave me so much inspiration and hope to find my own style that fits and works for me. PS. Love the Monty cameo. He is so adorable. Love it when he pops in.

I feel self conscious about my upper arms so I wouldn't ever want to make them look larger or wider. I know it works but I wouldn't be able to leave the house lol Colorful dress and the blazer outfits were my favs. These ladies that model are so brave to come on utube.

Ellie is gorgeous and looks great in all the outfits! And I do love seeing exuberant Monty!

I just had to come on and say you’re right!! 😂 I’m a similar size and height to Ellie and a pear - today I took delivery of a black blazer from h&m premium range to wear with jeans and flatform trainers and omg I’m converted!! It really balances me out and I look so much slimmer and more in proportion! You’re a genius!

That jumpsuit!!! I gasped out loud when I saw that. Goodness gracious she is a bombshell in that.

She has a BEAUTIFUL figure!!!!!!!!! and omg you styled her so good!!!! You are so extremely talented! One thing I find difficult these days is finding modern pieces that are not dropped shoulder and a crew neck. I can't wait for some structure to start returning.

I think she looks lovely in her black dress and denim jacket

Love love Ellie! Please bring her back for other episodes - she beautifully shows a shape and size relable to so many of us. And she looked great 🙌🏻💖

What a gorgeous woman! And great styling! 🌟 And pleeeeaaaase let Monty in in every video!! 😍❣️

Absolutely great video! Ellie is SO beautiful! It amazes me how these tips of balancing the outfit to create the hourglass shape works every time! I love your videos, Melissa! Thank you!

Monty was keeping in line with your real woman mantra! This is what happens day to day!

I think this has to be my favourite video from the body shape masterclasses ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ellie is such a joy and she is absolutely beautiful. We love us some Monty too 😂

Thank you for doing all body types… I resonate most with Ellie’s body type today… From the waist up I feel good about styling myself, but my lower half, hips legs thighs etc. is my trouble area and you did a fantastic job today… Thank you so much!!!

🤣🤣🤣 love Monty! We’ve all been there❤️

Elle, you are so gorgeous. I love how you were able to highlight your style and could appreciate styling techniques that weren’t quite you

Whow, Ellie looked amazing. I especially loved the green jumper and white dress... really hope she comes back for a summer episode ;-)

What a fabulous Master Class. This video had me smiling and chuckling all the way through, what wonderful energy you both have. I loved all the outfits, Ellie looked absolutely stunning. A perfect example of a gorgeous lady with such beautiful curves. ❤

Ellie is giving me early Kim Wilde vibes! Stunning lady and the outfits looked amazing on her. Thank you both SO MUCH for showing real body shapes 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Loved this video- due in large part to Ellie. Such a bubbly, nice personality as well as a beautiful model. Styling tips were hugely helpful! You both have great chemistry and I hope that you will do more videos together soon. (Love all your videos)

Thank you so much for showing me how to dress a real woman says I (size 14). Ellie looked fantastic in everything but I especially liked the colorful silk dress and the final casual outfit which was so wearable day to day. Brilliant!

That olive jumpsuit is amazing! Ellie, that suits you so well.

Ellie, Ellie, Ellie you look absolutely stunning in every single outfit ❤( except the pattern dress which in my opinion is 1 size too big) I usually stay quiet most of the times but dam lady I couldn't appreciate how you brought everything together more. Btw I also have a swollen ankle that broke many years ago so I understand. Can you plz do one with a rectangle shape model. I've lost weight and now my hips and butt has reduced so I'm more straight and would like to learn how to dress to help me look fabulous in my outfits. Thanks 😊

Melissa, you are so good at your profession!! Thank you for helping me and every other woman who still want to look fashionable but struggle with hiding what we see as imperfections. Ever since discovering your channel my wardrobe has been elevated and I’ve been able to get rid of those things that I believed I needed to wear to disguise myself but really were making me look bigger/shorter. I’ve also stepped out of my comfort zone! Thank you!

Oh Ellie, you are utterly stunning! Thanks for doing this, so so grateful. xxxx

I must let you know that you have made my day and probably my year. No one ever really styles for this type body. I am similar in size although sadly my breasts are 4 times Ellie’s size but I came away with some great pointers. If you ever need a model with my shape I will fly over immediately; it’s horrible and embarrassing trying to find clothes that don’t accentuate my bust. Again thank you from the bottom of my heart.

What a Treat your content is Melissa , always go away with some fab ideas . Ellie looked amazing xxx

Ellie is gorgeous! We have similar body types so this is so appreciated ! She reminds me so much of Renee Zellweger 🥰

Not only is Ellie beautiful, she has a beautiful personality! Gorgeous woman!!

Elle, you are gorgeous and every outfit looked beautiful on you! I believe in embracing our bodies and finding ways in which to enhance our shapes. Thank goodness we have you Melissa to help us figure out how to approach this often difficult process. I continue to listen to your mantra, how to achieve the hour glass figure, and then try to make it happen with your tips. Great video and thank you!

This video resonated with me very strongly! Ellie is a beautiful model and I found the examples extremely useful because I am shaped like her. It was so nice to see her excited about the pieces you selected. I think you did a fabulous job and she looked gorgeous in everything you chose for her. Thank you for styling all shapes and sizes, real women everywhere appreciate you!

Hi Melissa Every time I think you can not get any better you do a great shape video. Elle is gorgeous anyhow. Being a hairstylist I will say she has the perfect hair …color, cut and the texture and thickness of her hair. She also has a beautiful complexion. I was amazed at what the clothes you picked out for her did to give her an even better shape. I love the jumpsuit..at first I thought it was a top and joggers. I bought my first pair of joggers to wear out. I like my at home joggers bigger to be comfy,so bought a large and looking at Elle and the way that jumpsuit fits I realize I should have bought a medium in that particular pair. The outfits were all good but I was blown away by the white dress. I never wear a white dress. That one actually makes her look two sizes smaller. Melissa you are amazing. I think Monty is trying to get into the Utube scene. He might want $$$ for extra treats 😂. Love your videos and your personality. You and Elle made this not only informative but fun. Have a great week. ❤

🤩 Monty is such a lovely dog. The overall looks beautiful on her. Well done!

I agree with the cropped slightly flared pant with the beautiful red pointy shoes. Beautiful outfit though I think my favourite was the white dress. Gorgeous!

What a beautiful, lovely client 🥰! This video blew me away!!! I watch them all and always learn something new, but this one was extraordinary helpful. Thank you so much for your hard work, Melissa. You are so empathetic, smart and lovely. Greetings from Germany, Sabine 😘

Every video needs a Monty!!!! Love him! And your advise.

She is gorgeous and I envy her confidence. I have a similar shape, size, and style and this was so helpful to restyle what I already have in my closet. Loved this session!

These were good tips. More Ellie! And more Monty, always! ❤❤❤❤❤

That last outfit, the jeans, maroon sweater, white shirt under, blazer is JUST WOW!!!! She said she was "heading down to 14" and that outfit makes it look like she has achieved it. Stunning.

Great session. Loved the looks on Ellie. So beautiful. When she walked up close to the camera in the split view I was stunned by her beautiful complexion and face and coloring. Wow! What a stunner.

Loved Ellie, and she looked great in everything!

I love videos like this. It really helps to see someone so gorgeous and perfectly fine the way she is but has insecurities. It makes me realise that other people probably see me in the way I look at Ellie rather than they way she sees herself. Not sure if that makes sense to anyone except me 😂

What a beautiful woman! She looks fabulous 🤩

Great video. You really dressed Ellie fantastically. She looked fabulous, and so pleased at the end that she was happy in showing her ankles , they looked fine. Beautiful model with lovely personality!! And we all love Monty.

I really loved this episode. Elle has got such a lovely energy about her and oh my God, she looked gorgeous in everything! You are a great, beautifull and respectfull stylist. Thank you so much for all the tips.

Wow, Ellie...you're such a beauty! Love your look and your personality. Thank you for being willing to be a model for Melissa.I learned some wonderful tips today 💖

Great video Melissa. Ellie looked fabulous in all the outfits. I especially liked the jumpsuit on her. Very flattering. Monty was so proud of himself 🥰

Ellie, you are absolutely gorgeous. I have a body shape very similar to you, although not as lucky in the bust area! I am so inspired by these outfits on you. And Monty coming in unexpectedly was great! And loved your warmth and graciousness dealing with it Melissa.

Thaks to Ellie, she looked great in all the outfits! Another wonderful video to help us get dressed in the what best suits our bodies and of course we can not forget Monty's cameo appearance. 🥰🤩

I love all your videos but this one was one of the best! You both have a wonderful record and the energy was great!

I love the peek-a-boo t shirt under the sweater. It’s such a classic and so complimentary. I also love love that we get shoulder pads back.

Oh my!!! She is Gorgeous!!! I love love love the way you dressed her. Amazing!!! I feel like I’ve learned so much in 2 shows I’ve watched so far!! The green jumpsuit looked fabulous was my fav and the last one!!! ❤

Loved the arrival of Monty mis session he was loving the looks as well !

She is beautiful and elegant. All these clothes help accent her beauty. Thanks for the video and helps me since I also have a similar body type.

This video is my favorite! Ellie is beautiful!!!! Her personality comes across and you just want to hang out with her. Love all the outfits!!!

Everything looked wonderful. Loved it all. She looked beautiful.

Ellie is adorable…love her in green..and the red kitten heels were beautiful. Her ankles looked great…the Joie top is a must have…😊

That first jump suit is wow 😍 and the white dress oh my gosh!!!! Great episode.

She looks beautiful in everything.

Love this entire series but this is my fave episode, as the most similar body shape and height to me. I've ordered the jumpsuit, sock boots, and trousers. I will watch again and try to recreate the looks.

Another brilliant video Melissa. Ellie looked great in everything but the 'artsy' dress blew me away. Her personality is right for it-she looked fabulous! Love your dog Monty too.

What a gorgeous woman! Great styling!

Love Ellies personality and she looks gorgeous, x

My shape exactly! Love me some puffed sleeves. Great model!

Wow some fabulous outfits..love this..look at the smiles on Ellie’s face😀

The green jumpsuit is absolutely perfect for her ❤

Again just a magnificent job. Elle was fabulous. And of course a video wouldn’t be complete without a cameo from Monty 😁

Thank you. Great video with so many useful tips. Monty's joyful and wet entrance was lovely to see 🐕🧡

"Free the figure!" Thank you, Ellie 💛 Your original go-to outfit (tent dress/denim jacket) is MY go-to outfit 😧 Oops! I'm so inspired. Melissa is MAGIC!!!

She looks so much nicer in the separates that the dresses imo. Good styling tips.

Beautiful looks...that have inspired me, since my shape is similar enough to your guest's. And your dog Monty is quite the character, btw! 😊

Really enjoyed this video Melissa, Ellie is so bubbly and looked amazing in everything you put her in. Love seeing you guys have fun! 👍☺️💕

I hope Ellie took the jumpsuit home too! Very funky and fabulous on her especially with the white boots.

The highlight of this post is the dog, showering the world with love. :)

she is absolutely gorgeous! Great outfits!!!!!!!

wet dog entrance, that was hilarious !!!!! love it

Ellie is Beautiful. Is she a model? I could see her modeling for many brands. She looked great and even better how you styled her, Melissa!

you are so amazing, Mellissa!!! I just sent one of my friends to this video for reference, instead of wasting time explaining, so I watched it again and I love it again! your personality adds so much to you perfect advice

Love Ellie !!! She is gorgeous and has a great personality… very inspiring….

Thanks again Melissa……it’s just so refreshing to see everyday lady’s with everyday body’s….getting such great advise and tips to help us feel more confident in how we can dress. I have enormous boobs…and thick round the middle and large hips…big everywhere …size 22 …I need to be adventurous ❤

What a beautiful model. She could be a plus size model!. My size too , so helpful.

Thank you so much for this! You have shown me how to capture and style something I could never articulate before. Feeling optimistic and inspired.

You have the best style of anyone on here. More updates plus sized people with fashion still in the stores please!There are so fewer choices than regular sizes we don’t get a chance to buy things before they sell out. I would pay to subscribe to a current fashion blog.

Lovely model and lovely outfits! Ellie had some great phrases, too, haha. Love the little dog cameo!

Love the outfits you selected for her.

Ellie is beautiful,the jumpsuit and white dress are stunning. Love her hair it’s fab

You're great at real world styling and explanation. Ellie looks great.

She’s beautiful 🤩 I’ve been eagerly awaiting this one

Ellie looked amazing in those pieces, she's my twin in height size and offcourse curves...loved this so much with exception to denim dress it's a no no for those curves. Thanks to you both ladies that's a great start of the year Melissa 👌x

Melissa you are just brilliant! Thank you for this great video and kudos to the lovely Ellie, you rock!!!

Ellie’s a smasher! And Melissa really tuned in-as always- to the client’s body shape, lifestyle and preferences. Simply loved this!

This is exactly what I need I'm a 16-18 with large belly and hips and thick calves. 45 years old and I'm 5'3" so I have to be careful what I wear. I'm usually in too big sweats and fitted t shirts. I miss dressing up I have the clothes I just can't style them correctly. Until now this is great thank you ❤

Wow I love this, Ellie was fab and the styling was another winner Melissa - thank you Ladies !
