These suggestions are all very helpful. As a petite 74 year old with a large bust, waist definition is important for me. However, the tummy and increased waist size I have accrued over the decades make me feel self conscious about high lighting my waist. Vests, more fitted shirts in a fabric with some heft (mid weight linen) hemmed at high hip and over sized shirts with the top and bottom buttons undone are my favorites. You are so trim that it’s hard to envision anything not looking good on you as long as the scale is right. Great video!
Thank you for your sharing! When I was learning how to make garments, I found the industry was designing clothes all based on one body shape, a mannequin with unrealistic body measurements. I have quite flat bust and a wide waist, not scaled according to those size chart (it's tricky to pick a size for me, could be too loose at bust and tight at waist 😂)...but it's definitely not our fault. At the same time I'm glad to see more brands start to include models of different body shapes to encourage diversity 😊
Your last lace Sezane piece can be half tucked, just the front and leave the back hanging out. Also, if you wanted to style it with a body hugging slip skirt, you can use a belt to make look like its tucked which is how I would style it. But yes I agree, for a petite that length is not ideal for us and I would definitely reconsider keeping that item in my closet.
I feel you! I'm 5'3", but with not very defined shoulders, so the oversized items on me are sometimes without shapes too. Yes, vest or waistcoat are under my radar this summer. They are easy to wear (but I prefer washable version) and gives an instantly chic vibe 😊
Fold the bottom of your lace shirt under and pin the back of it with a brooch. Or use a very slender belt or tie at the waist to give it a tiered effect.
I've never been a fan of tucked in. It's not as comfortable as untucked, and it can look short-waisted. Your last top is really pretty. I would wear it loose, but you could maybe try a belt or sash.
Thank you🥰 That skirt is from a previous Uniqlo C release. It really doesn’t matter to tuck in or not. There are so many styling options for not tucking😊
Hello, I enjoyed your video and the good ideas. I agree that the last lace top seems hard to style. I sometimes shorten a top like that a little bit. I am also going to take in the sides a little on a couple of tops that seem too full on me. Perhaps one of these adjustments would make it a little easier to style that beautiful lace top. Thank you!
Thank you 🥰 Do you mean the "mama" belly 😂 I also noticed...maybe a body shaper underneath will help. Let me go try and maybe share in a future video 😊
Hi, I would try tops with an slightly cropped A-line shape (gradually wider at the waistline), tops with front buttons so you may leave the bottom buttons open to create an upside down 'V', to help define the waistline, or tops with short front panel and longer back panel to have a raised waistline and some design. A-line mini dress is what I would try as well, I would pair it with boots (sometimes A-line dress on me has a night gown vibe, but boots help define the style)
Not true at all that the half tuck is "silly". The slight V created by the little tuck in front is very figure flattering. Time to throw out all those old-fashioned "rules!"
You have such lovely style!
Thank you very much 🥰

Belt the lace blouse and wear with black trousers.
Great ideas! Thanks 😊
Great video! I am getting tired of tucking, and half tucks etc, and was looking for some untucked outfit ideas...Thank you!
Thank you🥰 I learned to tuck but I’m not naturally a fan of tucking😊
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤thank you!

Thank you for your ideas💡 I’ll experiment with these and use them in my future videos 😊😊
These are very cute ideas!
Oversized shirts overwhelm my 5 foot body! Looks like I’m wearing a sack! I need some shaping. I like the vests with a skirt.

Your lace top looks fine out. Love the outfits
The straps for your blue top can b shortened. Try taking it to a dry cleaners that does alterations.
Thank you for the tip 🥰
Fold the bottom of your lace shirt under and pin the back of it with a brooch. Or use a very slender belt or tie at the waist to give it a tiered effect.

Could you maybe make the lace top a peplum top I think it would look nice
Thank you for the alteration idea! I like the idea. I was into sewing before having baby and I'll for sure pull the sewing machine out some day 😃

Hi Rosie, thank you for sharing 🥰
Thanks Ceci!
🥰🥰🥰
I love the yellow pleated skirt. Also I’m overweight and don’t tuck anything
Thank you🥰 That skirt is from a previous Uniqlo C release.

Thanks for your tips

Thank you for your great ideas! You inspired me that longer is better than shorter. At least those garments will have a second chance 😊
I love your videos and you inspired me to buy more...😊😊
Thank you 🥰 Shall we choose better and eventually have more fun in styling than just buying🧐
Yes I can see the problem with that top. It’s a beautiful fabric but a bit shapeless. Perhaps taper the sides and shorten or wear it with trousers
Thank you for the idea 🥰
Interesting
I do not tuck. Not flattering for my body shape.
Love your looks. 3:55 This flowy and tight dress shows too much of the body shape.
Thank you 🥰 Do you mean the "mama" belly 😂 I also noticed...maybe a body shaper underneath will help. Let me go try and maybe share in a future video 😊
I am petite, have big belly and hips , i am not confident to tuck in shirts or tshirts. How can I style better?

Your lacy shirt, I would leave it out and put a thin belt over it.
Thank you for the idea 🥰 I'll give it try : )
Either tuck it all in or leave it out. None of this silly half tucked look.
Not true at all that the half tuck is "silly". The slight V created by the little tuck in front is very figure flattering. Time to throw out all those old-fashioned "rules!"
