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 💃
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. 🙀
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!
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! 🤍
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!
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.
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😊
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.
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.
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. 💖
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 😊
Wow, you achieved major improvements for these 2 models with fairly simple changes, that work for everyday wear! AND you could tell it boosted their self-esteem. Thank you so much, I can apply these for myself immediately! 🤩
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 ❤
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 😊
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.) 😊
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.
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.
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!
6:29 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
These are helpful points, thank you as I clean out my closset! Your Mother looks stunning in the (4:45) 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.
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.
What utterly beautiful models, so wonderful to see a designer who puts their money where their mouth is and uses the right models for the video. They look amazing !
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.
This was my first time to view your videos, and I immediately subscribed. Your use of "true to life" models was much appreciated. Many other styling videos show the concepts of how to dress a certain shaped body, but the model doesn't match in real life. Might I request a video on the apron stomach, please? I am an apple with an apron. Thank you.
Wow amazing transformations! I love what you did with both of these lovely models. The only one I felt I didn't agree was where you put mother in skinny jeans as opposed to a slight flair as she looked top heavy there, but ty very much. New sub here. x
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 🤗
very good video, really finally real life models and so good explained, all the details) Do you maybe want to insert video parts separators, for better viewing?
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! 💃🤗🤍

Glad you like them
And thank you for your feedback!🫶
😂😂😂😂😂 Well it is a plus size video 😂😂😂😂 no surprises 😊
Agree!
@@lfcdelbridge glad to hear!
All women are real women. I really dislike this "reverse" shame thrown at thinner women by people in the plus size community.
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. ☺
@@Toni_Snark totally! 💯🙌🤍

The changes in your mum’s outfit was so good she looked pound’s lighter and years younger

Hi Giedre - thanks for putting apple/pear at the side - huge help.

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!
Sure thing! thank you!❤
Im sorry, but to me the look with the red pants was better than the other
I definitely thought red pants made bottom look larger
I liked the red pants better, too. The color really popped. Nothing wrong with showing off a big bottom. Her curves are attractive.
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.
I am a plus size woman in my 50s and I would never touch those big floral prints.

Now if we could get more clothing manufacturers to offer dark wash plus size jeans without fading or whiskers...
Excellent tips, with real-life models! thank you so much. You are appreciated
Thank you for real life models, everything looks great❤
I think the turquoise top and trouser outfit looks great, much better than the blue busy top and trousers.
Agreed! Came to say the same thing.
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.
Agreed! Lifting the girls can help to make the torso longer and in better proportion with her lower half.
Absolutely! It was the first thing I noticed and thought the same thing.

This was very nice. How about tuniques for big sized older women? My favorite style is long tunique and pants.
Yes, mine too- I am apple- shaped. Maybe Giedre would advise a scarf to break the alongation of the waist?
Great video and models too. 😊❤
