I love the prevailing message here: dress for yourself - not for trends or friends. If we do this, we can confidently "sit out" the styles & silhouettes that don't flatter us - saving time, frustration and money.
You hit the nail right on the head. I’m neither petite nor an “apple” shape, but the underlying principle is to know yourself and your style preferences, and wear what YOU feel looks best and what YOU enjoy wearing. Trends be damned. If they work for you, go for it. If not, ignore them, since they’ll be gone in a year anyhow!
Ooh la la, that red and black outfit is stunning! Thank you to Elizabeth for her courage in sharing her before and after pix. I love that the transformation is about her style, smile, and confidence, not pounds, kilos, or stone. ❤🎉
Oh Marie-Anne, what a lovely story. Elizabeth looks so happy and confident having followed your advice. Ten years younger and positively sparkling. Just wonderful 👏🏻😊sally 🇳🇿
Thank you to Elizabeth for her willingness to share her transformation with us. She is a beautiful woman! Her confidence and style in the last two photos are wonderful to see. Thank you to you, Marie-Anne, for your positive inspiration.
Elizabeth looks amazing. The pink jacket looks beautiful on her and is a lovely color on her. The black dress, red jacket look is on point. She has really done the hard work and it shows.
Elisabeth, you are absolutely stunning in the black dress/red jacket. Wow! I had to back up the video and look again- 3 times! I wasn't sure it was the same person. Thank you for sharing your style journey. ❤
Elizabeth looks beautiful with her new style! The only thing I would say, being on the petite side myself, is she should have the jackets tailored to bring the sleeves up a tad so they don't look too long. I always have to do this with jackets. But I love the colors she chose, they add so much to the final look!
Elizabeth looks fantastic! But you know what the best accessory is? Her beautiful smile and the confidence she radiates! You can tell she's feeling it! Can't wait to see how the advanced course will level her up!
Elizabeth looks amazing in both outfits. Also, I'm not a fan of pointed shoes but the ones Elizabeth is wearing with her black trousers look really elegant and chic.
This video is a perfect example of how to make the best of yourself. It proves that you can work with your body shape and the result is a wow. Your expert guidance is invaluable Marie-Anne. Elizabeth is still herself but the best version. She looks beautiful. Thank you both xx
Elizabeth looks amazing so amazing in her new styles. The skinny cropped jeans were not working for her. I have now thrown away mine! I'm also an Apple, so thanks for these tips on how to shop for clothing that flatters my figure🍎 Merci, Marie-Anne🤎
What an encouraging and positive video of someone who realized she was ready for a change, and how Marie-Ann’s knowledge and videos can affect such a difference. Thank you to both of you for sharing this. .Marie-Ann’s “critique not criticism” sets the tone for sure. Time to check out the e-courses!
Ohhhh Marie-Anne, Elisabeth looks million dollars. What a great transformations, Love it. You dear ,French chic lady, have done your job excellently. Love especially that black dress with bright red jacket, you look like a film star. Your hair style suits you so well and the smile does everything dazzling. Well done. Lots of love 🤗🤗🤗❤❤❤
Elizabeth looks beautiful and she is smiling confidently as she knows she looks great. I love how her hair also compliments her new style. Jewel colors are so attractive on her and this is such an inspiration. Excellent video! ☀️🦩🥥🌴☺️😍😊🥰❤️🥰❤️
She has made a fabulous transformation! She took your guidance to heart and incorporated the colors she loves. I do believe her smile looks even more radiant 💕

Wonderful, congratulations to both of you. It shows how well your resources are thought out when your clients can apply them and get the outcome they wanted. Fabulous.
I think the transformation was really of her mind and spirit. When the "given up" look strikes you in the mirror , it is time to look inside and reclaim your confidence and style it accordingly. We'll done, Elizabeth and Marie-Anne! ❤
