I agree! A lot of us who have gained and lost weight and had babies, have this type body shape. Finally someone addresses it and shows it on someone with that body shape and not a super skinny girl.
Right?! Wish I say this video 20 yrs ago. Figured out most of it myself over time but not without buying 3 million wrong pieces! I'm looking for suggested buys though. She and I are the exact same shape. Love the outfits!
Theresa- thank you , thank you, thank you! You have given those of us with a similar body shape such a gift. I can’t tell you how much this helps me. Huge hugs to you! You look amazing.
Melissa, I must say that I've learned more from you than any other person about styling. Ever. You are a sweetheart and your goodness shines through in every video. Thank you for giving us so much helpful information for free on this platform. You have really upped my game in the style category.
You were right, Melissa. This was a fabulous video and not once did I notice Theresa's "trouble spot". She looks amazing and you worked your magic, as usual. BTW-- loved our styling session this past Wednesday and am finding the styling course really useful! 💕Catherine
I'm so pleased to hear you're enjoying the course! Let us know if you need any help by commenting in the discussion box and don't forget to join the facebook group afterwards, we're loving seeing everyones transformations!
Love to know her secret… I’m 61 size 18 at my heaviest ever and struggling to lose weight and it’s making me miserable.This really helps me to know how to dress now. She looks fabulous. ❤️
no secret to weight loss. Lose the bread, potatoes, sugar, honey, rice, pasta. Fast food. Cook from scratch with good low carb veggies and chicken/beef/pork. Your weight will fall off.
check out the carnivore diet.. fat melts off you.. I am down 79 pounds in just 7 months.. never hungry, no cravings.. no inflammation in my joints.. you will never regret it.. 63 here
I’m 64 and very overweight. When I was in my early thirties I lost over 100 pounds. Now I’m doing everything you suggested and after 4 months I’ve lost 2 pounds. In my experience weight never “falls off”. It’s the result of very hard work. Please be careful of the advice and commentary you offer others.
@@lisaschoenwetter5495 If you really want to lose weight.. try the carnivore diet.. I am on it just over 7 months and I am down 80 pounds.. never hungry, no cravings and you can eat as much as you want. As long as it is an animal product.. I have done no exercise at all but I am active in my work.. 63 soon to be 64.
Melissa, you have absolutely changed the way I see myself in my clothes, the things I should purchase and what I shouldn't. You will never know how much your videos are appreciated. I am so glad that you invest your time. ❤
Theresa - Thank you for doing this style session. I've lost 4 stones myself and despite exercise, still have the apron tummy. (It will diminish eventually) I'm blonde and with a full bust too. MM did a wonderful job on hair, make up and styling. I'm in love with several items you modeled. (Black & white print & zebra print dresses especially). THANK YOU ALL for this episode!
This video was perfect for me. I now have a menopausal apron belly. While I have been working out again hoping to tighten it up a bit, I have been having a hard time finding ways to look nice and not feel so insecure. Thank you for all of the great tips and tricks. 😃
Can you really reduce this area as you age, I lost weight but the skin never improved. So now it just hangs, I’m too old to be bothered with plastic surgery.
Unfortunately, you can’t exercise away the loose skin. There are various regimens that may help improve skin elasticity but they can only go far, plus everybody (and every body) responds differently. Age and genetics pretty much determine your experience. Surgery is the only sure fire way of getting rid of an apron stomach from excess skin.
That zebra dress! That white cover up! That hat! The business presentation outfit! The navy jumpsuit! The slimmer leg! What a beauty and Theresa is discovering a whole new world of fashion. These videos are so helpful. Melissa, you have changed how I shop. What I consider. I see so many fashions that I love, but to be honest, not every new style suits my body... Do they fit? Yes. But are they my best option? Sometimes not. I'm learning what to say no to and find a better alternative. Thanks for your channel!
@@mmpersonalstyling Just yesterday I was shopping in a very popular off-price store, TJ Maxx, and I saw a women in the fitting room who wasn't sure she looked good in a black jumpsuit... Well, I was a little stylist and told her all the reasons why the top balanced the bottom and how it really accented her small waist. She decided to buy it. We ended up at the checkout together and I was telling her about you! And she pulled out her phone and typed in your website. Maybe one day we will both see her online here!
She looks so gorgeous! Your styling makes such a difference even though she is already beautiful. I need to know how to loose that much weight. She looks radiant and healthy. Hope she enjoys her trip here to the US. I love the way you dress in the UK. I'm tempted to move so I can feel more comfortable dressing. We dress way too casual here in the states at times. I miss looking dressed and polished, although I tend to be the most "dressed up" person everywhere I go here.
Love loved the blue Jean dress on her! Very flattering. I think replacing the white shoes with natural skin color would also look really nice, making legs appear longer. Great looks ! Beautiful
I love watching your channel!! I can tell you're in this because it's your passion to show women how great they can look without exploitng the process. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and being so kind in the process. You're a gem!! 👏👏👍
This woman is beautiful!! Congratulations to her on the weight loss and your choices of clothing for her was spot on and you have provided such a wealth of styling information for all of us!! Thank you so very much!! There was not one outfit that I didn't like on her...that hot pink color was so very good for her and she should never be afraid to wear shorts! Her legs are beautiful!
What a beautiful model. This is my favorite style session. I love every outfit and she looks amazing in all of them. Kudos to her for her massive weight loss.
Thank you so much for this helpful video. I’m in the middle of my weight loss journey, having lost five stone, and my tummy apron has suddenly appeared! I was looking in the mirror today, not knowing how to show that I’ve actually lost weight and not covering myself up in a long shirt! Therese looked beautiful in her outfits, which were versatile and gorgeous! Take care everyone, Laura ❤
Well done on your journey so far. As you can see from Theresa there’s absolutely no reason why you should have to cover up. Embrace your new shape and I guarantee that you’ll look smaller when you do so. Good luck with it all xx
Thank you so much for mentioning Grey hair. I tend to gather blue undertones in the form of fuschia to several shades of purple that look good on me but definitely don’t do anything for my 72 year old body. Your videos are the best thing I have seen and I don’t think I will hesitate to buy more expensive pieces that will flatter my body type. I think I can go ahead and de clutter my closet with ill fitting items. Thank you
I totally understand her frustration. After a significant weight loss, people sometimes get that apron belly, which I’m sure would make the person think that they didn’t lose as much weight as they thought. You did a FABULOUS job with disguising that “feature” with only clothing and no compression shapewear - I’m impressed!
I Can't stress on how much I'm amazed by you and your experience!!!! I have never seen someone showing such details for all shapes and forms in a beautiful manners. so kind and giving as well!! really thank you thank you thank you for sharing all of your videos. lots of love and peace your way from Saudi Arabia.🇸🇦
I don’t know why this came up on my feed but I’m glad it did. I have thankfully always dressed in the way she suggests having both a stomach apron AND a very large bust. I learned to do exactly what she does - where clothes that fit and try not to go larger on top to cover up my bust. I have to wear fitted tops and then a looser jacket or sweater (jumper) over it. Makes a huge difference. I forgot to mention how much I enjoyed this video. Melissa is very professional and very kind.
She is a pretty lady anyway and you styled her beautifully. The jumpsuits looked great but I wouldn’t like to have to undress so much every time I have to use the lavatory. That slip skirt I would have never imagined would be flattering to an apple shape but that looked great on her, possibly my favorite of all. You really know what your doing. Most of those things seemed counterintuitive but were really flattering.
This video of Theresa is still one of my favorites. I loved her authenticity, bravery,. What a gift to have you, Melissa, style her after reaching her health goals. I am hopeful Theresa can visit again sometime soon. She has an amazing figure and style. Cheering loudly for you, Theresa!
The mental picture is so powerful. Even after maintaining a lower weight for 5 years I still picked up 6 large black skirts (different styles) to try on, then tried on 6 more skirts in medium - before I fully understood that I was no longer a large😅
Theresa looked absolutely beautiful in all the outfits except I agreed with her on the pink. I felt the skirt was too straight for her. But everything else was spot on! Hope she enjoys her US trip! 🤓🇨🇦
Thanks Melissa and team for all the wonderful videos you put out. This is not my body type or age but I still find this useful. I keep thinking of my mum and how I can use your advice to buy her nicer presents. A lot of the principles are also universal so I love that about your videos. Also, I have noticed that recently you have been making more emphasis on options for people in warmer climates. Thank you for considering us!!! 😍
You are so welcome! We’re heading into summer here so I can do more of that but at other times of the year we simply don’t have the clothes in the stores in order to do that! X
I loved all the outfit choices you presented to her! Every single one was so complimentary to her shape. Further, I love how you have encouraged women to not try and hide themselves in baggy clothes. Oversized clothing oftentimes make us look so much bigger than we actually are. Thank you for such a lovely and positive video!
Didn't notice her stomach once after you styled her, well done! It's not my body type but still really interesting to see how small changes can make such a big difference.
What a confidence builder for you, Theresa! You look fabulous! I also want to thank you for your business venture. I am 73 and when I went through menopause no one talked about it so I had no clue what was going on! I honestly thought I was going insane! Thank you from all the women out there that will benefit from your makeover AND your business! Bess you!
Great video again, Melissa, thank you! I love these live styling sessions, it helps me realize and appreciate the effect of the smallest changes in outfit. I always look forward to your videos, it is a relaxing and learning time for myself at the same time😊 P.s. your make up today is beatiful!❤
@@serenity8876 thank you - it’s more about getting to a healthier weight for my height. I was in a bad accident years ago that left me with permanent mobility issues that contributed to my weight gain. It’s been more about changing my lifestyle and finding ways to be more active that work for me, as well as being more focussed on eating less processed foods. Small changes have resulted in gradual weight loss and increased health and fitness. I just wish I’d had the courage to make these changes a lot sooner.
New viewer. Hadn't heard about the ankle tip. Really makes a difference. You've inspired me to clean out all the I'll fitting clothes in my closet. You have a great team. Kudos to Theresa on her weight loss. She is lovely.
I have the apron belly AND large bust 😥 so I'm paying close attention to the tips and tricks - thank you!! One thing for me is that I think I look great head-on in the mirror, but as soon as I turn sideways I look gigantic.
I'm sure you don't and people tend to look at you straight on when they're talking to you. If you ever feel conscious though just wear a longer layer and this will hide it from the side view x
Fabulous!!!! I love how you explain the logic behind the choices to me that is so fascinating! I too have recently lost a lot of weight, 100 pounds! And I totally understand how her mind can get stuck in her old size. It’s a constant reset process.!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I’m new to your channel and this video has been so informative and helpful for my body shape. I’m in my early 70’s and need re-styling Now I’m going to binge watch all the others you have posted. ❤❤
What a fabulous video. I think I often buy sizes that are too big , simply for the same reason. I managed to lose nearly 3 stone during lockdown, but it is still taking time for my brain to re adjust 😩. This video really opened my eyes. Thank you Melissa 🙏🏽✨
OMG you made your client look sophisticated and feeling very comfortable and confident. Just love your personality and true passion for what you do. Thank you very much and looking forward to next weeks video 😊 Btw I bought the cream jacket just waiting on it now but I got the large and now maybe thinking I should have gotten the medium. Well see!
Thank you! I needed to change my own perceptions on hiding this area. With a larger chest, I have always tried to do the opposite here and take attention from my top. Bringing attention to my shoulders does work, as yesterday I threw on a navy crewneck cashmere sweater with a light gray colorblock at the shoulders. Wow!! It brought my eye straight up and away from my belly and my bust as my jeans were dark as well. Thank you so much. In a time where every stylist seems to be fans of Kibbe, this just makes more sense and visually you can see the changes that are just woderful. P.S. I loved hearing the birds.
What a beautiful fit for this lady. Fantastic! I am in my 50’s and have the same shape…I have used some of these tricks before and also picked up new tips. Thank you!
This has been an amazing masterclass, and I loved every fashion / look transition that you did for her! This video is so timely because I've been building a new capsule wardrobe, and I have a similar body type and concerns as your model. Sooo helpful, thank you!
Just found your channel. And I am so enjoying this. I too have battled with weight up and down up and down. I lost 30 pounds and now I found them again unfortunately. So I just have to get my act together and try to fit back into the clothes I bought when I lost weight. I love your styling tips and I will try them on my 71 year old body. That is a current picture of me in my profile picture.
1. This model is GORGEOUS. I’m 33 and love her look and saw her confidence grow. We have very similar tummies. 24:15 - WOW!! She is stunning! 2. This is the best video I’ve seen on this body type. Clothes actually look amazing, the styler is SO kind and particular - love it!!
Another brilliant styling session Melissa, Theresa looked fabulous in the animal & geo print dresses, what a makeover & better than the skirt IMO. The cream jacket another great look for her. Well done, a joy to watch and very inspirational for many people.
Love all the looks! As IVE HIT MY 50’s, my shape has changed. I have more of a belly where I as hourglass when younger. I’ve been wearing the tank longer, tied shirt higher. Now I know WHY it looks good!!❤
Oh my goodness. I just found your channel tonight and I am over the moon excited about it. I am in a very similar situation as Teresa. I also have just lost a lot of weight- 170 pounds. I have the apron front and am probably almost exactly her size now. This video helped me so much on what I am doing Right, and what I am doing Wrong. I can see now why some of my favorite outfits are my favorites. They followed the rules you talked about. I need to do better at not trying to hide my body, particularly by stomach, but everywhere really. Especially the top layer being shorter. But, man am I going to try, because Teresa looked FANTASTIC in every outfit. The dresses where some of my favorites. But literally everything made her look like a million bucks. Congratulations on the weight loss Teresa. It is not an easy feat. But you look Beautiful. Thanks again for the super enlightening video. It will a keeper for rewatching for sure. Have a fantastic day!
Well done yourself on your weight loss journey too. Really pleased to hear it’s helped you. I’ve just filmed body shape master class 16 so that will be out soon x
That was a terrific video. You explain things so clearly, and I love how you really get to know your client to style her in a way that she is so comfortable in your choices. Great job! I appreciate all the links as well.
Hi Melissa & Teresa, thank you for sharing this journey and make over with us. Teresa, I commend you for your strength and tenacity. Melissa, you are an amazing inspiration and educator. I am in Canada and depend on your your TH-cam and Instagram posts to keep me in touch with my British roots of dress etiquette. Thank you.
Perfection! Having 3 babies in 3 years and then losing 120 lbs in my 50’s I have the dreaded “apron”. While most is skin it adds inches to my pant size. Great tips especially since my 45th class reunion is in 6 weeks and I have no time for plastic surgery……LOL
A brilliant video and SO helpful. Theresa looked amazing in everything. I am very conscious of my apron tummy especially as I have short stumpy legs. No more smock type tunics for me!
MM Styling team - You knocked it out of the park! Your client looked fabulous in absolutely everything. I hope she gained more confidence after her session with you!
Wow. She looked great after hair and makeup, but looked absolutely wonderful in the outfits. Really interesting. Not my shape but fascinating to see how it all worked. I’ve got two pairs of those denim joggers. I absolutely love them and can even do yoga in them.
One of the most helpful videos I’ve seen in a long time. Thank you so much for all the tips - I truly feel like I learned so much and can’t wait to implement into my wardrobe.
Just discovered you this evening on You Tube! This video was fantastic and I appreciate Theresa for allowing us to follow along as she experienced your styling genius. Melissa, you and your crew are an awesome group of women, knowledgeable, and so inviting. Theresa looked fabulous in your recommendations! I’m anxious to see more of your videos and tips!!! PS- following from NW Florida panhandle, US aka the Emerald Coast of Florida.
Another fabulous makeover Melissa and Theresa looked amazing. Gorgeous make up and hair then fabulous outfits 👏👏👏. I did agree with Theresa re the pink two piece.
You are so talented at styling body shapes! Thank you so much for sharing your tips and knowledge with your subscribers. I'm a pear shape and have learned so much from you. Really enjoyed the last video you did with five different women. It was amazing to see what works for each type. Please do some more of these videos. Thank you!
This come so handy for me, im a pear shaped size 18-20 and now i also have an apron stomach that i didnt use to have, and i dont know how to dress for that, so thank you 😊 Regards from México
Theresa looked amazing. I loved the way you added the pop of colour through out. I had a fab styling session with Clare recently ( my bank balance isn't so keen!). I am working through the tips I gained and I am going on a big trip to. Everything i have brought is versatile but feels more neutral than i am used to. Such a shame the jumpsuit is sold out to.
It sales time! I looked at John lewis for the jumpsuit and all the recommended items it suggested were bits from the moomsift board. Where Theresa had the jumper over her shoulders, would you put it over the pink shirt or take the pink shirt off first? Also does Hannah have a particular set of straighteners she recommends? I am looking for a new pair.
Just love your new venture idea Theresa. I can’t believe how the shoulder pads made your shoulders / arms go from fine to great. This was such a brilliant video,I learnt so much. Thank you both.
Beautiful styling and beautiful model. I love all the looks 😍 I also love hearing the sounds of nature, beautiful birds singing in the background. I hope you enjoy your vacation Teresa, safe travels. Greetings from Texas!!
Thanks so much for this wonderful styling video! I learned so much and really appreciate the color choice advice. Your team is the best! Love from Idaho xo
I stumbled upon this video this morning and it has been life changing. I have the same issues as this woman and this has given me a boost of confidence. Amazingly, the one bit of info that's had the biggest impact is the addition of the Velcro shoulder pads. I used to wear them back in the "old days" but when the fashion gurus railed against them I stopped. But for my body they make a world of difference in balancing out the top half. Thank you for letting me realize it's perfectly fine to wear them again. I'm not typically so easily swayed one way or the other when it comes to fashion but the whole shoulder pad debate did me in 🥴
Really pleased you found it useful. There’s 30 more body shape masterclasses on here, many of which focus on similar body types sp hopefully you’ll enjoy those too x
@@mmpersonalstyling I'm watching them all now, thanks! And I've shared your channel with friends who are dealing with the same challenges. You are a gem!
I absolutely love these videos. So remarkably helpful and “real.” I hope this lady today knows how genuinely attractive she looks. We have a similar shape and so this was personally a game changer for me. Thanks to all concerned!!
This video with Theresa and the video with Antonia were just what I needed! I have an apron tummy like Theresa, am a US size 12-14, but short like Antonia. Best video ever. Theresa looks fabulous in this video!
This episode was sooooo helpful! I am a US 22 and heavier than I have ever been with an apron. I have been having difficulty with which pants look good on my body and you made it very clear as to what works.
Hi Melissa I not only live your styling but your fun personality. You did your amazing styling on Theresa and you can tell she is transformed. I always see myself as larger than I am. I used to automatically go for an X-Large. Now , I go to the large and sometimes medium. I think because my sis and I are busty, we tended to buy larger, but as you know then shirts hang from the biggest part and create a tent effect. You have taught me soooo much sweet Melissa…You are a gift to those you style and for us at home who may just have to take your advice and learn from your great videos. ❤❤❤
I’m only 31 and I’ve struggled to dress myself since I had my first child at 28. I went from a 0 to a 10 and I have a mother’s apron from having the kids. I’m so appreciative to have found your video. Because even as I work out to lose weight I want to start dressing well again like I did before children, but this body shape is so drastically different I really didn’t know how. Thank you!

I really hope this session has changed her mindset permanently. She looked fabulous in everything.
I know she was very grateful indeed so i hope so too. x
So great
I didn't like the pink skirt, I thought it looked fattening. The next outfit looked great.
Never had a problem with menopause. Feel for others.
❤
You speak for me too!
Oh. My. Goodness. I think this might have been my most favorite body shape class you've done. She looks absolutely stunning in everything!
Wow, thank you!
I agree! A lot of us who have gained and lost weight and had babies, have this type body shape. Finally someone addresses it and shows it on someone with that body shape and not a super skinny girl.
I thought all the outfits were stunning. I could see myself in some.
I was just about to write the same thing. Absolutely beautiful.
Right?! Wish I say this video 20 yrs ago. Figured out most of it myself over time but not without buying 3 million wrong pieces! I'm looking for suggested buys though. She and I are the exact same shape. Love the outfits!
She is so so nice to her clients. Such warmth and understanding ❤
Thank you 🙏
I can’t help but smile the whole time because her positivity is infectious.

That zebra dress was stunning , she looked very stylish and polished in all her outfits,bravo!
Excellent advice - I’m a 14 with a large tummy and often feel miserable about it. This has really helped.
Great to hear!
I have the exact body type as Theresa and so rarely see this type profiled so THANK YOU. Theresa looks amazing in all the outfits!!
You're so welcome!
I so agree!
What's with this horrible apron, I don't want it !
How is everyone hiding it? I can't be the only one?? Feels like it though 😞

I dont see how using obnoxious descriptions like "apron stomach" is kind.
I don’t know why this came up on my feed but I’m glad it did. I have thankfully always dressed in the way she suggests having both a stomach apron AND a very large bust. I learned to do exactly what she does - where clothes that fit and try not to go larger on top to cover up my bust. I have to wear fitted tops and then a looser jacket or sweater (jumper) over it. Makes a huge difference. I forgot to mention how much I enjoyed this video. Melissa is very professional and very kind.
That’s nice of you to say, thank you x
She is a pretty lady anyway and you styled her beautifully. The jumpsuits looked great but I wouldn’t like to have to undress so much every time I have to use the lavatory. That slip skirt I would have never imagined would be flattering to an apple shape but that looked great on her, possibly my favorite of all. You really know what your doing. Most of those things seemed counterintuitive but were really flattering.
Thank you! That’s why I like to ‘show’ people rather than just ‘tell’ people as you’re very right, most of it goes against what you might think.
This video of Theresa is still one of my favorites. I loved her authenticity, bravery,. What a gift to have you, Melissa, style her after reaching her health goals. I am hopeful Theresa can visit again sometime soon. She has an amazing figure and style. Cheering loudly for you, Theresa!
This was my favourite episode so far. Theresa looked fantastic.
I am so impressed w your work-Im 73, never knew I am an apple! Your tips are invaluable! Thank you!
You are so welcome!
The mental picture is so powerful. Even after maintaining a lower weight for 5 years I still picked up 6 large black skirts (different styles) to try on, then tried on 6 more skirts in medium - before I fully understood that I was no longer a large😅
Theresa looked absolutely beautiful in all the outfits except I agreed with her on the pink. I felt the skirt was too straight for her. But everything else was spot on! Hope she enjoys her US trip! 🤓🇨🇦
Thanks Melissa and team for all the wonderful videos you put out. This is not my body type or age but I still find this useful. I keep thinking of my mum and how I can use your advice to buy her nicer presents. A lot of the principles are also universal so I love that about your videos.
Also, I have noticed that recently you have been making more emphasis on options for people in warmer climates. Thank you for considering us!!! 😍
You are so welcome! We’re heading into summer here so I can do more of that but at other times of the year we simply don’t have the clothes in the stores in order to do that! X
I loved all the outfit choices you presented to her! Every single one was so complimentary to her shape. Further, I love how you have encouraged women to not try and hide themselves in baggy clothes. Oversized clothing oftentimes make us look so much bigger than we actually are. Thank you for such a lovely and positive video!
Thank you so much!
Didn't notice her stomach once after you styled her, well done! It's not my body type but still really interesting to see how small changes can make such a big difference.
What a confidence builder for you, Theresa! You look fabulous! I also want to thank you for your business venture. I am 73 and when I went through menopause no one talked about it so I had no clue what was going on! I honestly thought I was going insane! Thank you from all the women out there that will benefit from your makeover AND your business! Bess you!
You are so welcome!
Great video again, Melissa, thank you! I love these live styling sessions, it helps me realize and appreciate the effect of the smallest changes in outfit. I always look forward to your videos, it is a relaxing and learning time for myself at the same time😊
P.s. your make up today is beatiful!❤
Ahh, thank you so much Martina. My makeup was done by Hannah - she's available to book and she'll teach you how to do your own makeup!
Theresa looks stunning!! You did an amazing job on her. And I really love her professional choice as well. Super video 👏🏻👏🏻
Stunning - I’m in the process of losing weight, I’ve gone from an Aus 26 to a 20, hoping to get to a 14. You’ve inspired me so much 🥰
Best of luck!
Just be beautiful at a 20! We don't have to be a size. 💘😻
@@serenity8876 thank you - it’s more about getting to a healthier weight for my height. I was in a bad accident years ago that left me with permanent mobility issues that contributed to my weight gain. It’s been more about changing my lifestyle and finding ways to be more active that work for me, as well as being more focussed on eating less processed foods. Small changes have resulted in gradual weight loss and increased health and fitness. I just wish I’d had the courage to make these changes a lot sooner.
Such a gentle lady! I love her steady, quiet spirit, and she looks beautiful.
Shoulder pads are a must in every outfit. Reglan sleeves are hideous and make everyone looks huge.
Awesome video ❤
So true!
New viewer. Hadn't heard about the ankle tip. Really makes a difference. You've inspired me to clean out all the I'll fitting clothes in my closet. You have a great team. Kudos to Theresa on her weight loss. She is lovely.
Hello and welcome! Thank you for watching x
I have the apron belly AND large bust 😥 so I'm paying close attention to the tips and tricks - thank you!! One thing for me is that I think I look great head-on in the mirror, but as soon as I turn sideways I look gigantic.
I'm sure you don't and people tend to look at you straight on when they're talking to you. If you ever feel conscious though just wear a longer layer and this will hide it from the side view x
Omg 😳 I feel the same way
I know exactly how she feels as that happens to me too☹️. Should we ignore that sideways “look”?
I hear you!
Totally relate to this comment. I'll be ready to leave the house, see side view of myself and have to get changed.
Fabulous!!!! I love how you explain the logic behind the choices to me that is so fascinating! I too have recently lost a lot of weight, 100 pounds! And I totally understand how her mind can get stuck in her old size. It’s a constant reset process.!!
Wow, well done to you too. I hope this video has helped you x
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I’m new to your channel and this video has been so informative and helpful for my body shape. I’m in my early 70’s and need re-styling Now I’m going to binge watch all the others you have posted. ❤❤
Welcome!! Hope you don't get too bored of us!!! x
What a fabulous video. I think I often buy sizes that are too big , simply for the same reason. I managed to lose nearly 3 stone during lockdown, but it is still taking time for my brain to re adjust 😩. This video really opened my eyes. Thank you Melissa 🙏🏽✨
Oh wow, most people put it on, not lost it, well done! Thanks for watching x
OMG you made your client look sophisticated and feeling very comfortable and confident. Just love your personality and true passion for what you do. Thank you very much and looking forward to next weeks video 😊 Btw I bought the cream jacket just waiting on it now but I got the large and now maybe thinking I should have gotten the medium. Well see!
Hope you love it!
Thank you! I needed to change my own perceptions on hiding this area. With a larger chest, I have always tried to do the opposite here and take attention from my top. Bringing attention to my shoulders does work, as yesterday I threw on a navy crewneck cashmere sweater with a light gray colorblock at the shoulders. Wow!! It brought my eye straight up and away from my belly and my bust as my jeans were dark as well. Thank you so much. In a time where every stylist seems to be fans of Kibbe, this just makes more sense and visually you can see the changes that are just woderful. P.S. I loved hearing the birds.
Glad it worked for you xx 😘
Fantastic advice from Melissa as usual. Theresa looks beautiful in everything. Well done to her on her weight loss❤
What a beautiful fit for this lady. Fantastic! I am in my 50’s and have the same shape…I have used some of these tricks before and also picked up new tips. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
This has been an amazing masterclass, and I loved every fashion / look transition that you did for her! This video is so timely because I've been building a new capsule wardrobe, and I have a similar body type and concerns as your model. Sooo helpful, thank you!
So glad to hear that, thank you for sharing x
Just found your channel. And I am so enjoying this. I too have battled with weight up and down up and down. I lost 30 pounds and now I found them again unfortunately. So I just have to get my act together and try to fit back into the clothes I bought when I lost weight. I love your styling tips and I will try them on my 71 year old body. That is a current picture of me in my profile picture.
That is the coolest thing I love the shoulder pads with the Velcro. I’ve got to order me some. Thank you so much.
1. This model is GORGEOUS. I’m 33 and love her look and saw her confidence grow. We have very similar tummies. 24:15 - WOW!! She is stunning!
2. This is the best video I’ve seen on this body type. Clothes actually look amazing, the styler is SO kind and particular - love it!!
I loved all the pieces. She looks absolutely gorgeous. Great job Mellesia❤
Absolutely! Thank you!!! Thank you BOTH for helping us realize we are not as large we we THINK we are!!!
Our pleasure!
Another brilliant styling session Melissa, Theresa looked fabulous in the animal & geo print dresses, what a makeover & better than the skirt IMO. The cream jacket another great look for her. Well done, a joy to watch and very inspirational for many people.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love all the looks! As IVE HIT MY 50’s, my shape has changed. I have more of a belly where I as hourglass when younger. I’ve been wearing the tank longer, tied shirt higher. Now I know WHY it looks good!!❤
Thanks for sharing. I especially like the first look for traveling.
Thanks for watching!
Oh my goodness. I just found your channel tonight and I am over the moon excited about it. I am in a very similar situation as Teresa. I also have just lost a lot of weight- 170 pounds. I have the apron front and am probably almost exactly her size now. This video helped me so much on what I am doing Right, and what I am doing Wrong. I can see now why some of my favorite outfits are my favorites. They followed the rules you talked about. I need to do better at not trying to hide my body, particularly by stomach, but everywhere really. Especially the top layer being shorter. But, man am I going to try, because Teresa looked FANTASTIC in every outfit. The dresses where some of my favorites. But literally everything made her look like a million bucks. Congratulations on the weight loss Teresa. It is not an easy feat. But you look Beautiful. Thanks again for the super enlightening video. It will a keeper for rewatching for sure. Have a fantastic day!
Well done yourself on your weight loss journey too. Really pleased to hear it’s helped you. I’ve just filmed body shape master class 16 so that will be out soon x
That was a terrific video. You explain things so clearly, and I love how you really get to know your client to style her in a way that she is so comfortable in your choices. Great job! I appreciate all the links as well.
Thank you so much!
Everything you did was so great but the navy of the jumper made her eyes look so beautiful and dramatic!
Hi Melissa & Teresa, thank you for sharing this journey and make over with us. Teresa, I commend you for your strength and tenacity. Melissa, you are an amazing inspiration and educator. I am in Canada and depend on your your TH-cam and Instagram posts to keep me in touch with my British roots of dress etiquette. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
How good does this lady look in all your suggestions. The biggest thing is the sizing wow wonderful!
She looks beautiful in all outfits.
Amazing work Melissa, your methodology always on point
Glad you think so, thank you so much x
She looked fantastic in the blu dress!! oMG the animal print dress looks fantastic too! She should live in dresses!!
Incredible styling Melissa! I’m sure your model has gained tons of confidence from this! Fabulous as always! Thank you 😘🥰😎
Yes, I think she has. Thank you!
Perfection! Having 3 babies in 3 years and then losing 120 lbs in my 50’s I have the dreaded “apron”. While most is skin it adds inches to my pant size. Great tips especially since my 45th class reunion is in 6 weeks and I have no time for plastic surgery……LOL
You got this! I hope you have a fabulous time x
A brilliant video and SO helpful. Theresa looked amazing in everything. I am very conscious of my apron tummy especially as I have short stumpy legs. No more smock type tunics for me!
MM Styling team - You knocked it out of the park! Your client looked fabulous in absolutely everything. I hope she gained more confidence after her session with you!
She did, thank you x
Wow. She looked great after hair and makeup, but looked absolutely wonderful in the outfits. Really interesting. Not my shape but fascinating to see how it all worked. I’ve got two pairs of those denim joggers. I absolutely love them and can even do yoga in them.
Oh my goodness! What a gorgeous wardrobe. And Theresa is absolutely gorgeous
One of the most helpful videos I’ve seen in a long time. Thank you so much for all the tips - I truly feel like I learned so much and can’t wait to implement into my wardrobe.
Glad it was helpful!
Just discovered you this evening on You Tube! This video was fantastic and I appreciate Theresa for allowing us to follow along as she experienced your styling genius. Melissa, you and your crew are an awesome group of women, knowledgeable, and so inviting. Theresa looked fabulous in your recommendations! I’m anxious to see more of your videos and tips!!!
PS- following from NW Florida panhandle, US aka the Emerald Coast of Florida.
Hello and welcome! Thank you for your kind comments....i'm coming to Florida in the summer!
Another fabulous makeover Melissa and Theresa looked amazing. Gorgeous make up and hair then fabulous outfits 👏👏👏. I did agree with Theresa re the pink two piece.
You are so talented at styling body shapes! Thank you so much for sharing your tips and knowledge with your subscribers. I'm a pear shape and have learned so much from you. Really enjoyed the last video you did with five different women. It was amazing to see what works for each type. Please do some more of these videos. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
The zebra dress and the denim blue dress are my favourites. Great lesson, fantastic styling. THANKYOU!
You are so welcome!
This come so handy for me, im a pear shaped size 18-20 and now i also have an apron stomach that i didnt use to have, and i dont know how to dress for that, so thank you 😊 Regards from México
I hope you find it useful. x
She looks so powerful, on the 3rd look, with the white blazer. Such a winner!
Theresa looked amazing. I loved the way you added the pop of colour through out. I had a fab styling session with Clare recently ( my bank balance isn't so keen!). I am working through the tips I gained and I am going on a big trip to. Everything i have brought is versatile but feels more neutral than i am used to. Such a shame the jumpsuit is sold out to.
Glad you enjoyed your session with Clare. Everything is selling out so quickly but we’ve put lots of alternatives on the board too x
It sales time! I looked at John lewis for the jumpsuit and all the recommended items it suggested were bits from the moomsift board. Where Theresa had the jumper over her shoulders, would you put it over the pink shirt or take the pink shirt off first? Also does Hannah have a particular set of straighteners she recommends? I am looking for a new pair.
Just love your new venture idea Theresa. I can’t believe how the shoulder pads made your shoulders / arms go from fine to great. This was such a brilliant video,I learnt so much. Thank you both.
😊 thank you
Teresa looked amazing in all the outfits - yet another brilliant video ❤ I really liked the denim dress but didn’t see the link for it x
It’s sold out already that’s why we’ve put some alternatives on the board x
So happy for you and your incredible weight loss. You looked beautiful in everything!
🌸💖💗🎉
Thank you Theresa for helping people like me with a similar body to dress better and see how to do it!
Beautiful styling and beautiful model. I love all the looks 😍 I also love hearing the sounds of nature, beautiful birds singing in the background. I hope you enjoy your vacation Teresa, safe travels. Greetings from Texas!!
You are so kind, thank you. x
Thanks so much for this wonderful styling video! I learned so much and really appreciate the color choice advice. Your team is the best! Love from Idaho xo
Hello in Idaho (that still blows my mind that people are watching us all around the world!!). Glad it was helpful, thanks for watching x
I really appreciate that way you work with the person and what they like and can afford.
Theresa, I hope you feel as beautiful as us watching see you as … MM team fantastic video, thank you for sharing!
I know she went off on her holiday feeling fabulous!
I stumbled upon this video this morning and it has been life changing. I have the same issues as this woman and this has given me a boost of confidence. Amazingly, the one bit of info that's had the biggest impact is the addition of the Velcro shoulder pads. I used to wear them back in the "old days" but when the fashion gurus railed against them I stopped. But for my body they make a world of difference in balancing out the top half. Thank you for letting me realize it's perfectly fine to wear them again. I'm not typically so easily swayed one way or the other when it comes to fashion but the whole shoulder pad debate did me in 🥴
Really pleased you found it useful. There’s 30 more body shape masterclasses on here, many of which focus on similar body types sp hopefully you’ll enjoy those too x
@@mmpersonalstyling I'm watching them all now, thanks! And I've shared your channel with friends who are dealing with the same challenges. You are a gem!
She looks fabulous
Thank you so much - team effort!
Watching you today...your models, hints, suggestions get better and better
Oh thank you!
I absolutely love these videos. So remarkably helpful and “real.” I hope this lady today knows how genuinely attractive she looks. We have a similar shape and so this was personally a game changer for me. Thanks to all concerned!!
This video with Theresa and the video with Antonia were just what I needed! I have an apron tummy like Theresa, am a US size 12-14, but short like Antonia. Best video ever. Theresa looks fabulous in this video!
I bought this for my daughter who has very long hair. She absolutely loves it X
That's great! Glad she likes it x
Thank you so much for this video!! I’m very self conscious in the same areas, and loved seeing the changes Melissa’s styling made.
This episode was sooooo helpful! I am a US 22 and heavier than I have ever been with an apron. I have been having difficulty with which pants look good on my body and you made it very clear as to what works.
Glad it was helpful!
OMG where have you been hiding?....finally someone who styles practically rather than insanely (you know what I mean)
Thank you!!!
Hi Melissa I not only live your styling but your fun personality. You did your amazing styling on Theresa and you can tell she is transformed. I always see myself as larger than I am. I used to automatically go for an X-Large. Now , I go to the large and sometimes medium. I think because my sis and I are busty, we tended to buy larger, but as you know then shirts hang from the biggest part and create a tent effect. You have taught me soooo much sweet Melissa…You are a gift to those you style and for us at home who may just have to take your advice and learn from your great videos. ❤❤❤
Thank you Rita, really pleased it’s helping you x
She looks great! What a wonderful stylist! I hope she had a great vacation😊
Such a helpful video. I’ve had this issue after weight loss for over forty years. This has helped me tremendously. Thank you very much!
You are so welcome!
I’m only 31 and I’ve struggled to dress myself since I had my first child at 28. I went from a 0 to a 10 and I have a mother’s apron from having the kids.
I’m so appreciative to have found your video. Because even as I work out to lose weight I want to start dressing well again like I did before children, but this body shape is so drastically different I really didn’t know how.
Thank you!
You’re very welcome. This Sundays video is with Maddy, she’s 30 years old so hopefully you’ll get some inspiration from that one too xx
You did an absolutely amazing job with the way you styled her. She looks fabulous in everything. I’ve learned so much. Thank you!
Thank you so much!
