    This is the first time I recall seeing tunic tops recommended for plus-sized petites, with the guidance about length. It’s startling how much of a difference a few inches can make! And the ‘warning’ about peplums, which generally get a thumbs up from other videos. Very interesting and effective advice here!

In a world where every other UA-cam, "influencer" are trying to sell you something, or get a "small commission" The only one that I would love to shop at is the one that does not link items. LOL

      . Dare not bleach my hair anymore as my hair is falling out tons every time I wash
      I dread to think how much I'd lose with bleach.

      I’m 71. I made up my mind that I would not confine my clothing colors to black, grey, navy and burgundy. I wear bold color combinations like peacock and raspberry. Weather permitting I wear skirts and dresses. A black pencil skirt with bold print or silk blouse, a pair of low heel pumps (never ballet flats) and statement jewelry garner me compliments each time I run errands. I learned how to apply false eyelashes in brown instead of black and I wear cherry red lipstick. I refuse to be frumpy.

Now I know that it is the length. Good thing I'm handy with a sewing machine! Usually I am just shortening the pants. My latest find is that capri pants usually fit just right as long pants for me. Unfortunately, around here, those are only sold in the summertime.

    The models look quite tall. Can you tell me their heights, if you know? I am 5'3, 160 lbs and many of them have my shape but look so much taller. thank you

    You seem to have confused peplum with empire waist style. A peplum is a flared segment that starts at the natural waist or a bit lower, it’s usually around 6-8 inches that falls over the hips. The photos are showing empire waists that are just below the bust and flowing out from there. Also, I note that the length of the tops you say are ending at the waist are actually ending just below the hip and actually covering the crotch of the pants. The waist, even on those of us with an apple shape, is far above that. There are some good ideas here, but the conflicting ideas between the narration and the photos just causes more confusion.

      I agree! For example, at 5:58, she's talking about waist-length tops, but the example she's showing is low hip, an entirely different thing!

    I find that as a plus size woman, some peplum tops are flattering to me as I am an hour glass with a flat tummy…a longer peplum is too much for my hips.

    But the pouch is still very prominent. Love the outfits but I prefer to cover the pouch

      I have the same issue. I found that waterfall type skirts and dressy, crew neck type blouses work very well for me. If you have nice arms, the high neck halter blouses also look pretty good with plain pants. In blouses, I have to buy a 14 and have them tailored to take in the extra fabric around the waist. If you sew, it won’t be expensive. I don’t, and only can afford a couple of blouses. Hope this helps. It’s so frustrating.

    Pencil skirts may look better, but they're like high heels, really uncomfortable to wear.

    I really like the dark color skirts shown on the models but NOT the white skirts at all! Not slimming color to wear be it a skirt or pants.

    I have found these videos to be very helpful. But I don’t feel comfortable tucking in shirts. I know that’s supposed to give you a more defining shape. But I hate the way I look from the side. I wish there was someone on UA-cam that would also focus on the side view. I have no confidence in how I look from the side, and videos like that would help tremendously. It’s always about the front view.

      Great idea....have you found a video that does side views yet ?

    • @lealeclerc920

      Not yet, but I won’t give up. People don’t see us just from the front, or the back.
      Focusing on the side view as much as the front view would be extremely helpful and very realistic. We are not one dimensional Bodies.

    A fake line of buttons on a skirt: great! Real buttons? No-either they gape open or rip right off when we with thick thighs sit down!
