I love the way this lady tells it like it is does not apologize for saying it but carries on just getting to the point.Also she is so so polite,uses gentle kind words when talking about FAT ,shes very kind and extremely helpful.
I watched the whole video and did not jump to the end.
Knowing other body types helps.
Especially if your measurements suggest a rectangle but you have small shoulders.
Now I realise at the end, I am not rectangle.
Love these videos.
I haven't felt included in a "dress your body type" in a long time. Thank you for not using only pictures of super thin models.
Ok no
@@annsimpson1132 Ok no...about what?
L
@@annsimpson1132 that's very kind of you l feel encouraged with my ever struggle ng weight
Thank you for this! I just wasted a half hour on pinterest trying in vain to find some fashion tips and it was very frustrating sorting through all the click bait and ads etc. You get right to the point and these tips are very helpful.
Thanks so much Jennifer! 🙏 I am glad you enjoyed the post and I really appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment ❤️❤️❤️
I am 43 and I LOVE your content. I’ve been sending videos to my mom, who is 20 years older than me-which shows the range of ladies you are inspiring and helping. I’ve been told I was hourglass shaped (or apple when I gain) for 20 years. I learned today that I am a pear. I think I was told “hourglass” because I am large busted with evened out hips and a smaller waist, but no! I have a small frame and I am only 5’2. My shoulders are very narrow, and I am long waisted even though I am petite. You described me PERFECTLY when describing the pear. I always thought pear-shaped meant you were small busted (exclusively) with larger hips or larger hips and legs. I didn’t know it was about the shoulders. Even the diagram was spot on! Bless you for this!
THANK YOU for making a video that is inclusive to Plus Size women. Now I know what to look for when I shop. I always thought that sleeves made a difference but didn't understand how. U r so kind when u explain things also. I'm now looking forward to clothes shopping instead of dreading it. Love the other video u did as well about the capris, sandals & the bold blue print top that overpowered you. thanks again!
Timeline
Pear - 0 - 9.40 minutes
Apple - 9.43 - 15.35
Rectangle - 15.36 - 21.55
Thank you.
Thank you 👍🏻
So she did skip hourglass 😥
@@jessietijerina2121 I’ve gathered that a lot of ppl group an hour glass shape in with pear shaped but I’m an hour glass and I disagree with that grouping.
@@jessietijerina2121 *Hourglass is the perfect figure*
I never even thought about what kind of sleeves to wear, nor that they would make a difference
However, watching you give examples was eye opening
Love your attention to detail and positive suggestions
Let’s love our bodies and the clothes we put them in 💕
HappilyHealthFull Absolutely 💞💞💞
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment HappilyHealthFull! Have a great day 🌸
And I love how you emphasize our bodies are BEAUTIFUL. I love my body for all it does for me. 😗 Of course I want to look better, but I bless my body all the time for carrying me through my life. You rock!!!!!
Thanks for taking the time to comment Jay Rainstone! Have a great day 🌸
Pear shape here. I miss the shoulder pads of the 80’s! They always made me look more balanced. But just because you have a “pear shape” doesn’t mean you have a small waist. :( Menopause years just add a belly and flapping arms to the pear shape. :D I love watching these videos, but it’s always a little frustrating because the “models” are NOT in their 50’s and 60’s and they are still young without all the issues many of us older ladies have.
i dont mean to be off topic but does someone know of a trick to log back into an instagram account?
I stupidly forgot the login password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me.
Plus im not into ruffles or capes lol
I'm a pear shape and I have been doing illusion dressing for over 30 years. Outfits can either make or break you. Wonderful video.
Excellent video! Sleeve length is os overlooked and forgotten. Yet it plays such a massive role in how we look. The long sleeve is very common but is unflattering on most of us women. I think a sleeve that stops just at the elbow or slightly above or below is the most flattering on all women. When I wear a long sleeve, I will push it to just below my elbow, and it brings in the waist and takes the emphasis off the hips.
Thanks beautiful Ontrend50 Sandy Alderson! Have an amazing day ❤️
Hello Sandy
And now I know!!! I recently purchased the exact shrug you show in the video at the end because I realized my arms are gross when I wear sleeveless tops (my opinion, and the only one that actually matters) Everytime I wear the shrug people, some I know, some I've never met, comment on how thin I am. It always seems so odd to me. Now I understand why! Thank you!
I loved reading your comment Cathleen Baldwin Maggi! Thanks for letting me know ❤️
I'm 38 but this is very helpful information! Such a beautiful, graceful host too ❤
I am 42, but I watch you because your information is timeless! I want to dress for my body type and your videos are easy to follow with examples. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Love the idea of having more structure around the shoulder for pear shapes. This is really helpful.
Having a mirror helps! Your goal is to create balance. Just look in a full length mirror. U can fin one at Wallmart for $5!
I wish there was a store where women could shop by their body type.
Yes me too...Have a great day Cat Woman 🦋
What a cool idea!
I wish too🙂
Yasss!!! Me too!!!!
I agree!
Thanks for all your fabulous videos! I’m in my 70’s and belong to a support group of over 50s women who are religiously doing playlists of your exercise videos every day and checking in by text to report when we finish. Such fun and we love your supportive approach. This one followed automatically today. “I’m so excited! I’ve just got started!’ 👯♀️
Hello Glynis
Glynis Ellens is your support group open to new members?
Thank you for addressing apple shape! It's such a hard shape because I basically look like I'm 10 months pregnant with chicken legs. It's so difficult to find shirts that work for me.
Your absolutely right. My mom was the same way and she had normal shoulder width but she was very big busted with no butt and skinny legs she hated it. I had to laugh when you said chicken legs thats what she would say.
Same here! Boot cut jeans balance me out. Longer shirts that aren't too boxy or too loose or flowing work best for me. IMO, some of the suggestions here wd make me look huge. II have big shoulders nd slim hips. It's all about the cut of the particular item. V-necks, long necklaces and anything with diagonal detail/ wrap are my top picks. I love a 'mini' length jacket or coat, or a short jacket with a shirt tail under.
Thank you for this great video. Very helpful. I notice that sleeves are so long on tops. I generally go towards the 3/4 length sleeve, which is much more comfortable. I love the way you pointed out how sleeves can make a difference.
Hi Rosann Supino! I'm happy you enjoyed the video...Have an amazing day 🤗
Pear shape here!! Thank you for the great tips. Going to definitely remember NOT to dress square! Also not hide my poor waist, it's been so underrated. 😄
Thanks for watching City of Charles Dirt! Celebrate that waist! Have a fabulous day 🌸
I remember the first time I cinched my waist in and it was like I lost 60 lbs already. Lol. I was so used to wearing loose boxy clothing to hide everything I wasn't realizing I was making things worse!
Great video and I liked most of the "after" looks. Like some of the other ladies commented, those overly flowy and wispy sleeves aren't very practical for work (even in an office) or for a dinner date. But they'd be fine to go to a party or the movies. What I'd like to see as a follow up is what winter clothing works for which type as the tops shown look to be for summer and are not warm at all.
Hi Kelly Randolph ❤️ Thanks for your suggestion 🌺 have a great day 😀
A suggestion... if you put the times when each body shape starts it would be nice for those of use who are interested in one shape
Yes, would really help as most people don't want to watch about other body shapes other than their own.
Pear - 0 - 9.40 minutes
Apple - 9.43 - 15.35
Rectangle - 15.36 - 21.55
Don’t forget we are just interested in ourselves. I do want to say, thank you as there is very little information for people that don’t have the perfect body... also for your videos of over 50s... I am nearly there and it’s really hard to choose clothing
@@jmk1962 I wonder what happened to the hourglass body type? That's what I was waiting for.
Majority of my customer who are overweight/ obese , ect are constantly asking to buy my upper arm bracelets..😥.this way of dressing makes sense. Great tips 👌
You are so kind and knowledgeable! It’s so easy and fun to watch and listen! ❤️
I wish you would do more fashion videos- you’re so good at them
Im an apple 😓 and I used to wear that kind of shirts to try to hide my body, but was worse because at the end the result was a terrible boxy shape, as you said. THANK YOU so much for your advices!! Love your channel 💜
Wonderful advice. My mother who was an excellent seamstress and who loved to help friends and family with figure issues had many of your ideas.
You are absolutely right about adjustments here and there etc.
can really enhance a womans appearance.
Thank you
D. Jeanne
Thanks for taking the time to share your comment Jeanne! Have a great day 🌸
Your advise is fabulous. I have heavy arms and use small shoulder pads on all tops. Just adding that little bit of width takes off pounds and creates a good proportion. I have done this for years but rarely do I ever see a reference to this solution. Sleeves are totally ignored but thanks to you the word is now out!
Hi Karen Simpson! Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to share your comment with me....Have a great day 💕
So love all your tips. You make want to hold out my chest and say "Yes I'm over 50 and proud of it." A while back I watched a video about slenderizing and making the legs look longer by the cut of the tops and because of it, when I wear those type tops I get asked #1...did you lose weight and #2...are you wearing heels today! Thank you so much!
I loved reading your comment COLLEEN Gilmartin! Thats awesome...Thanks for letting me know ❤️
Wear what makes you happy and comfortable. Don't worry about what others think. Life is too short. Peace.
Such wonderful information, I am 62 and have always had a somewhat thicker waist. About 5 years ago that ‘middle’ area seems to attract every extra calorie i consume. Thank you for sharing these tips and tricks. I must have unconsciously thought about this because I just rummaged through my closet and found a couple fine knit sweaters and flowered low neck line cami’s and tanks to wear under the sweaters. Just by pushing the light sweaters up to my elbow has given me a whole knew look. Funny how things creep to the back of our closets if we think we can’t wear them.
CODA Marketing ❤️
I'm so happy that you are doing this so many women are going to be extremely happy when they find you ❤️ ☮️
OHMIGOSH! thank you for your great guidance. What a great resource for us fabulous women over 50!
Delighted to see a waistline falling at the actual waist for pear. So many plus-size tops are empire waist making us pears look enciente...
What a terrific analysis and explanation! You are a wonderful thoughtful woman Schellea, and you are helping women all over the world with your videos -- keep them coming!
Great to have such a positive role model for over 50's. Thank you.
Thanks so much for your kind comment Penny ❤️ Hope you have an amazing week 🌺
Thanks for your perfect explanations. I'm a pear, and now i've really unterstand how to look good. 😘
I absolutely love love your channel. I shared it on Facebook because we all deserve the knowledge on how to look younger ❤️. Thank you! 😊
How are you doing 😊😊😊
Waaaa! You didn't cover hourglass. Everybody seems to think that is the perfect shape, but I often feel like fashions are designed for everybody else. A large chest tends to make me look really fat. Anything that isn't cinched in hangs straight down and looks like a big circus tent. I hope you have a special program for us. Fitted clothes used to really look great on me, but as I'm older, I now have a belly to hide. Thanks for the tips, though. I'll try to figure out what to do from here.
Thanks for your comment Anything Is Possible! I will make a stand alone hourglass body type video...coming soon...I have loads of options for you and you can use many of the tips in this video too ❤
@@fabulous50s Looking forward to that!
Me too! I waited and waited for the hourglass one lol!
I'm a plus size hourglass
Me too! I'm an hourglass. I hate belts, want to hide my stomach after 3 kids and a 120 lbs weight loss... but I'm a DD size 12. Everything looks awful! I watched the video 2x thinking I must have zoned out on the hourglass part. Help!
Anything Is Possible I also feel so left out. Hourglass, please.
I am so glad you did this. We never see solutions, only images of stick-figure women held up as perfection. Very informative
I am so self conscious about my arms! Probably a little too much - so I am excited to try these, I usually dress to cover my arms and not to pull the body together.
Have fun experimenting Ramona Samuels! Thanks so much for watching...Have a great day 💕
Lots of great information. Most "apples" I know though, do not have a small bust. Quite the contrary, they usually have disproportionately large chests; more upside-down Triangle than Apple, LOL>
Very helpful! Not sure if you addressed my body type. Also, I’m 74 now, and my arms are crepey. I live in So. Calif where it is warm to hot so I have a closet full of sleeveless dresses and tops which no longer are flattering. I’d like some very lightweight shrugs or something as a layer to cover my arms... and that are solid colors which will go with many things.
... Hi Georgie Hughes in CA.... I previously lived in California, and I am now almost 65. :) what I found helpful as I had a lot of these little cute little sleeveless tops and you know tank top type things that were you know that had the wider shoulders I went searching and I found beautiful lightweight" sheer sleeved ' blouses ....... not only will that keep protect your arms from the Sun but it will also keep you cool and add that small layer , to cover up anything you don't like !
one blousev in particular that I found that I loved it is white voile type fabric and it had black edging on the cuffs and a black edging on the placket and on the collar... So lovely. ... and it had a squared longer hem so that you could wear it tucked in or not. I usually wear something like that not tucked in you just wanted to look flowy and just have it be part of your ensemble and I got so many compliments on some of these blouses, it's just a little layer to help you feel more confident. Ihope this helps you I'm not sure if I have a picture of it I did wear it a lot and I do still have it and I purchased it 10 years ago when I lived in California.
Shelby Lawton Yes, thank you for your reply. That sounds very much like what I’m hoping to find... even wanting to stylishly tie a blouse over the top of some of my sleeveless dresses or tops. I spend most of my time at church activities. I do like the softer look.. and light fabrics, especially if layering things.
@@georgiehughes4858 ... Thank you so much for your kind reply. See, ....?! You've got it figured out, I'm sure that you'll be looking fabulous! God bless 🙏
Shelby Lawton Shelby, I think I have an idea as to what would look nice or stylish, but can’t seem to find the right things. I like a number of the blouses you have in your video, but styles in the stores have changed. I used to dress “up” more as a younger woman.... I’m a widow now, and definitely don’t have the budget to replace many of my clothes... I like to do as you show in your videos... Not make myself look older than necessary. I like the peplum tops but don’t know where to find them anymore. Actually, I don’t shop much either. My husband always enjoyed taking me out shopping and trying on clothes... That’s why I have closets full of things. I must be frugal now... I have even tried looking at thrift stores for that extra layer. Anyway, your video on wearing soft flows fabrics and looking curvy has inspired me... I’ll keep trying...
I use aveeno lotion it's amazing for dry mature skin
Although I guess I'm not the average over 50's size, I do appreciate the need to dress according to one's body shape. I've gained a few pounds during CoVid and recovering from back & hip issues. I think these beautiful clothing options are great warmer weather options, however I'd love to see options for cold weather like these. I can't wait to see what Shelley will show!
I wish you could just take me shopping😩.
Let's make it a group outing!
You're so lovely to watch and listen to - you have a very calming voice. So I'd follow your videos even if I wasn't particularly interested in the content! Luckily I LOVE your informative videos, so it's a win/win situation for me!
Hi Fee Marbs! Thanks so much for your lovely comment... Have an amazing weekend 💕
Hello Fee
I became aware of the sleeve thing and I suit a 3/4 sleeve. Only trouble is - in winter I freeze because my arm is not covered. I also suit a v neck, so again that's cold in winter. But a long sleeve and high neck makes me look 20K heavier. LOL.
I would rather stay warm in winter and wear full length sleeve regardless what it makes me look like, just silly to be cold.
Wear a scarf around your neck.that keep u warm.nice soft shape.Not knitted.
Cap and puff sleeve, cute idea but it's winter and I'd freeze.
Great info! Never thought about the sleeve. I’m an apple shape plus I’m short (everywhere) and have big boobs. Shopping for flattering, affordable clothes is very difficult

You probably have already done a video on this but I wanted to know if you have a video to show how to dress if you have a big belly. Like a pregnant belly. I’ve been telling people who ask when is the baby due “any day now. I’ve been waiting 10 years”!
I have the same challenge. Cutting back on carbs helps so much. Get the sugar out of your diet .
I'm hour glass but 5'4 and I do have a tummy now that I 'm trying to hide (no low waist jeans for me,lol.) I love the kimono (short) idea to slim my chest. and flowing half sleeves.

Hi Kerryn 56 and a warm welcome to fabulous50s! Thanks so much for watching and have an amazing week 💕
Hi Kerryn
I just ran across your channel and love it. I am 65 years old, but people guess my age in the late 40s. I have been lucky to have a face type that ages well, (I think it is oval). In the past year I have started getting wrinkles around my mouth area and would appreciate some advice on best way to reduce those wrinkles or make them less noticeable. I have always had no problem dressing young but in the past year I have gained weight in the belly area and upper arms. I think I am sort of an apple shape, but I am naturally very large breasted, wide shoulders, no waistline, narrow hips and thin legs. Because of my breasts, I have always had a hard time finding clothes to fit right. Also, a lot of the cute, younger tops these days are short, which doesn't work well with my bulgy tummy or tucking shirts into my pant waist. I am going to the beach in January so obviously jackets during the day won't work. I would appreciate any suggestions. I like the boho look but not sure if that look is flattering to my body. Hope to hear from you soon! Thanks so much!
I’m 8 stone and 5ft 2 not many petite shops, it’s all trail and error and I’m hip-less just straight down. Thank you.
Hi Jean Davies! Thanks so much for watching...Have a great day 💕
Greetings from Germany!
I see all of your videos and they are very educational for me. Thanks for your kindness. I now know a lot about what I have to do so that my make-up and my clothes do a lot for me.
My big problem is: I need addresses from manufacturers or sellers who offer high-quality clothing for the respective body shapes and for the respective color types.
Whenever I find a nice piece of clothing for my body shape, it is the wrong color. And if both are true, it's made of polyester.
Do you have a solution to this problem?
Hello Gabriela
Thank you so much this was really helpful ❤ I'm a 40-38-44 These will help me a lot. I'm 72. 5'4"

I love this advice. I knew about the capped sleeves and cinched waist but had no idea about sleeve length--as a pear shape. Where is the link to buy those cinched waist tops? Thank you!
Jeez! You look like barbies fabulous aunt😁
Yes....what a very pretty lady you are ...2 thumbs way up👍👍
I use to be an apple shape and then I had weight loss surgery and lost 90lbs. I was to thin and needed to gain some weight back. I’ve kept off 75lbs and now a square shape. I still dress like I am an apple shape. Oversized tops. The reason being I have a lot of loose belly flab. I try to wear tops that cover my tummy hang/spare tire. I hate when I raise and lower my arms and my shirts rest on top of my belly. I did buy a dress that fits like the gray shirt that gathers to the side of the waist on the lady with the square shape and let me tell you! It made me look like I had a tiny waist and my waist is only 2” smaller than my hips and 4” smaller than my bust line. Only thing is it shows all my back fat lol Would love for you to do undergarments or shape wear for those of us that need it. I ordered a bunch from Shapermint and all it did was push my fat down even further and stick out even worse. And they roll down. I do t care what they say. So embarrassingly being in public and that sticky band roll all the way down. Thank you so much for your videos!!
The problem I have with flowy tops for apple shaped is you can do nothing with flowy sleeves. Forget cooking, eating, chemistry, or cleaning. Those sleeves will catch everything.
Oh yes, I just can’t wear long sleeves that aren’t cuffed because they get in the way of everything I do. I’m sure people who’ve got the money to pay for a cook, cleaner, gardener etc can get away with it!
@@rhonddalesley flowy sleeves are terrible. Can't wear them.
I’m saving these videos! Shelly, you are so wonderful to share all this information with us! Very generous of you. 💐💐💐
Thanks for your comment PLUME 1! Im sending you a big hug 🤗❤️
fabulous50s Awww thank u💐💐💐
Hi love the video. I wanted to know the sleeve types for hourglass. I can't find it on this video, is it on another video? or have I missed it?
I really enjoyed this video, and the tips for Apple shaped figures. The importance of visual appearance and focusing on specific features of the body are so essential. I like your technique of drawing on the screen over the photos so the viewer can clearly see the differences made with a change of fashion. Thank you :-)
You're so welcome Lorraine! Thanks so much for watching...Have a great day 💕
Thank you so much Schellea for all the beautiful examples you used to enhance our body types. What an amazing improvement. We’re heading into winter and I’ll wear a slim turtle neck under some of your examples to make it work for cold weather. Blessings, love and hugs.... Sherry

Hello Sherry
Hello first time here 🙂 watching your good videos let's spread love and peace
. Watching now from Asia country from manila Philippines 🇵🇭 God bless
I've enjoyed your video . They way you explain things is brilliant . Just wish you did the hour glass shape in this video 💚💙💙💜
I’m pear shaped and if I really like a top I’ll buy it and get it shortened so that it doesn’t end up at the top of my legs, which seems to be the fashion for YEARS. I usually zhoozh my sleeves up which looks better.
Hi Linda Lee-Brown! Thanks so much for watching...Have a great day 💕
I'd like to hear about the upside down triangle shape as well as the hourglass shape.

I love this concept, but I don’t seem to be any of these shapes😳🤣🤣🤣🤣
Same, but it does seem the peplum tops with floaty sleeves look flattering on most body types. That and sleeves that leave your wrists open. I Personally like 3/4 length on myself in the warmer months
Hello..
I’m one of ur subscribers from India..fabulous to watch ur videos.
Could u pl suggest for women with Indian outfits ??🤔🤔
Waited in vain for the hourglass body type. Glad you are going to do a separate video for us! And are shrugs still in style? Another UA-cam fashion video said they're out. I have several of those little sweaters.
Hi Gloria J. Pinsker! Im working on the hourglass video as we speak and you can use loads of the tips in this video as well....Shrugs are still in style because they enhance the look of your body and offer a very practical "arm" solution. I would prefer you dress in what suits your body type, rather than dress for trends...That way you will always look good...Have a great day 💕
@@fabulous50s I agree, and I think shrugs and bolero sweaters are great and very practical. But we mature ladies also don't want to be labeled old-fashioned or matronly! 😳 I trust your judgement. I didn't think they were out of style, either! Thanks for your videos! 😊
Hi Gloria
This is very helpful but I also need to know what to do when it is cool. The sleeve option is not always practical when it it’s cool or cold office.
Do you have advice for inverted triangle shapes? I have a narrow frame with slim arms, wide shoulders, large bust with a defined waist but very small hips.
Monica It seemed like her Apple shaped graphic was actually inverted triangle so I found that confusing too
Hi Monica! yes I do...I will talk about your shape in an upcoming video...Thanks so much for watching...Have a great day 💕
@@angellove9767 😅 so funny!!
@@fabulous50s That's great!! Many thanks 😅
Your so delicate to talk about each shape sounds lovely ❤
I really appreciated this video, I never thought of sleeves before. Very eye opening , thank you
Im so happy you enjoyed the video Cindy Hughes Thanks for taking the time to comment ❤️
Hello Cindy
I really enjoyed watching your video and learned to buy proper clothes for my body type thanks a lot for your ideas
Love your vlogs. They are very clear with tons of good tips. Love it, thanks! My tip for hiding the straight hem is tucking one site in my pants. And long earrings also help with the vertical slimming lines..
Thanks for sharing your tips with us Sandra van Uffelen Visagie! Have a great day 🌹
