    Now I realise at the end, I am not rectangle.

    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!

    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.

    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.

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!

      @staceykersting705 3 роки тому

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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 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 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.

    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

    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..
