PLEASE continue to add the bulk like this, we can all experience bloating and this helps to plan outfits around that
The tummy example was ingenious, not offensive at all, that’s my shape so I learn so much watching your videos. Another honest, practical, relatable and enjoyable video Melissa. X
Thank you ladies. I was so worried that I was going to offend my super lovely followers but now that i've got the green light then i'll do that regularly. On my hens do (nearly 15 years ago now) they dressed me up as 'Vicky Pollard' and part of the outfit was quite a large tummy so I might even use that next time!

@@mmpersonalstyling yes! wear it! Perfect!
Thank you for adding the “tummy” I loved that. No one has done that , I find it very helpful. I’m a ruler/rectangle shape but after having a kid and going through early menopause I’ve gained a bit of a lower tummy. This was a very helpful video to help me feel more secure.🥰
Agreed!
Dear brave Melissa!!, I really appreciate you going that extra step when you added the bulk. It was not offensive in the least bit . You are professional and tactful and it shows! Often , I try to imagine in my mind, what an outfit would actually look like for large chest and middle . But when you demonstrated that, in my mind it moved from imagination to actual and that is helpful!!
Thank you Martha, I'm so pleased it was helpful to people and i'm happy to do this again. I'll include a large bust and an even bigger, thicker torso all around from front to back next time. I had visions of al my followers leaving me as it would have been deemed offensive so i'm hoping that i'll sleep better tonight knowing that wasn't the case!!!!
@@mmpersonalstyling I hope you had restful sleep waking up to see - that we didn’t unsubscribe!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Exactly! I have a stomach like that and it was so nice to be able to see the difference it makes.
It wasn’t the least offensive but I understand your worry as things ca get out of hand on social media.
How would you think the tummy trick is offensive Melissa, it's genius! I am someone that carries extra weight on my tummy and thanks to your tricks and tips I'm getting good at disguising it. Absolutely love your channel - you are so sincere and helpful.
That’s great to hear, thanks for sharing x
I'm here to learn more about realistic ways to balance and enhance my body shape. So...Definitely not offensive at all, but helpful!
Great, thank you. Glad it was helpful x
@@mmpersonalstyling I think you have the best styling videos precisely because you address all shapes AND tell us how to dress, why to dress a particular way as well as show examples. Thank you! So glad I found your channel. I dress in an edgy style (despite my advanced age) e.g. moto jackets, wide leg jeans, lug sole chelsea boots... and would appreciate the adding of an edgy style look once in awhile. Please?
I so appreciate that you demonstrated your look with a stomach-like illustration. Thanks so much!
You are so welcome! x
Finally! Someone knows how to deal with tummy issues. These are the tips I am using since I have my son and couldn’t loose the weight I got. all works for me. thank you so much for these practical tips.
You’re very welcome. Tune into the UA-cam live on Sunday 7pm GMT time if you can make it - I’ve brought a much bigger tummy to show people how to style/hide it! X
I love that you added the padding. I think it shows how sincerely you want to illustrate how it looks instead of just telling us what we should do. I think it’s brilliant!!❤️❤️
Thank you so much Sandra xx
I think the bulking up is a brilliant idea and can give a true picture as to how an outfit may look, I found it very helpful 😀
I'm really pleased, more to come then!
Adding the tummy is far from offensive. It is the reality of my life, so I appreciate any clothing video that has other body shapes. Thank you for your ideas and advice.❤️
Not offensive at all. I'm a size 8 but with a sizeable tummy so finding flattering ways to work with it is great for me. Thank you so much xxx
I'm very happy to see that you are taking into account that some of your followers are living in warm climates. I'm in California, and although I love your coat and blazer collection and the way they finish an outfit, that concept doesn't work well here. They say that California climate is Fall in the morning, Summer at noon, Spring in the afternoon and Winter in the evening--which makes layering a must. Add to that, living in a beach city we are very casual and it makes looking smart a challenge.
I really appreciated this video showing different ways to tailor an outfit to one's body shape. Your dressing REAL women is SO helpful! Thank you!
As soon as the summer clothes come into our shops I’ll start showing them Susan but right now we’re in winter and even experiencing the worst storms that we’ve ever had so we can’t get the summer clothes just yet! X
That scarf represents my issue and I’m so happy to see you show it even if you stuff a scarf in your pants! I love it!!!
Oh good, really pleased to hear that I haven't offended my loyal followers!
TERRIFICALLY HELPFUL, AS WELL AS INSPIRING and presented in such a very nice & kind tone
Thank you for going the extra mile to show us how to take care of the tummy area!!
I LOVE that you added bulk to your tummy. It makes it more real NOT AT ALL OFFENSIVE. Thank you. Please continue to demonstrate this way
I think it is a good idea to demonstrate a little bit of extra weight on some aeras and how to camuflage it- nothing wrong with it, we all have different body types, and I think it really helps🤗 Interesting that I prefer your videos comparing to the 'fashionistas' that are my age (I am 32) and I think that you are way more real and you have a lot more knowledge of course. Plus you do not put on clothes for instagram but for real life👏👏👏
Thank you Neza, that's really lovely to hear. Thanks for watching and I hope to see you in the live!
Your jumper collection needs it's own video!
Like I want ALL YOUR JUMPERS!. 😍😍😍
Thank you for using a prop to show what it looks like with a tummy. I get so frustrated when flat stomach w!omen try to teach people with a belly how to dress but everything looks perfect on them anyway! You have helped so very much. Thanks again.
Bulk away Melissa, I have the bulk & grateful you catered for it … we can see the tuck works 👍🏻 great tips & outfit looks, you definitely look lovely in that pink xx
Thank you Carole....bring on the bigger tums and the boobs!
Absolutely not offensive, Mellisa. it's often difficult to describe, or imagine, exactly how something will
look to someone else. In many cases there will often be doubt in the viewers' minds about the efficacy of a suggestion - therefore, a practical demonstration is a welcome illustration. Thank you, as always, for your really valuable advice. I have used your ideas to fine tune my wardrobe and I feel much more comfortable in my style choices - all down to you! xx
Thank you, your comments make it all worth it. Hope to see you at the live! xx
I'm glad that you added a 'tummy' in your video, and although you put this up on UA-cam a while ago, I can still tell you how great it was. As a person who now, after years of having a flat tummy, now hasn't, I need all the help I can get. I am getting so much from all your videos, so keep on doing them please!
Thanks for that!
I really like that you try to demonstrate how it would look for different body shapes. Pad away, it helps people visualise better. Thank you :)
Glad it was helpful! Watch this space for new huge boobs - I can't wait!!!!
Finally found a stylist who is not 5.10. I am 5ft 3 and have really enjoyed you putting these outfits on. Thank you so helpful!
Hi Melissa, I love that you added the extra bulk, it helps me to imagine what it would look like on me and wasn’t offensive at all. More of the same please!
What a helpful video, Melissa! Thank you, and please go ahead and use something bulky in the problem areas--It really helps. (Although the tummy you added was rather tiny!) Can you do more of this type of video? The more examples, the better!
I will do Brenda and now that I know it hasn't offended i'll go bigger next time!!!
Not offensive at all. I found the added bulk extremely helpful and I'm just grateful that you're conscious of other body types at all!
Thank you so much Melissa. I can honestly say that with your help and guidance I have transformed my wardrobe and myself ❤️. I had completely given up on clothes and fashion because I had no idea how to style my body shape. I have finally regained my confidence and now I look forward to getting dressed each morning, which is easy as I now have a wardrobe that finally works. 🍾💐
You are so welcome Ellie, that was such a lovely message to read. At the end of the day it's all about increasing our confidence and i'm so pleased that i could help you with this. Hopefully i'll see you at the live? I've never done one before and quite honestly don't even know how to do one but i'm hoping that i'll figure it out!!! xx
Absolutely brilliant! Thanks so much for all your advice and tips…I,ve never found another UA-camr in this country that is so informative and helpful to all shapes and sizes for our age group …xx
Thank you Janine, that’s so nice of you to say so. X
OMG thank you so much for adding the stomach in your video. The visual helps so much and it makes me feel you really get the struggle!
Oh good! You may enjoy the 'how to disguise a larger stomach video' - that's got all the tricks of the trade in it!
Oh no! You asked the internet if they were offended.
Get ready for the “inbox full” message. 😜
I love your content. Your style is clean, classy, smart. I want everything you show❤️❤️
It helps put things in perspective. It’s fine you saying it hides your tummy …. but you don’t have a tummy……until you add the scarf and lumpy tummy, here I am. Fabulous. And you are so honest but so kind. I have put on weight since being perimenopausal and you have given me confidence. Thank you
I'm glad you found it useful Tina but have no seen the video on 'how to disguise a larger tummy' - you might found that one useful too as I use a much bigger tummy for the whole video! x
It helps a LOT when you add in tummy volume b/c those of us with real tummies can see exactly what you wish to demonstrate, bravo you!
Oh good. Have you seem the body shape master class series where I dress everyday women live on youtube? There's been quite a few apple shaped ladies recently. If you click on my logo then the 'video' tab you'll see them all in one place. I hope that helps and thank you for watching x
This video is FANTASTIC ! I learned more about how to dress my hour-glass figure in 20 minutes than I have in 30 years of struggling to make pice with my curbs… thank you x100 please keep making this we are NOT offended we are loving it 🥰
Thank you so much Helga, that's so nice to hear xx
Extra tummy not offensive at all...just really helpful. As someone who has a large bust, a bit of a tummy and very short waisted (I sometimes feel like a lego women...a head on a large brick on legs!) your ideas have given me so much confidence.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video, thank you for showing all realistic ways. Your explanation’s are superb, thank you!!
Great video and very helpful. I appreciate how much work goes into filming and editing! Thank you!!
Love your videos Melissa! So smart adding extra on your tummy to just Illustrate. I learn so much from you, video after video!
This was a really great video !! Thank you Melissa !
Loved this!! Some fabulous tips for coping with a mum tum. Thanks so much 😍
Brilliant Melissa …. tactful and sensitive and so informative. Thank you. x
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! These are the videos always look for. They give me alternatives so I can adjust to my shape and needs.
I found your channel last week. I love how you explain balance. Thank you!
Brilliant that you're showing ways to style different body shapes 👍😍 x
Modifying the tummy silhouette was MOST helpful. Thank you!!!
It is so much more effective to show something than it is to describe it. If someone is offended, it is their own issue, not yours.....the rest of us SUPER appreciate this brilliant visual.
Thank you. You may be interested in the specific video where I showed how to disguise a larger tummy - it’s worth a watch!
You are a professional stylist, and I felt you did a wonderfully professional demonstration for those of us that carry weight there. Thank you!
Thank you so much x
Great video, loved the variety, applying to all different body types. Thank you 😊
Great video! It’s all about proportion! And you show it and explain it so well! Oh, and as far as adding the scarf to demonstrate the larger yummy? Well, I have one and I am not upset or intimidated in any way! I appreciate it!
Again, thank you so much! 🎊
That’s great Sharron, I’m glad I didn’t offend. The comments have all been positive so I’ve brought myself a much bigger fake belly so I’ll be doing some styling with that on on Sunday live x
@@mmpersonalstyling that’s great! Hoping I can watch - hubby is having some extensive oral surgery this morning so praying he does well! Will plan on watching!
Simply brilliant, I found this so helpful. Thank you for being so inclusive Melissa. You're a genius! 💗
You give me so much inspiration! Thank you! 😀
Like your shape, I’m a pear + hourglass… but unlike you I’m over 60 so have that lovely scarff in my belly area naturally!! I loved the example and I’ve learned much from your videos.. Thankyou for the online styling option - will follow that up with you as my body has changed and I’m not as confident in older style options as i used to be.. thankyou!
Thank you, Melissa! Very informative content! :)
I am that woman with the extra weight in the tummy area. I love how you demonstrated this. I found it very helpful to see it visually
Oh good Lori, pleased it worked for you x
I’ve learnt so much! Thank you💖
Love, love, love ❤️ Also that pink suit looks stunning on you x
Thank you so much!!
I look forward to seeing the rest of your videos Melissa. This one was eye opening and perfect for my figure. I need to watch again to let it sink in. Thank you.
Brilliant video! So helpful
Not offended at all, you could go further as far as I'm concerned. I loved that you filled the tummy area out, it's how many of us actually look! Especially as we've aged or had children and few have figures as good as yours. Chunky arms is an area rarely addressed in any videos and is the bane of my life!! Jacket/coat/blouse sleeves are often tight but I'm a size 10 everywhere else!!
Thank you. My mum suffers really badly with having bigger arms but a smaller frame. It makes her really conscious during the summer months. As soon as the summer clothes come into our shops then i'm going to focus on how to cover the main problem areas using summer clothes as it's clearly a lot harder because we can't layer up as much!
Thank you so much. These small tips really make me look so stylish.
Please add the tummy as it really helps. I have a big tummy/ loose skin left from weight-loss. It’s a huge problem area fir me especially when wearing trousers as I’ve small hips and slim legs. No one ever addresses that in styling videos .
Thank you. Love your videos
I'm the same shape Sam its really hard to dress, and you are right we are avoided. I didn't reply to you to promote myself buuuut I actually have a small channel, I'm just a regular gal not a stylist or anything glam like that, but I do love clothes and post my outfits of my week x x x
Thank you for your support Sam, I'm so glad it was taken the way I had hoped and didn't come across as offensive. I'll happily show that again if it helps. x
This is great! Thank you so much. Especially loved the section on gymwear! X
This was excellent and very practical content! Loved the added bulk demo - as someone in the "learning" stage of fashion who deals with that exact issue, I found it helpful and not offensive at all! Thank you!
Glad to hear that. Thanks for watching x
Adding the padding was a good idea because it helps to illustrate your point. It lets people see the effect of different styling.
I love that you are blunt, in a great way. You are very straight forward, and I think it’s what we need. I love it!!!
Thank you so much xx
I thought the tummy example was brilliant, and I do have a tummy as I am going through menopause now. Thank you for that! I am a visual learner. Great video and I just found your channel and subscribed!! Keep inspiring!😊❤ Blessings!
Thanks for subscribing Tess and welcome! If you click on my logo you then the videos tab you should see all of my videos in the one place. Hope you enjoy! X
Absolutely fabulous tips and tricks for a not so perfect silhouette!👍🤗❤️
You are one of my most favorite styling channel so far! There are many styling youtubers out here but you mainly use clothes from Zara, H&M, and Mango in which these brands can found in many countries not only Europe and very budget friendly. Also, your style is very realistic for any shape of the women and very practical.
Really enjoy your videos, tips, and the classy clothes you choose to illustrate the points you make. Thank you.
Thank you Ann xx 😘
It's not offensive, it's a great visual for us 😀
I'm so pleased as i've been really worried that it would be taken the wrong way! Thanks for your support c
Thank you for doing this!! You weren’t offensive at all. Sometimes people are visual leaners. We are very similar in size & height. I’m learning a lot from you! Thanks again!
Another great video. Scarf idea was great. Think I'm a two scarf tummy.
😂😂😂 I'll use some extra padding next time - i'm also going to play around with some bigger boobs (i've always wanted bigger ones so i'm looking forward to that part!!!) xx
I love your ‘what I wore….’ Videos Melissa. You’ve given me some great ideas for gym, coffee dates, and going shopping. Like you say, everyday stuff, thank you! 👍☺️💕
You're welcome Beverley. As one of my lovely loyal followers i hope to see you at the live so if there's anything you want to ask/see then please let me know xx
Fantastic video. You addressed many of the issues I face everyday but want to obtain a certain style.
Fabulous styling understanding real women x
This is incredible!! Thank you, wow this really helps.
Great tips and ideas. I have double trouble with very narrow shoulders and a biggish belly. I have invested in some shoulder pads which help to balance me out a bit. I got this idea from you Melissa. Thank you.
ABSOLUTELY LOVED you adding the bulk for demonstration purposes. Genius! Not at all offended. I appreciated it a lot.
not at all offensive. agreed. such a relief to have someone who helps us ladies who have tummy issues learn and know how to style themselves. I've struggled with this for a long time and have been binge watching your shows - I especially appreciate when you make it applicable for the tummy area. thank you so much from the States! 💕🌷🌸
Thank you. I've done a couple of videos on how to dress larger stomachs now including one with the lovely Denise who had a stomach and a larger chest to dress (we did this live on the channel). I think it was episode 7 of the body shape master class and i'm filming another one of these on Monday. If you click on my logo then the 'video' tab you'll see all of my videos in one place.
@@mmpersonalstyling thank you so much! Yes! I was very grateful to see Denise's video - it was very helpful! Thank you Denise, again! 💕😘
Thank you so much for the information! Can't wait to go check it out. 💕😘
@@mmpersonalstyling love from the States!
Brilliant video best and most informative one yet Thankyou
It's a reality and what you have done is what I want to see if it really works ..too many stylist won't even show that..I love your videos
Thank you so much!! I've brought an even bigger belly so I can show people on the youtube live so hopefully you can join us for that!
Absolutely brilliant 👏 thanks so much 🙏
The bulk was fine and I appreciate you checking with your viewers ❤
I appreciate ur examples for practical styling
Again, like a good book. Can visit and revisit and learn something new every time.
Oh good as i do feel like i must have said the same thing 100's of times over by now so really pleased to hear that you're still learning bits and pieces. Hope to see you at the live!
I love that you consider different body shapes.
Thank you. I've made 5 episodes in the Body Shape Master Class Series now where i've styled a normal everyday woman from each shape - you may find those useful. Thanks for watching x
Thank you so much for this and all your videos and most of all including all body shapes. I really appreciated you going out of your way to demonstrate how an outfit would look on someone with weight around the belly. You are absolutely gorgeous and I love your style.
Thank you so much, really pleased it’s helping a few people xx
You are a genius. Adding bulk in areas is not offensive AT ALL! I think it helps tremendously! Thank you :)
I love how you show a wrong way & the right way to wear something. It is so helpful to have that visual! Plus, explaining why it works or why it doesn’t. Please keep creating them.
Such a helpful video!
I am loving your videos! You do such an awesome job of disguising the bits that we don’t want highlighted.
Thank you x
That pink suit is GORGEOUS! ❤️
Can’t wait for the live session - fantastic video and great examples and advice!
I look forward to seeing you there! Thanks for watching x
Loved the added fluff! I was thinking, “Oh gosh! I hope she makes her chest larger for a video. I love your style but constantly think, “Well, everything looks great on her” 🤣 This was great!
Hi there. I’m doing a live today (Sunday 27th at 7pm UK time) and I’ve got a fake belly and 3 x padded bra so I’m going to show people how to dress with the extra lumps so hopefully you can join us x
Lovely and thoughtful examples.
Great tips and useful video. Thank you!
Really enjoying all your videos. Thank you for all the styling tips.
You are so welcome!
All you solutions are incredibly helpful. You are really good!! Thank you.
Glad you like them!
You made every body type look very attractive with similar outfits!
I'm a visual person; you adding a little tummy is just fine
