Wow- broad around the back/shoulder, no waist, small hips and legs... me!! Thanks for this. Most people don't get that tucking everything in/belting to show the waist just emphasizes that we don't curve in much! That small tuck is key. All the rest too. And thanks to beautiful Mel!
Love your videos! Especially appreciate detailed explanations while walking through each outfit. Also like hearing why a specific piece works or doesn’t work on someone. Then, explaining options and what would work best. Thank you so much!
Mel certainly has not lost her modelling techniques & her face & skin lovely. Great looks & colours choices are very complimentary to Mel’s complexion ❤️xx
I'm anxiously waiting for styling tips for an hour glass figure to the extreme. I have a small waist and full hips. Thanks for all of your hints, your information is very helpful.....thank you!
Me too waiting for petite hour glass styling tips but I’m binge watching all your videos they are so realistic and very easy to understand and follow for regular women with normal hectic lifestyle where most the time comfort is the key 🔑
So interesting watching this on a real person and Mel looks amazing. Loved too many outfits to pick one out.. I'm always amazed when you style things and they go from dowdy to stunning. I'm with Mel on the boots and trainers - to my mind boots that cut you across the shins aren't (in my view flattering but a lot of people like that). Love your dress!
Appreciated this one. I'm 5'8" as well and have thinner legs (but still have muscular upper thighs). Have broader shoulders and a "sort of" waist. I appreciate the tips.
Brilliant thank you! I've been patiently (or not so much lol) waiting for another video, at 44 I feel like the penny has finally dropped on where I've been going wrong thanks to you! Thank you so much for sharing your wealth of knowledge and helping me feel confident again 💕
That's nice Cindy, thank you! Watch out for the next body shape class where i'm filming with a good friend of mine and I just couldn't control her on camera, we spent half the time laughing 😂😂😂
Love outfit 2 and totally amazed at how your changes transformed the outfit. She looks amazing. I have such a similar shape and was very skeptical about that choice…at first. Incredibly impressed!!!❤❤❤
Loved this so much! Like everyone else, I’ve been waiting, patiently, for the next video in the series. liked seeing you style a taller woman. Got so many great tips! Looking forward to the hourglass.
Really useful approach on these videos - more helpful than style “rules” set in stone. Wasn’t sold on the light blazer/short coat - think it was lapel width:blazer length ratio or too much one colour, can’t fathom out why but loved video overall.
@@anneh7217 I agree, the jacket was too wide and the shoulders seemed to remove her neck. Perhaps the t underneath could have been a v neck? Double breasted made it too bulky. Loved the longline card I look though!
Great video, I have a couple of those shorter A line skirts I haven't worn in years..they're going to the charity shop as we speak! I love your practical tips and friendly support x
Loving your videos please do loads more.I went shopping the other day with your advice in mind although I didn’t see much that suited my curvy pear shape it stopped me buying random items that don’t suit me and I end up not wearing.Maybe it’s time to spend more time looking for quality items that suit me instead of just getting something because it fits me.Thank you.
I am so enjoying these videos, thank you. I've just recently retired and need to rethink my wardrobe, a fun but challenging task. I still want to look put together everyday, but in a bit more casual way. I have a very hard time finding jeans to fit me, it's a frustration. According to my measurements I'm an hourglass shape and gain weight in hips and thighs. Can't wait to see you style a triangular or pear shaped body. I look forward to your next video.
🌈💫 Beautiful model! Thank you both for the wonderful video! I loved the outfit combinations this go around! I’m a SAHM in the Pacific Northwest - it’s usually impossible to find outfits that work with trainers and Wellies, and clothes that won’t make me overheat when I’m running errands in a parka. So, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! This is a game-changer! 🥰
You're welcome! Have a look at some of my haul videos (particularly the last Zara hal) as i always include something that I can run after the kids in, walk the dog - normal everyday dressing. Thanks for watching x
I love you channel. So much great information. Sometimes I do feel like dressing yourself and this lovely lady, sometimes it feels like you are drowning in fabrics instead of seeing what a lovely shape you have, no matter if it’s balanced or not.
@@mmpersonalstyling I'm binge watching your videos. I love that you are Showcasing a variety of body shapes. You make everyone look lovely. Im now 46 and carrying the extra 20 Covid pounds. It's been a challenge and I am grateful for your channel. I have a question about "dated" styles. Sometimes the latest styles don't suit me. Instead of following trends I feel best setting my own trends. Wearing vintage. I also never stopped wearing low rise, slightly boot cut jeans when the style has been skinny jeans. And the high waisted mom Jean trend. I felt they didn't suit me. Is it important to be on trend? Or is it okay to ignore trends that I'm not thrilled with? Some seasons I love the new styles. Other seasons or years I am not happy with the style. So I just ignore it. I don't want to get in a rut or look like my style hasn't changed in twenty years. Should I try to add modern pieces each season,
Hi Melissa, so enjoyed your video . Great idea real styling for everyday women. I’m pair shaped , always aware of my narrow shoulders and heavier thighs xxx
Hi Michelle. I've just filmed an hourglass lady which will be up next week but then it's onto pears - i'm just trying to fins someone to volunteer! If you live local to me (Wiltshire, England) and willing to volunteer then i'll happily style you for free on camera x
Thx for the help! Fits me except no skinny legs. And cos of arthritic knees mine are esp big at the knees. I am straight as a stick from front. So this really helped me. However, I have to say that first turtle neck aggravated me! It was so high it was actually over the bottom half of her face! I kept saying, "do something with that turtleneck!" Lol! She is a lovely model and you did a great job. I really liked the navy blazer better than the light one. Dress was so gorgeous.
I kind of agree. So many high necks out there. I prefer to show some neck but have long sleeves. So many sleeveless or cap-sleeved high-neck dresses for sale...boring and not flattering. I didn't really like the kick flares...look like they were too short. Was hoping for some wide leg flares to balance shoulders. But overall these videos give all of us tips...thank you!
Loved this, I’m just under 5 “10 but broad with long legs, so this was excellent! Managed to finally track the MV sequin stripe jumper you had a few videos back…absolutely love it♥️
Wonderful! - i love that jumper I actually filmed with a 6 ft friend of mine a couple of days ago so that video might be quite useful for you as it's focused on dressing tall women. Thank you for watching. x
@@mmpersonalstyling I’ll look forward to that…sadly bank balance may not be quite so happy. The jumper is gorgeous, I actually phoned them to get my size as sold out online, 1 store had it and they were super helpful. I’d love to know how you do your hair..I bought the air wrap but my menopausal hair isn’t lasting long with it . Thank you again.
I keep getting asked about my hair so I might do a little video for you but I honestly don’t think it’s anything special, I think it’s just good lightening 😂. I use the Jose Eber curling wand every 3 days and I’ve had it for over 15 years now. X
I have been binge watching your videos as I am a new subscriber. I went window shopping yesterday and, where before I was always picking random pieces up, based on random colours catching my eye, yesterday I was looking at things based on the lessons and tips I am learning. LOVE your videos. Thank you. I would love to see you style some curvier women if possible. Thx
Thanks for subbing! That sounds brilliant, I'm glad a few of the tips are helping. Yes, Ive made body shape master class videos so far so search for episodes 3 and 6 for the curvier ladies plus i've got a plus size model coming up. If you click on my logo then the videos tab you'll see all the videos in one place. Thanks for watching.
Loved her in the two dresses, and the joggers with the long cardigan. Another fab video. Looking forward to the hourglass video when it happens. A 5ft 5”, 44yo, dress size 8, with a biggish bust would be perfect to see. Not hoping to see my body twin for perfect styling at all 😂😂
Hi Louise. The next one is an hourglass but she’s 6Ft tall and a size 12. I’m a size 8-10 and 5ft3 so not too far off you. Have you watched my haul videos where I’m just dressing myself? They may help you x
Hi Melissa! Another great video! I have broad shoulders but I do have waist definition as well so not 100% sure that I fit into this category. I love that denim dress and the way you styled it!! Thanks for sharing your expertise!!
Really enjoyed watching that. Am only 5ft 4 but think I may be a rectangle come Strawberry. A lot made sense to me. I often avoid stripes. The Strawberry might be why.
Really enjoy this series. I might need to get hubby to take photos of me when I put outfits on as I can't really tell if I'm balanced when I'm looking in the mirror. Look forward to the tall video 😀 x
I find that husbands and teenage/twentysomething ladies offer unfiltered honest opinions. Put a full length mirror in a place with good light and where you can stand well back from it, ideally near the front door. Never leave the house without looking at it to avoid embarrassing faux-pas!
I SO agree with taking a pic of outfits you're not sure of! For some reason, this has helped so much for me. Idk why, but I guess I can see it better in a pic. My husband and son offer great opinions for me!
Hi Leann. Have you watched the body shape master class episode 3? She was only 5ft 1 so that may be useful for you to watch as it's all about elongating the frame. x
I 've been waiting for this video! A beautiful women and i love your tips as always, you go girl! I have a future video request. "what colour fits who"?
Hi Lisa. Whilst it is a great suggestion, it's something that visually doesn't work on screen unless i've got several models in front of me to show what I mean and that's difficult to get the volunteers. However, I think people do want to see more about colour so i was thinking of doing some sort of video on how to insert colour into your wardrobe. Within that I can then cover the basics of what colours suit which people. In all honesty, as a modern day stylist we poo poo the likes of 'colour me beautiful' and that type of colour analysis not because they're wrong - they're 100% right in saying that colours do suit certain skin tones better than others BUT, that's not to say that you can't wear that particular colour anywhere else on your body, sometimes I can even get the 'wrong' colour working by your face by using necklaces, layering and accessories. I've met too many ladies over the last 20 + years who come to me saying they can only wear browns, reds and purples (for example) and it causes them too much restriction when they go shopping and ultimately prevents them from building a capsule wardrobe. Hope that helps in some way. Thank you for watching x
I’m a perfect post at 36” exactly straight up and down on a 5’ 2” frame. Regular clothes simply don’t fit right anywhere. Petite sizes fit best on shoulders and length, but petite tops are almost impossible to find anymore and what is available is usually in soft pastels which don’t suit my skin and hair tones at all. I went shopping for Spring clothes a few days ago and came home with six pairs of socks and tears. And then, I open UA-cam and there you are in my feed. I’m pouring through your videos this morning. I’d love to take you shopping with me. Fancy moving to Canada?
Oh Dani! I truly hope they help you but if you need more personalised attention then i do 1:1 online styling session all over the world if that helps. Banana republic is always good for petite sizes if that helps x
@@mmpersonalstyling thank you so much for your response. I actually have a Banana Republic suit in my closet that I purchased years ago and haven’t worn in years because I didn’t feel comfortable with the double-breasted jacket. I was reminded of the suit as I watched one of your videos and pulled it out. It still fits and is still in style, but the best part is that thanks to you, I knew how to wear it. I wore it to Mother’s Day lunch and the compliments were immediate. I’m now eyeing all my clothes differently, but more importantly, my confidence level as I shop for new ones is through the roof. So again, thank you!
@@mmpersonalstyling What is real mind blowing is that sometimes the UA-cam signal is broadcast via satellite and this signal is then leaked into space. So for all intensive purpose, aliens could be watching as well. I sometimes think it may be easier to get them, the aliens, to subscribe to my little channel than humans on earth. Have a wonderful weekend.
Would love to see you do a video on the apple/pear body type combination as I can't find any information about how to dress for my mixed body type. Thank you!
I have done one - episode 3 of the body shape master class and she was only 5ft. Click on my logo then the video tab and you’ll see all of my videos in one place x
What a gorgeous model, the denim, I loved how wearable everything is. I love the denim dress especially. The white trainers are such a great price, I'll have to treat myself. Another brilliant video Melissa. The dress you are wearing is stunning 💚🎇
Wonderful video.. I'm an Apple/strawberry ( with long slender legs ) so most of your styling here , including my coloration, works for me as well . I have most of these items in my closets !! Thank you.. LOVE your Puppy 🐶
Thank you for showing us real styles on real bodies. I love how much you styled with boots here as boots are my favorite, I'd wear them all year round if I could.
Normally I hit the like button before even watch the whole video and not leave a comment, but this time I have to. I love your videos. After watching your videos I gave my wardrobe a make over last night, and manage to chuck away 2 big rubbish bag (they will go to Red Cross). I ❤️ MelIisa
Master class indeed! Love what you show and all the things I am learning ❤️ Gorgeous dress you had on as well! Love your clothes just as much as those you show 🥰
Great Video! Love your approach to dressing all types of women's bodies. Slowly adding your suggestions into my wardrobe. Can you possibly do another petite woman? I'm a short, not thin, rectangle, not apple with muscular legs...any help will be appreciated.
I adore your content Melissa, thank you for taking the time to share so much advice. Please could you do a video for a curvy lady (mid thirties, toddler in tow but wanting to feel nice again 🙈😫) I love the casual/smart looks you create ❤️ Thank you x
Hello Lorna. Are you local to Wiltshire at all? I’m happy to do absolutely any combination of lady that I haven’t done live on UA-cam before but I struggle to get the volunteers who are happy to be live on camera! If you want to volunteer then you’ll get a free styling session for me - do let me know!
@@mmpersonalstyling that is incredibly kind of you Melissa. Unfortunately I am a fair few counties away but thank you SO much anyway. I love your channel and your style is just perfection x
Hi Melissa! You did an wonderful work with her, she looks amazing with all the outfits you advised!!! What can you advise for my body shape which is an hour glass BUT I am gaining weight in the middle section I mean my waist is not too little so NOW I am a 55 women with hour glass-apple shape? Thanks in advance!!
Hello Patricia. This is VERY normal at your age (and my age!). I see it all the time in women who have gone/going through menopause so you're not alone! It's very dependent on your height and your weight as well so whilst I can give you the generic answers they're not overly helpful unless I know your body scale. Have you seen episode 2 and 3 of the body shape master classes? Both of these deal with ladies who carry extra weight around their tummy's. Have a look to see if they're good for you, fingers crossed there's something in them you can relate to.
I would focus on distracting the eye away from the mid section. I’d wear nice necklines and details on tops to do this, jewellery in the neckline and make sure you have a good bra on so the belly and boobs are two separate areas (they can start to merge into one and another!). Try shoulder pads as this will make everything look smaller. Create longer length in the torso too by wearing longer lines (long coats, long cardigans). Hope that helps!
There are strict rules on UA-cam around being in underwear and speaking about it isn’t as good as showing im afraid . Plus there’s no way I’m standing there in my bra and pants (nobody needs to see that!!!) so I’m afraid it’s a difficult one to do on here. I do cover this privately with my clients so if you wanted a session then I’d be more than happy to help you. All the details are on my website www.mmpersonalstyling.Co.uk Thank you for watching x
Great video again..Awaiting the pear shape one, hopefully to come! Loved the trench coat though probably a neutral colour for me...Been looking for a trench coat.. Have you seen any other nice ones to compare? x
What is happening with Mel’s skin?! She is absolutely glowing!!! I wish I looked like her at 37 with a full face of makeup, never mind 51 with not a stitch on. Gorgeous ❤️
Wow! Loved every outfit and all looked lovely on Mel. Love your videos - learning so much from you. Your styling is so practical without losing the wow factor. Brilliant! Sending best wishes from Down Under❤️❤️🌺🌸🇦🇺😎
L💜VE the denim dress!!! And the flower print dress!! I didn’t quite like the double breasted jacket though…it seemed as if she was shrugging her shoulders, although I know she wasn’t. The lapels were pointing right at her shoulders. Just my wee two cents! 💜
Love your dress today.
Wow- broad around the back/shoulder, no waist, small hips and legs... me!! Thanks for this. Most people don't get that tucking everything in/belting to show the waist just emphasizes that we don't curve in much! That small tuck is key. All the rest too. And thanks to beautiful Mel!
Denim dress looks funky and youthful ! 👍
The denim dress looked so flattering and stylish on the lady, and the beige jacket was a great smart casual look ☺️
That denim dress looks amazing on her !
Thank you!!! I’m the shape of a “tissue box” which people deem as thin so never offer me help. LOVE THESE IDEAS.
A little late here, but love this, that denim dress on her with the boots, Awesome, the long cardigan, love it!!!!!
Love your videos! Especially appreciate detailed explanations while walking through each outfit. Also like hearing why a specific piece works or doesn’t work on someone. Then, explaining options and what would work best. Thank you so much!

Wow. I have learnt more in four videos from you than in my forty years plus. Thank you so much. You present information very clear and simple. Thanks.

She looks wonderful! Great tips for a rectangular body shape (like mine) thank you for this fantastic series! X
I loved learning about the skinny leg versus the looser taper. Thank you! I have broad shoulders like your model so this was really helpful
I'm glad. Thank you for watching x
Thank you,I too am this shape again after a big weight loss 😊. Thank you I am looking for a skirt style after sending back 3 mail orders 😮
A line faux leather or a pleated skirt would look great as it will add volume and balance you out on top.
That denim dress with the boots!! 👍👍
Just bought a voucher for your on line styling - super excited! Xx
Yay! Thank you! About to go through all of last nights bookings so i'll come back to you very shortly. I look forward to working with you x

Loved this so much! Like everyone else, I’ve been waiting, patiently, for the next video in the series. liked seeing you style a taller woman. Got so many great tips! Looking forward to the hourglass.
A 6Ft tall hourglass is going live today at 12 noon London time - enjoy!!
Really useful approach on these videos - more helpful than style “rules” set in stone. Wasn’t sold on the light blazer/short coat - think it was lapel width:blazer length ratio or too much one colour, can’t fathom out why but loved video overall.
Yes Julie I agree. The light jacket didn't look right some how, it was too bulky and your suggestion of the wide of the lapel was correct.
Thanks ladies, good to get your feedback, you both sound like you know what you’re talking about. Thanks for watching x
Oh, I wrote my comment before seeing Julie Watt's comment!

I love you channel. So much great information. Sometimes I do feel like dressing yourself and this lovely lady, sometimes it feels like you are drowning in fabrics instead of seeing what a lovely shape you have, no matter if it’s balanced or not.

I SO agree with taking a pic of outfits you're not sure of! For some reason, this has helped so much for me. Idk why, but I guess I can see it better in a pic. My husband and son offer great opinions for me!

Fabulous! So great to see the before and after!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.
I love your channel. I'm 4'11 and when I gain weight I look square. :-( I find all of our videos so informative. Thank you.
Hi Leann. Have you watched the body shape master class episode 3? She was only 5ft 1 so that may be useful for you to watch as it's all about elongating the frame. x
Great video! Lovely outfits. I cringed at the floral skirts being outdated as I wear them all summer. 😱🤣 Looking forward the hour glass video.
😂😂🤦♀️ hope I didn’t offend you too much 😘
@@mmpersonalstyling Not at all. I am about to massively overhaul my wardrobe. Binge watching your videos first. They are are fab!💛
Another fantastic video!!!! Thank you!
I 've been waiting for this video! A beautiful women and i love your tips as always, you go girl! I have a future video request. "what colour fits who"?
Hi Lisa. Whilst it is a great suggestion, it's something that visually doesn't work on screen unless i've got several models in front of me to show what I mean and that's difficult to get the volunteers. However, I think people do want to see more about colour so i was thinking of doing some sort of video on how to insert colour into your wardrobe. Within that I can then cover the basics of what colours suit which people. In all honesty, as a modern day stylist we poo poo the likes of 'colour me beautiful' and that type of colour analysis not because they're wrong - they're 100% right in saying that colours do suit certain skin tones better than others BUT, that's not to say that you can't wear that particular colour anywhere else on your body, sometimes I can even get the 'wrong' colour working by your face by using necklaces, layering and accessories. I've met too many ladies over the last 20 + years who come to me saying they can only wear browns, reds and purples (for example) and it causes them too much restriction when they go shopping and ultimately prevents them from building a capsule wardrobe. Hope that helps in some way. Thank you for watching x
She looks amazing in all the looks! My mum will love this video as well as she has very similar body shape to Mel xx
Please do pass it on to your mum then and thank you! x
I’m a perfect post at 36” exactly straight up and down on a 5’ 2” frame. Regular clothes simply don’t fit right anywhere. Petite sizes fit best on shoulders and length, but petite tops are almost impossible to find anymore and what is available is usually in soft pastels which don’t suit my skin and hair tones at all. I went shopping for Spring clothes a few days ago and came home with six pairs of socks and tears. And then, I open UA-cam and there you are in my feed. I’m pouring through your videos this morning. I’d love to take you shopping with me. Fancy moving to Canada?
Oh Dani! I truly hope they help you but if you need more personalised attention then i do 1:1 online styling session all over the world if that helps. Banana republic is always good for petite sizes if that helps x
@@mmpersonalstyling thank you so much for your response. I actually have a Banana Republic suit in my closet that I purchased years ago and haven’t worn in years because I didn’t feel comfortable with the double-breasted jacket. I was reminded of the suit as I watched one of your videos and pulled it out. It still fits and is still in style, but the best part is that thanks to you, I knew how to wear it. I wore it to Mother’s Day lunch and the compliments were immediate. I’m now eyeing all my clothes differently, but more importantly, my confidence level as I shop for new ones is through the roof. So again, thank you!
Thank you Gr8 video. You picked some very nice outfits. Looking forward to more videos.
Great informative video, very well done. Hello from South Africa.
It's blowing my mind that people are watching my videos from all over the world so a HUGE thank you for watching, i hope you're enjoying them. xx
@@mmpersonalstyling What is real mind blowing is that sometimes the UA-cam signal is broadcast via satellite and this signal is then leaked into space. So for all intensive purpose, aliens could be watching as well. I sometimes think it may be easier to get them, the aliens, to subscribe to my little channel than humans on earth. Have a wonderful weekend.
the jean dress looks great on her
Would love to see you do a video on the apple/pear body type combination as I can't find any information about how to dress for my mixed body type. Thank you!
I'm also short which doesn't help....any tips welcome.
I have done one - episode 3 of the body shape master class and she was only 5ft. Click on my logo then the video tab and you’ll see all of my videos in one place x
The red coat wow 👏
I agree - love it! I used it on another lady that i filmed a few days ago and she looked equally as good in it. Thanks for watching x
Thnx 🥰.. Your model is so charming n has a lovely smile😍.. God bless her🤗🥰😘
Stay Blessed Stay Happy Guys 🤗🥰😘🧚♀️🦄🌈🧿
What a gorgeous model, the denim, I loved how wearable everything is. I love the denim dress especially. The white trainers are such a great price, I'll have to treat myself. Another brilliant video Melissa. The dress you are wearing is stunning 💚🎇
Thank you Edel 😘
Wonderful video.. I'm an Apple/strawberry ( with long slender legs ) so most of your styling here , including my coloration, works for me as well . I have most of these items in my closets !! Thank you..
LOVE your Puppy 🐶
That’s brilliant Catherine, really glad it was useful for you. Yes, Monty is very much loved by all!!!
Denim shirt dress was smashing on her! She should buy several similar dresses- in solid cordoroy or summer prints
Lovely model and video!
Many thanks!
Thank you for showing us real styles on real bodies. I love how much you styled with boots here as boots are my favorite, I'd wear them all year round if I could.
Normally I hit the like button before even watch the whole video and not leave a comment, but this time I have to. I love your videos. After watching your videos I gave my wardrobe a make over last night, and manage to chuck away 2 big rubbish bag (they will go to Red Cross). I ❤️ MelIisa
That’s great to hear Rexy, really glad it inspired you and you even helped others in the process 😘👏👏👏👏
Another great master class. I'm the opposite to Mel, short and curvier but one can still learn from your ideas and comments 👍
Great to hear! I always try and include generic styling tips throughout these so i'm glad some part of it was useful to you. x
Loved most of the outfits, which would work for my shape, but the genius idea was tucking the jumper into the bra!! Never heard of that before.
Hi there. Have a look at my styling tips video, it's full of secret styling hacks like that that everyone should know!!! xx
Great video 👍 I’m looking forward to seeing one for a pear shaped body type. 😊
It’s coming - just need to find a spare day to film it!
Super…look forward ☺️
Master class indeed! Love what you show and all the things I am learning ❤️ Gorgeous dress you had on as well! Love your clothes just as much as those you show 🥰
Thank you Eva. You might be interested in my haul videos then as most of those clothes I keep!!! 😊
@@mmpersonalstyling Absolutely! I have seen everything you posted and there are soo much nice clothes so just keep all your videos coming 😘
Great Video! Love your approach to dressing all types of women's bodies. Slowly adding your suggestions into my wardrobe. Can you possibly do another petite woman? I'm a short, not thin, rectangle, not apple with muscular legs...any help will be appreciated.
Yes, i've got a petite lady coming up.
I adore your content Melissa, thank you for taking the time to share so much advice. Please could you do a video for a curvy lady (mid thirties, toddler in tow but wanting to feel nice again 🙈😫) I love the casual/smart looks you create ❤️ Thank you x
Hello Lorna. Are you local to Wiltshire at all? I’m happy to do absolutely any combination of lady that I haven’t done live on UA-cam before but I struggle to get the volunteers who are happy to be live on camera! If you want to volunteer then you’ll get a free styling session for me - do let me know!
@@mmpersonalstyling that is incredibly kind of you Melissa. Unfortunately I am a fair few counties away but thank you SO much anyway. I love your channel and your style is just perfection x
Excellent job!
Love this Melissa! Mel is a lovely model & watching you transform each outfit is amazing! ❤️☺️ xx
Thank you 🙏 xx
Fabulous video. Absolutely loved it.
Thank you very much! x
Thanks Melissa love your take on real life styling! Subcribed!
Thanks for subbing and welcome! xx
Really appreciate this video all the looks and suggestions are amazing and helpful!!! Would love to see rectangle/inverted triangle part 2💖💖
There’s another model like that on here - have a look at episode 2. Xx 😘
The denim dress was the best outfit.
Wonderful!
Hi Melissa! You did an wonderful work with her, she looks amazing with all the outfits you advised!!! What can you advise for my body shape which is an hour glass BUT I am gaining weight in the middle section I mean my waist is not too little so NOW I am a 55 women with hour glass-apple shape? Thanks in advance!!
Hello Patricia. This is VERY normal at your age (and my age!). I see it all the time in women who have gone/going through menopause so you're not alone! It's very dependent on your height and your weight as well so whilst I can give you the generic answers they're not overly helpful unless I know your body scale. Have you seen episode 2 and 3 of the body shape master classes? Both of these deal with ladies who carry extra weight around their tummy's. Have a look to see if they're good for you, fingers crossed there's something in them you can relate to.
@@mmpersonalstyling thanks Melissa! My height is 5'3" and my weight is 157 lbs (I have gained some extra punds lately)
I would focus on distracting the eye away from the mid section. I’d wear nice necklines and details on tops to do this, jewellery in the neckline and make sure you have a good bra on so the belly and boobs are two separate areas (they can start to merge into one and another!). Try shoulder pads as this will make everything look smaller. Create longer length in the torso too by wearing longer lines (long coats, long cardigans). Hope that helps!
Love your videos. Would you consider doing one on the importance of what we wear under our clothes, best bras etc. I think this is a neglected area.
There are strict rules on UA-cam around being in underwear and speaking about it isn’t as good as showing im afraid . Plus there’s no way I’m standing there in my bra and pants (nobody needs to see that!!!) so I’m afraid it’s a difficult one to do on here. I do cover this privately with my clients so if you wanted a session then I’d be more than happy to help you. All the details are on my website www.mmpersonalstyling.Co.uk Thank you for watching x
Great video again..Awaiting the pear shape one, hopefully to come! Loved the trench coat though probably a neutral colour for me...Been looking for a trench coat.. Have you seen any other nice ones to compare? x
What country are you in Amanda? If it’s the uk then Next have a great one it at the moment. X
Loved this sooo much 🙏
Love the tonal outfit...
Great info! Thanks
inverted triangle here but legs and calves so thick. i don't feel good about exposing my legs and dressing up can sometimes be a real challenge.
Add volume to your lower half to help hide the legs and balance out your top half.
Loved this 👍 I’m taller than Mel at 6ft but could work with some of these colours and styles ….thx 🐰🐰
I’ve just filmed with a 6Ft tall lady! It should be up middle of the week. X
@@mmpersonalstyling Oh thank you 🙏 Can’t wait xxxxx I’ll share on fb there are a couple of tall channels on there ….we all struggle 🤣
What is happening with Mel’s skin?! She is absolutely glowing!!! I wish I looked like her at 37 with a full face of makeup, never mind 51 with not a stitch on. Gorgeous ❤️
I totally agree!
Monty is Gorgeous.❤❤
Awesome 👏 thanks for sharing 🤓
Wow! Loved every outfit and all looked lovely on Mel. Love your videos - learning so much from you. Your styling is so practical without losing the wow factor. Brilliant! Sending best wishes from Down Under❤️❤️🌺🌸🇦🇺😎
Thank you Rhonda, sending best wishes from England!! xx
L💜VE the denim dress!!! And the flower print dress!! I didn’t quite like the double breasted jacket though…it seemed as if she was shrugging her shoulders, although I know she wasn’t. The lapels were pointing right at her shoulders. Just my wee two cents! 💜
Thank you for your feedback, i appreciate it xx
Can’t wait to see what you do with an hourglass 😀. This was very useful video
Coming soon! I filmed a 6ft hourglass a couple of days ago so that should be up in the next few days x
A 6-foot hourglass? Will you be styling her in a coalsack (cos she'd look good in that). Lucky lady!
