BODY SHAPE MASTERCLASS 7: How to Style a Large Bust & Apple Stomach. Everyday Woman Stying/UK 14

hi everybody welcome back thank you for tuning in again for those of you that don't know me my name is melissa morrell and i'm a personal stylist for the everyday woman so all of us with lumps bumps and everything else going on as well so today's video is i think it's number seven in the body shape masterclass series so this is where i'm going to be dressing live on camera lovely lady she is a uk size 14 she's got big boobies and she's got an apple shaped tummy and really really slender legs so i'm going to be showing you how i would dress up particularly for this lighter spring summer weather that we are experiencing right now or certainly in england we're experiencing right now so as always everything that i show you today will be linked however the uk links will be under where the video plays but because i always run out of space the american links will be in the very first comment box that you see and i will pin that comment so it always stays at the top so that will include for example what i'm wearing right now which is a little top from river island but this also comes with a matching skirt as well i will put a little insert in there as well to show you and i've just got it on with some mother jeans and these are the tomcat jewelry wise today i've got monica vinoda on again i think i said it right that time thank you for all your help in trying to help me pronounce it i have got on their lovely beaded collection that is out now i think it's like gemstone beaded collection it's beautiful um and then their big pendant and as always i have got my signature bracelet on and my bangle with pearl charm on it and then just a little um square charm as well that i kind of sometimes put on there and sometimes i put on here and all this time i can actually show you my stacking rings as well let me see so i think last video i tried to show these but i hadn't had my nails done so i was hiding them um but these are proving to be a real hit with myself and my clients you can just spread them across your fingers and then you don't need to wear your bracelets that looks really nice but yeah it's just beautiful beautiful jewelry and i find an outfit just isn't complete without these additional items do you have a discount code for you will be under the video or in the comments box depending on whether you're looking for your american links or the uk link so i have a new really inexpensive little tall little styling hack to show you i think it was 3.99 from amazon i will link it below and oh my goodness this is changing my life or rather it's changing my husband's life because i'm no longer having to ask him to help me with my bracelet so how it works is you just grab it by the one end like that and then you hold this in your hand that will then hold it in place and i've got my other hand completely free to attach it absolute genius worth the 3.99 a hundred times over hi everyone this is denise be kind in the comments box because this is a very brave move so thank you very much for doing it for all of those ladies out here um but as you can see denise is how tall are you five foot eight so she has got the advantage of being tall but she's got really good boobs what size are we talking 34 double f 34 double f now i think they're brilliant because obviously i've got no boobs but you find them a little bit really good really really conscious don't you and quite troublesome in getting changed and then what she's got going on under here if we can just pull that top do you mind just going to the side a little bit okay and back around to the front again so denise is very apple shaped sort of there okay so what we mean by that is that she lacks any definition around this torso area and an apple shape is usually quite thick around that area as well and it can often go around to the back area although you don't have any going around the back your thickness sort of starts there and goes under your under your bust area and but as you can see with denise you don't have to be a big lady to have an apple shape and i think it's something you put your arms you don't have to be a big lady to have an apple shape there's a real misunderstanding that you need to have body fat to have an apple shape you don't it's just how your body is structured so it's just that thickness it doesn't matter whether that thickness comes out in a you're a uk 14. yeah so very standard size uk 14 or whether you're a uk 22 or even whether you're a uk 8 you can still have the apple shape it's just the thickness around here and that's different from having just a little bit of a a punch there you know like a menopausal extra bit of weight okay so here we're talking about the thickness and then beautiful beautiful skinny legs as you can see and really long and tall however what i probably are going to show you is that don't get me wrong your skinny legs are gorgeous but what we don't want to do is show too much of the skinny leg because when we show it we're going to look very thin down below and then very block-like all here so in all of these body shaped master classes in all the styling that i do i tell you it's all about balance so what we're trying to do is recreate this hourglass shape we can't do anything about the thickness of her tummy as such we can disguise it but i can't i'm not a what did you say there are magician technician not a magician so i felt that was a really good way of saying it so yes i can disguise it but i can't do anything about it but what i can do something about is balancing this area out i can balance this area so if i broaden up here her bust is going to look smaller and if i broaden around this area her waist is going to go to look smaller what i do find a lot of people do is if their troubled area is their tummy they're always just focused on how to disguise their tummy but actually you need to flip that round and you need to think i can't do much about my tummy my tummy is there but i can broaden this and i can broaden that or in my case i'm paired so i'm heavier here i can't do anything about the width of my thighs but i can do something about the width of my shoulders so flip it on its head and think what part of your body can you do something about rather than what part of your body can't you do something about hope that makes sense does that make sense it does okay all right i think she's probably just being polite i'll have to play it back to see if it makes sense or not okay so the first thing we're going to do is measure her and i will put her measurements up on the screen in a moment and then we're going to get her out of this outfit and straight into the first one we've got a lot of outfits to show today so i'm going to go through them really really quickly okay so we've got our first outfit try and talk you through what i've done and why so starting with the top here now i wanted to show you something here that a lot of people with a big bust will avoid a big pattern or anything that draws the attention upwards but denise has got such a beautiful face i just found out you do makeup tattoo permanent makeup tattooing which is amazing that's why she looks so so fabulous so i didn't want to just put the attention downwards because she's got this beautiful face so i'm spinning things around a little bit so i'm putting the bright color here this tie here on the shirt so when i first got this out a couple of seconds ago she was like no way because it's cropped but what the cropness here is actually helping to create more of a waste the tie is covering up her thickness around her waist and what i've done is i've put a top underneath it watch what happens if i can just you just go like oh sorry if you just put your arms down a second if i take that top up like that what i see then is sort of the the thickness here starts there and ends there so what i mean by that is she looks very straight up and down here when i use a little white top like this and the different layers so that shorter layer on top and pull it down it's almost like her waist now is starting up here and this is where it's ending so it's separating this straight up and straight down part and giving a lot more of this hourglass shape going on and then these jeans here obviously in the lighter color it's showcasing her legs but fantastic kick out flare there that's now balancing out all of this you've then got the color the collar the v-neck it's all helping to separate along the bust line and not forgetting the necklace here that is also just helping to separate the chest area as well because if we do you mind us stripping you back a second so if we strip her back so even just taking the necklace off there if we open this up so that's the base layer of what we're working with and i don't think you mind me saying you feel very uncomfortable like that that's not the shape that she wants to represent so we have added some bulk on top but we've also made sure that we added this tightness around there so that we've got the different layers going on so it's different interest because when you go tight on top and tight on the bottom as well you're just going to exaggerate your um straight up and straight down parts okay so next we've got this really really great jumpsuit i think it's looking absolutely perfect on her or just saying for like a day out with your daughter anything really is it yeah just really easy apart from when you go to the loo you will be sitting there with your boobies out when you go to the loo it's the only disadvantage but um why is it working obviously the tie around the waist she can hire that up so it would come in more of a bus line but we've got volume round here so it's balancing out that top half if this was really sort of tight and skinny like that she'd look more squarish on top so here's the volume it's showing the ankles it's going lovely with the trainers and the little bag notice that we're still using a necklace but when we pull that off even though she's got buttons which does go somewhere to split in that area up the color being a dark navy and can be quite overpowering on people so if you just put a bit of a necklace down there it just helps to lighten and freshen that area up we've also got another jumpsuit so i'm going to insert that at the side but that works for all the same reasons as well okay so next we have this beautiful white dress from bowdoin it's available internationally by the way we've got a bag from martin spencer's and some shoes from mars and spencers and the little necklace going on now i love this just got pockets you know how i love pockets so pockets just give that really sort of relaxed look to it don't they so i love it just like that but denise was saying that she feels quite big in it still don't you for anybody who really just wants that casual lovely summer's dress really really cool then this is brilliant so if we put a belt on now i would usually put it right under the bust line if you've got a very big apple uh apple tummy but denise's apple tummy isn't too big at all so she's probably got a choice of levels of where to put it and i do often leave this bit to a client because a client can often feel where their natural line is oh how are you feeling now it feels a little bit high okay so you want to pull it down a bit you you pull pull down pull to your area that you like so you trust yourself you will know where that line is where it feels most comfortable let me have a look so she's found her natural waistline now i can say oh i think it looks better pulled up but if that's where you feel that it's comfortable then that's where you wear it but that looks equally as beautiful so whether you let it hang loose or tie a belt then that dress works really really well for anybody who's trying to disguise that tummy area where it doesn't work well i'm gonna take the bag off you you just stand in front of me for a second okay i need to do this carefully so that i um don't flash her if we go shorter like that i'm sorry the demonstration isn't that great but what i want to show is we often think because we've got really slender legs that that's what we need to show and that's probably what you read in every styling magazine show the legs highlight the bits that you do like however when we highlight those legs too much it's actually going to make her look bigger on top especially so if we didn't have the belt on so let's just strip her down okay can you see that the legs are now sticking out and they are super slender and all of this is going to look a lot bigger so you need the length in a dress because it's the length that's giving us this volume around there and her legs if you just take a step back for me a second so they can see your wife to your feet so it's the length here that's giving us the volume that we need to balance out her bust and balance out her tummy and shoulder area so don't go too short on your on your dress length is the point i'm trying to make okay so next we've got on a really really simple dress it's very much if anybody saw my how to hide a big stomach video that i did in the past i'll put a link up to that now i showed a whistles dress that everybody went for straight away and it sold out with that within minutes this is very similar to that but it's just from marx and spencer so you can see it just hangs it's really easy an ideal world i'd like to see a little bit shorter i think maybe just like that just to show a little bit more of the leg but denise likes it with a belt around which you're actually quite unusual because most apple shaped ladies don't like belts around here so that's why i wanted to show it you how it just hangs normally as opposed to how it hangs with the belt but let's put the belt on and show you that so there it is with the belt so if you position your belt in under your bust if that's your smallest part but if it's not your smallest part just keep lowering it until it is and it's then a very very different look and we've paired it with a little bit of a heel but you could easily just put that for a summer's day with a flip-flop a haviana or anything like that again the necklace take away the necklace and she's going to look very busty here add the necklace and it all helps to reshape this really nice we were just saying perfect for the airport traveling type of outfit from mango obviously a cohort set that there's no reason why you couldn't just wear the trousers with a white top it's got this knot detail on that we're really liking if i can just take the bag off you for a moment just so i can show the audience and we've pulled down this top again because again when we just left that up like that it was just sort of a blue mass and it didn't give her any waistline so it's a very simple technique just pull it down just by about an inch or so not much and it just separates the outfit up and just looks really really nice and really casual so i'll put the links in as you okay so now we've got a traditional smocktop with the peplum and the reason i wanted to show you this is because a lot of you say to me my tummy is lower and my tummy is bigger than the model that you showed so i just wanted to show you that a top like this comes down right to her the bottom of her private area and it completely covers that so if you are that person that's got the lower tummy then this type of top does really really well what you do have to make sure is that the sleeves aren't coming in line with your bust if your bust is particularly big if your bust is small however and you want to balance this out then you want to put the sleeves there does that make sense yes okay so oh sorry about that that's just monty knocking the lights and everything obviously got an itch so on denise here we want the sleeves to be lower than her bust so we're leaving them at that three-quarter length i just wanted to show you here we've got another kick flare jean on that we've got a cropped version on now if i was to pull that jean back like i don't know how effective that is but like that what we're then going to see is that her legs are going to look really skinny and she's going to look really block-like on top so you do if you're adding the volume around here like this you need to add the volume down here as well and showing the ankle is just always really nice and feminine okay so this is the type of linen top i find a lot of people are wearing in order to try and cover their tummy up but for me personally i think denise looks a lot broader it is helped slightly because we've got this kick-out flare but what i usually see is somebody in a tight legging like that monty i'm trying to show everybody get out of the way um so get out the way come on up here sorry about that most the time i see somebody in a tight jean and a big baggy top like that and she just lost all her shape completely so at the very minimum what we could do is give her a little bit of a tuck and to give her a little bit more shape but generally speaking that is just way too broad for her against her skinny legs so you've just always got to think about how you're balancing your entire frame out so it's a no from me but you still look gorgeous so we have now stuck with the smocking which i think is actually looking really beautiful on her but we've just got the little thin straps here and then this is like it's like a cheese coffee sort of fabric but it's super super light brilliant for going over a swimming costume but it's yeah really cool but it's not so see-through that you couldn't wear it in the daytime perfect length just again put it with the same brown shoe lovely little brown handbag as well from mars and spencer's that was 25 pounds we've used the necklace again to separate it so if i just pull that away that kind of looks a little bit sort of too much of an expanse area so we pop that down and that just helps to break it up i'm thinking the fact that we're showing some of her skin is actually helping the eye line sort of draw into these beautiful areas and i don't know about you audience or you but i haven't thought about your tummy once perfect so really really good option there as well now what i've just done really quickly is swapped the bags and the reason for that is i want to create the volume around here and i want to create some distraction and when she had the little bag on um i was still sort of looking at this sort of straight area here where the bigger bag is helping to balance everything else out so so my advice would be if you are a little bit straighter in the skirt rather than a line then go for a bigger bag but if you've got lots of volume around here that you've created you can go for a smaller twinning again oh we're also being joined by monty as well sorry about that okay so hopefully he's not too much in the way white jumpsuits both from zara as you can see i have dressed mine with a different belt this is the belt that actually comes on the jumpsuit this belt is also from oh sorry hello sorry it's rather distracting um so this belt is also from zara but this is the belt that actually comes on the jumpsuit i've popped mine on with a little bit of a heel but as you can see i wanted to show that the same jumpsuit works really really well on denise but in a lot more of a casual manner so matching the brown here just with the belt and obviously the pair of shoes but the reason it's working on denise's frame is because obviously the deep v-neck that is helping to half the bust area we've got strong shoulders and we haven't mentioned that so far but in everything that we've put on we've wanted to try and build a little bit of strength here because if you go broader here it makes the bus look smaller so you're very comfortable putting a belt on your waistband aren't you where i know a lot of people aren't so you can sort of move it about you know go straight under the bus for example if you wanted to now the only disadvantage we're seeing in this jumpsuit is can you see i don't know if you can see it so far away but there's like a lining let me come closer there's a lining on here that on me comes to sort of under my bust line but on denise it's kind of cutting her bust line so it's not a major thing it's something that might bother some people but the white trousers here balancing out the top perfect combination for a nice summer event all just other day yeah we like it so we are twinning who'd have thought that you would have got somebody with no boobs in the same dress as somebody with an absolutely cracking pair of boobs and probably to be honest not to me so i'm surprised but i just think she looks beautiful in this and i think the reason it's working is because obviously it's showing off her beautiful bust line but it's almost halving her bust line because of the shape if this dress sort of started up here like that then her bust will start from there and come all the way down so it makes it look bigger it's a bit like if you put a polo neck jumper on i bet you you feel a lot bustier don't you so the more skin we're showing here the the smaller her bust is going to look it's obviously pulling her in at the waist right under the bustline and we've got the beautiful widths are over here that is just skimming over her tummy and it's adding the volume where we need it to um it's gorgeous at the back obviously if you have got a little bit of back fat then maybe the cut out there won't be for you um it's got pockets we love pockets don't we okay really quick change all she's done is put this lovely blazer on from zara some heel shoes we've give her a sort of a nicer delicate um handbag for a lovely wedding a christening just a really nice summer event okay so next outfit super super casual we've just got on these green cropped trousers they're from zara i purposely went for something that's got pockets in to add some volume around here super comfy elasticated waist just a plain t-shirt but the t-shirt is like a lovely sort of modal soft fabric isn't it and then this beautiful cardigan which is actually a really thin linen cardigan it's from phase eight but what this is doing is helping to add further volume around here and then we've got a bag here which we're just matching in from arquette and some estradiol trainers down below so generally speaking i think that looks amazing but what i keep having to stop denise from doing is this because when she does that look how it exaggerates the bust can you see that if we so like that like that and i see it all the time with ladies trying to do that it is going to make you look broader on top okay i swapped the cardigan which was that lovely linen cardigan for a really nice long bench coat and again the trench coat is just adding the volume around this area if i was to have gone for a short denim coat for example like that can you see now how you can see this area that she's trying to avoid you can see the straightness or the thickness that an apple shape brings that's why we want the volume hanging down like that so next we have these wide leg trousers from zara they're kind of like in a silky really lovely fabric aren't they and really cool and light for a summer's day and we've just paired them with the espresso trainers and i've got quite tight on top and that's because i do want to follow her curves down so what i don't want to do is go wide on the bottom and wide on the top so we can afford to follow her shape down but still broaden this area and that's what i'm hoping to achieve with this look here and i think it looks lovely around her bust line but denise isn't one for frills so she said this just just doesn't feel like her and that's what i have to do as a stylist it's not just about what fits your shape and what puts you into this perfect hourglass shape it's what my client likes or dislikes so it might be that some of you write in the comments so i didn't like that top on her or i didn't like that pair of trousers but my client likes that top or like that pair of trousers or doesn't so that's the way in which i have to respond it's not just always about what you think looks good or not it's what they want to wear as well so we're going to change the top and see if she's happier in that so today's is a lot more comfortable in this aren't you which is just a really thin linen desktop from mango i really like that sort of look because it's a lot more casual i think it looks just as nice so it depends whether you want to follow your shape down or not and finally we've got this lovely dress from zara great shape on her i didn't think this would work because if for example it didn't have the halternick here and if it just sort of went up like that then it was go it would have made her boobs look really really big but the fact that it's sort of exposing this part of her arm here is actually cutting into her bustline and making her bust line look smaller it would just sense just such an easy throw on dress isn't it you've got the extra volume obviously around here so you've got the tears starting from the point that we want to have it from that adds the volume so again a beautiful dress i did want to show you though as well if we went shorter on this dress so that sort of level would be really nice it would work just as well but the shorter we go the more blocked we're going to make her look so she's got beautiful legs but you almost don't want to show too much of them off because the contrast between the slimless of the legs and the torso is such that it's going to make her generally look big all the way over so that's it for today's video thank you for watching thank you to denise for being such a great sport thank you to you monty for getting in the way every five minutes if you could press that subscribe button i would be very grateful and i look forward to seeing you again next week thank you bye
