I'm a SD 5'11 curvy etc etc I've spent my entire life trying to make myself seem smaller so when I figured out my body type I was like oh no I can't wear these clothes people will notice me more!! But now I'm older and more comfortable with myself and very excited to start dressing to honor my type 🙂 ty for the great recommendations
hi nona:) love ur video ur voice is so soothing. im SD and curvy /hourglass but very soft more “romantic” looking Christina Hendricks type of SD. Monica Bellucci is also a good inspo for the ppl looking for some more youthful or current silhouettes, i use Monica’s 90s/2000s style as inspo all the time 💗i think that sensual Italian style is wonderful for us
thank you!! the comparison you used around -7:04/14:40 helped so much!! I've worn variations of the outfit on the right and it always felt a little off, what you said made so much sense and seeing the practical examples helped a tonne also made me realise i resist a lot of SD stuff because it's too much attention ahahah seeing her in outfits i've worn myself and remembering how much it affects the way people look at you is uhhh 😬 i love wearing those outfits, it's just too much for the lifestyle i have
also! would love to hear your take on colder weather outfits i tend to give up in winter and just wear a massively oversized puffer coat, with the length being the only thing on my side, and thermals jeans and an oversized jumper cause anything else is too cold, but i miss playing with my outfits, i just find that a lot of weather appropriate winter clothing doesn't fit me - knits don't have the same stretch potential so the cute ones are usually too small for my frame and i look squished into them, hence the oversized solution
Much of the Hour Glass was exaggerated by girldles in the 60s , the problem with using celebrities for Body Types is they have usually been manipulated on way or an other. But yes SL is a SD with an hourglass waist great vidi 😎☕💋
Hi Nona, thanks for another insightful video! I resonate a lot with this body type, but do you think it’s possible to be SD and 5’4? I like to think vertical line is more important than height… Either way, these are some lovely style recs to try. 😊
You’re welcome! And yes totally possible! It’s really all about using the IDs like probability clouds to point you in the right direction so you can figure out the most flattering items and combinations that honor your silhouette and persona (if that’s what you want out of clothing.) From the top of my head, I think Mae West was a verified SD icon at 5’1”
I like your describing the IDs as probability clouds. It’s so easy to get caught up in wanting to put myself in a box rather than using the system as a way to free myself. 😅 Thanks for the reply. ❤
Modern trends are definitely polarizing, hence why I definitely focus more on timeless patterns...there's still many designers catering to a more conventionally womanly figure- try ASTR the Label, Lulu's, Reformation, and Windsor.
I use the photos as inspiration. For example the outfit on the left with the white top. At 8:35 that can be recreated with a similar top, and modern flaire jeans. Sometimes just looking at the fabrics or dimensions or lines can help rather then recreating the whole outfit. I see those shirts all the time.

It’s so annoying how there aren’t many or known young Soft Dramatics (ages 19-28).
i agree, im 20 and rarely see women with my body type. Hard to find a more modern or casual style icon in my age range
Is Jameela Jamil a soft dramatic? She's a little bit older than the age bracket you have though
@@sabrinapitt1466 I was just wondering that, I think she more dramatic side , but she dress more soft dramatic style and she does look good in them
Bella Hadid is one,but you’re right most are in there 30s,40s and older
I’m a soft dramatic and I’m 18
When you're SD but live the sweatpants life, it's a real shock to people when you dress formally 😅
I love this comment. It’s so true. When u show up looking like a movie star people are like 👀
I’m 5’10” and have an hourglass body like her! Thanks for the input!
Yay! This is totally me! Thank you for including tips on casual outfits. Us SDs can’t just go out in an evening gown everyday 😑
Hopefully will focus more on casual options in the next SD video! 🙂

So glad you now feel more comfortable and excited about dressing your silhouette :)
You look great in short hair
Thanks so much 🥰
I must agree
Thank you for this ! She’s an absolutely beautiful woman and mostly maintains her sense of style without it looking outdated.
Yes, totally! She is so innately stylish!
can you do examples for soft dramatic with 2022 fashion

Thank you and ah great suggestions for my next SD video!
Facepalm. I can’t believe I thought I was TR for years when this clearly makes way more sense.
i'm glad you found what makes the most sense for you :)
As a soft dramatic, I love this!
i'm so glad :)
I have a body shape just like her!
😍😍
I do too but.im not so tall

The older icons were definitely exaggerated with clothing and lighting and strategic photography!
Could you do a video about different styles like more soft girl outfits for SD or FN?
Yes, more style essence videos coming up soon!
I am tall and curvy like her

I have a similar body to her
Modern fashion is either too masculine or overtly girly it’s hard to find curvy women’s fashion.

This video is kind of unhelpful since Sofia Loren isn't a modern example at all !
Style inspiration can be pulled from any decade.
@@thealignedlover this is not only about inspiration. It's also about having more realistic examples that fit the current world pov.
I use the photos as inspiration. For example the outfit on the left with the white top. At 8:35 that can be recreated with a similar top, and modern flaire jeans. Sometimes just looking at the fabrics or dimensions or lines can help rather then recreating the whole outfit. I see those shirts all the time.
