aww sis stawwppp it! I love being here truly its women like you that make me happy to be in a community like this! Watch this space things are coming!!
God bless dear, I broke up with my guy cus he was always body shaming me,I tried so hard trying to lose weight I ended up on a hospital bed.i gave up on myself now I'm married and he cherishes and values me just the way I am ,don't kill urself u are amazing just the way you are
Thank you for sharing this. I'm single but no man that I've ever been with has shamed my body. Its only been me. I've been tearing myself down even when I've lost the weight. I've constantly found something to tear myself apart about. I'm going to work on that starting TODAY. I appreciate the kind & loving words that you commented. There's always someone that can use the encouragement. 💙💙💙
I'm in my early 60's and I grew up learning that you dress to hide your flaws and accentuate your best parts. It is refreshing to see a young lady teaching this. 😍💯👍🏾
I can relate to this 100%!! I grew up feeling ashamed of my size and so I spent more than 35 years trying (or what I thought was hiding) my fat, most especially my belly. I'm turning 62 this July. I had zero confidence in myself for so many years!
finally someone addressing how to dress your fabulous body with taste instead of theses influencers wearing anything because its in their size thank you
1. Love that you are modeling both of the "do" and "don't" clothes. The comparison on the same body really helps! 2. Recap at the end w/the split screen allowed me to focus on the silhouette differences and understand your points. 3. The supportive comments about "walking in your fabulousness" was wonderful. I worked at a boutique, and now in a department store. Women of every shaoe/size do not take control of their clothes. It's discouraging to watch/hear. But like you, I reaffirm their unique awesomeness (after all, there's only one of them!) and remind them clothes work for us, not the other way around.
YOU are exactly what I needed this week. I gained a good amount of weight, 30 plus pounds, since menopause. Recently I saw an aquainatance and she asked if I was working from home now. I said no Ive never worked from home. She laughed and said I figured with your weight gain you were forced to work from home and sitting too close to the refridgerator now..... I was already pretty unhappy with how I look. This sent me spiraling.
The nerve of that woman! How dare she say that to you? I swear it seems adults have reverted to back their sparky, mean teenage selves! Don't you hold onto that! No one knows better the journey you're traveling better than yourself. Whenever I start reliving awful moments, I shut it right down. And find one positive thing to shift to and carry on. It takes practice. 🎉🎉🎉
No matter ur age or what ur body is going through, she had no rights to say anything about it. Then she had even fewer rights to say it like that. I hope u wont take it at heart too much. But i know it's difficult not to, so i send u virtual strenght, butterflies and hearts cuz u deserve it no matter how u look ^^
I just clicked on the link out of curiosity. What you're doing is much-needed and you do it with such grace that you easily connect with your audience to accept themselves and believe that it's possible to do what you're suggesting!👏👏
I have yet to pick a wedding date because I wish to lose weight first. But now I think I can just do it. And style myself at the weight God has for me now with help and motivation from all of you. Thank you for this video and for all the comments. 🙏🏽
You will be stunning!! Note If you're plus size, try to find a bridal boutique that specializes in plus size brides. I did a quick Google search for my area and found at least 2 within comfortable driving distance. Remember, You are beautiful and will be stunning.
As an anorexic in recovery I found myself going from size 6 (aus size) to a size 16-18 in the last 8 years. Adapting my wardrobe and learning how to dress for my body type has helped me feel a lot better. I caught a glimpse of me in a reflective glass window wearing a body con dress last week and it sent me spiraling into a depression. Thank you so much for your advice and guidance. I’ll be learning to dress my body type and be healthy, fit and strong vs starving myself and exercising trying to reach an unhealthy and unrealistic version of my old sick self. Bless ❤
Same happened to me. I’m depressed now and have been for exactly 1 month. I truly don’t like this weight but maybe if could learn how to dress I’ll feel better.
@@honeyisnatural5 I'm in the same place. I was never "small" to begin with but now have fibroids causing me to look 9 months pregnant and struggling with depression. I pray that we all will be able to beat depression and love ourselves and the people who genuinely love us. We need to recondition ourselves that what society deems as sexy / beautiful isn't real! It's fantasy resulting in the increase of plastic surgery, etc. So many women are literally dying trying to keep up with society's influencer s. We also need to stop judging others and focus more on being healthy- no matter the dress size. Blessings to all you beautiful women!
THANK YOU! You made me cry! I’ve been hating my over 50 menopausal body and feeling ugly and worthless. You have me hope! You are right! The best parts of me are not my body parts.
I am a 56 y.o. Canadian white woman who has struggled with dressing my shape ALL MY LIFE! You are speaking to me too and I thank you for your tips and advice. Continue the good work.
@@hellenkarugia8372 what does skin colour have to do with size. Stating the obvious to say different ethnicities can have similar problems. We are all human so obviously we have a HUMANbody. It was irrelevant
@@Kim-ok5tn Why shouldn't it matter. Black women tend to have bigger bottoms (envy), and are much more proud of their bodies. Many of us white women are embarrassed at gaining weight, and dress all wrong.
Girl. This got me at the end, I almost teared up! I put on some weight after my mom passed last year and I’ve been having a hard time with that. Your words were a balm. Thank you ❤️❤️
I just found you and click on your channel due to the fact you was talking about myself ? I've gain some weight in my stomach and waist due to me being a cook and eating on the run? I cried a little when you said Sis and Queen, you are worthy . That made me say to myself stop sitting in the house because I am " Thick" in some places and that I have to learn house to shop for my shape and stop wearing over- size clothing. So I say that to say ( Thank you Queen for thinking of us over size woman. Oh yeah I am a New Follower
Omg, I can reallly relate to you😭 Mum passed too and I was just really down and months passed I realized my clothes don't fit anymore. I'm scared to go out. Glad I found this video too. Cheers to future and confidence with our bodies🤗🥂
RUclips should have recommended this channel to me ages ago. I needed to hear her message. She's a queen making other women realize that they are queens like her.
Yes yes yes girl these are the BEST tips for us chunkier ladies! I know so many ladies my size that wear clothes that are so wrong for their body shape and call it being "body positive"...there is nothing wrong with body positivity but wearing clothes that are to small or look really bad on a certain shape is not body positive...it's just making poor decisions. Our larger bodies are gorgeous and I believe we should wear clothes that flatter our beautiful bodies.
I wish you could know how much I look forward to your videos. I had commented on a previous one how I had been married for 26 years and I was not allowed to wear anything pretty or that fit. Watching your videos makes me feel like I've had a whole new world opened to me. Thank you for broadening my fashion choices.
I somehow ended up on an influencer discussing all the things certain ages should not wear and how it makes you look cheap, so I watched 2 more with pretty much the same message, I was nearly yelling at my screen at these women. lol You my dear are a Beautiful breath of fresh air. Thank You
5:28 I am balling my eyes out. Thank you for saying this. I’ve gained so much weight during Covid. I’ve become a hermit. I want/need to believe I still have value.
You do have value. Being overweight or obese does not make you less of a person. I have gained weight from steroids and I spent a long time hiding. Now I don't care what people think of my looks.
@@awander9314 Thank you for taking time to send your kind words. I have worked on restoring my self confidence and loving my new curves this year. Weird thing is that as I learn to love my new and evolving self, little by little the weight is falling off.
It is so important for young girls to see their moms feeling beautiful and wearing what make her feel confident. Many of us women grew up with moms who had unhealthy relationships with their bodies and did not know how to dress in flattering clothes. Because they didn't have that knowledge of what looks great on them, they couldn't pass that on to us. Thank you for your help!
This is so true. I grew up in the 90s, when moms all had pixie cuts, and wore unflattering boxy mom jeans with running sneakers. (Not like the cuter mom jeans of today.) Because she was a second wave feminist and working motherher, there was zero encouragement for me to be feminine growing up. I had to learn it myself as a teenager and an adult.
What you said about following creators with similar body types is so true. I get to see myself as opposed to wearing or trying something that will never look good on me but looks great on the creator. That is such an important tip.
Great video. In this age of "always positive", it's nice to see someone address "dressing for your body type" and showing how fly you can make your flaws look.
Thank you for the “you are worthy” talk towards the end♥️. This is the first time I’ve seen you nd your channel and I’m lifted by your content and positive message. Thank you.🥰
Open RUclips and there you were this pretty dark face. I listened and was encouraged, I am one to put on loose-fitting tees and call it a day. I think I want to try some of your ideas now, 69yrs ain't too old to learn and get my groove back! You are definitely a God send to me and countless others. God bless you, and may He continue to use you to keep us inspired!
Thank you for addressing. Quite often, people think you are attacking them, for their size or body shaming. Not at all but there is a difference between chic and distasteful. I'm a slendour body, and believe me, not everything suits me. Self love has many elements that also includes tailoring what suits you, not what is in fashion. On another note, you are beautiful and Ray of sunshine to watch 🧡🧡🧡🧡
Thank you so much for these tips I just hit 40 and my body has seemed to change and trying to style as if I was 21 was only bumming me out. So this video just gave me so many useful tips that I am definitely going to apply!!! Thanks boo!
Thanks for the tips, but thanks even more for putting out such a beautiful message of self acceptance, love, and body positivity. We all need more of that❤️
You are adorable. As a 72 year old white woman with belly fat that I cannot get rid of, your advice is really good. People think that I am really slim because I wear artfully applied clothing. I agree with you that you need clothes that fit. Since I sew I can make alterations to make the clothes fit. Sometimes I get impatient and I don’t want to do that but I know it’s the right thing to do.
You came in my feed, listened 2 seconds and subscribed lol. We still need to have women who influence wearing well fitted pieces and the proper undergarments. Keep up the good work!🌷❤️
Instead of buying many things, invest the money in upgrading the fit. You find good quality item that you like, go and ask your tailor if it can be done. Don't have a tailor yet? Buy fewer things and invest the money into looking fabulous in your costom fitted clothes.
I can count on one hand how often I watch these types of videos and certainly don't comment. But your video called out to me. I'm SO THANKFUL it did! I have always been the skinny girl you know, the one that was "fine" back in the day. Even after four kids, even after quitting meth after 20 years of using I still stayed thin. Well, maybe not thin, but certainly not overweight. Then I turned 45. And all hell broke loose. I started menopause, I got diabetes, you name it... it was one thing after another. I had always been very active and didn't have bad eating habits, but I developed them and now I am a whopping 230 lb.at 5'4" ( used to be 5'7" and 140 ...found out I had scoliosis as well ) And unfortunately for me with my genetic pool, both my mother and father's side all gain weight in the belly. So I basically look like an olive stuck on two toothpicks. God has blessed me with a great sense of humor and my way of dealing with it was making the jokes before anybody else could but I noticed after watching your video that I'm dressing like I used to and finding out that it just isn't working... And no amount of jokes is going to change that. I'm starting to not be that outgoing and social girl that used to be and I don't want that to change! it can't change! it's one of the most beautiful qualities I have so after watching your video I'm just going to surrender that this is who I am now and I'm okay with me as far as what's on the inside because I worked so hard through my rehab in these last decades that I've been clean to be the beautiful woman that I know I am and I feel more beautiful than I've ever felt in my life "on the inside" I just want the outside to match. I keep telling myself I had my days of beauty and all that so I need to just let go of it and now all I wear are leggings and big baggy t-shirts and that's not who I am! I was always such a wonderful dresser I don't mean to be conceited I'm just saying... I think I'm finally believing that I don't have to be that thin girl to be that beautiful woman and to be honest I don't want to attract the same attention now that I got back then. Lol that wasn't nothing but trouble! So thank you for getting me to take that first step and understand and admit that I am still beautiful it's just a different chapter and that I can still look nice. But now I have no idea where to shop I am unable to work now and literally have no money at best I can save up to buy something at Walmart but do they even have clothes specifically for my type? Where do I begin and how do I even shop for clothes that I know nothing about? I only know the type of clothes I used to wear I don't really have any friends that could take me that are in my situation or overweight so I don't really have anything to compare to all I have is my 73 year old mother who dresses nothing like I would ever dress LOL but still thinks that I should dress like her. Anyway if you could help me that would be great
You made a whole extra person. If someone says anything to you about your size, ask them if they enjoy breathing and to go apologize to their mother. Your size does not determine your worth.
First ever seeing this channel. I believe you have just 'saved my life'. I've been dressing like a bum for the last 20 years. I'd look at other +size women and wonder, 'Where do THEY shop?). I gave up shopping bcos of money and just looked like the stores sold the ugliest, circus tents. Now, I have direction. MOST OF ALL Your affirmations at the end were very powerful. I know these things. I should be speaking them aloud daily.
Fantastic video “IT’S OK” ……. At 59 getting fit means rediscovering me because what was great when I was younger has to accommodate my “tummy” now. Yes it is getting smaller but it’s exciting watching videos like this that teach me how to dress MY BODY SHAPE

Great video as always!! Even though I am no longer in the voluptuous size category, I still follow your advice on fashion it has never steered me wrong. A million times thank you!! 💕
@@SuppleChicTV so true. When you find someone who's style & chic personality match the way you want to look & feel each day why not continue to support them. Always inspiring!! 💕
i love this woman i am so self conscious of my body being over wieght and a tummy i struggle so much trying to look nice and sort my weight out thankyou for your comments
So glad this video showed up in my feed. My best friend and I are shopping for “mother of the groom” dresses. Your tips make so much sense! We just want to look fabulous when our boys get married. Thanks also for the affirmations.❤️
I had post this! I see too many women, especially young girls, with the belly fat/muffin-top just free-falling. I have the belly-fat/fupa and I'm very self-conscious when I'm in public or people come over. I have an entirely different posture (suck in). I just do it without even thinking about it now. It's like a natural response.
This is the bed channel of its kind that I’ve ever seen! Modeling the Do’s and Don’ts, side by side, really helps me get what you’re talking about. Other channels tell you, but I can’t visualize what they mean. When they only show the Do’s, I can’t tell the difference. New sub!
When your showing a don't it would be nice if you showed how to make a don't a do. It helps me. Like that oversized pink dress you had on...how could you make it work if you already own that piece??
@@SuppleChicTV Yes it would be but I would love if you would do a video on it. I am learning to embrace my curves and how to make them look visually appealing. I have some pieces I know are not working for me so this would be a nice way to work them!
I take a cotton neck scarf those long ones, twist it and use as a belt it works for me, just don’t pull the belt too tight let it droop slightly to the side not in front hope that helped
Gather the shirt in the back until it's as form-fitting as you like. Fold the shirt over once (left or right) and put the belt on while keeping that fold. After you secure the belt, gently tug on the shirt so that it falls at the same place all the way around. Adjust the shirt at the back of necessary. Hope that helps. 💜 I absolutely LOVE statement belts and I do this all he time with tunics to make them look like dresses.
Thank you for telling everyone that they are worthy and have value. Our own self esteem can defeat us. You are so positive and I again want to thank you for purporting all the woman with problems.
I’m having good luck with eShakti dresses for getting the proportions right. They take your height with each item, and for ~$10 you can adjust the sleeves, neckline, and/or hem, so the dress will fit you right to begin with. Just found your channel and love it! 🥇Thanks for the straight talk.
I truly appreciate this post. I’ve gained a lot of tummy fat since starting the pill and doing my undergraduate studies. I’m now working at a primary school and it’s not that I care what people think but I’ve had some kids fat shame me. There’s only so many times you hear it before it starts to affect your view of self. This was exactly what I needed to hear 💛
I am glad you are teaching what lines should flatter bigger women instead of encouraging what I call trashy looks. I mean, I am tired of the phrase "body positivity" and equating it with wearing anything you like even if the look is not flattering to the figure or making you look trashy instead of classy.
@@SuppleChicTV I know. Body positivity doesn't mean we should look like a streetwalker because we are not afraid to show off our body parts, and this goes for small or big women, LOL. But I hope body positivity should go back to its original meaning of accepting your body shape without being too in your face about it. Plus, there is also no harm if we do eat healthier and dress classier :)
@@SuppleChicTV To be more specific, different widths of belts, and the correct placement meaning under the breast or at your midsection. I know everyone has a different body shapes but bow do you know where to place your belt when one has a fuller stomach How does one wear a belt so it flattering to your body. I’ve stayed away from belts because they seem to make my waist look wider than it is. Hope that helps.
@@SuppleChicTV Forgot to add when speaking of where to place your belt will differ if one is short or long waisted. Can you share which one you are and how you wear belts. I think that will be a great video!!
❤️love this information I am in the category with the belly the large girls but I do try to address these pretty no much as you said THANK YOU VERY MUCH🙏🏽❤️❤️
Sign me up! Randomly came across your channel and am a fan already! I'm 63 yrs old and weigh 150 lbs but my postpartum belly ( yeah after my two babies yrs ago nothing was the same) I have already gone thru my wardrobe and thrown out the no nos. Just wonderful you are!
Thank you so much for this video; I've been feeling a little frustrated because I gain weight. You're a blessing to all women for encouraging every women to look her best in what she wears.
Your so welcome Im glad the video resonated it is my absolute pleasure to be a positive voice in the midst of all the perfectionism we see on social xx
@@SuppleChicTV Hi, paid to work with you, we especially like your youtube channel. I am an amazon seller. We find your youtube videos very creative, our company would like to work with you, I would like to invite you to take photos and videos of my products, about the cost of cooperation, our company can pay you, I sent you an email, looking forward to your reply!
Thank God for you. I'm from the UK, and some stuff the plus-size woman wears will shock you. I'm a plus-size woman. I always wear appropriate clothing for my size. I have taken some serious tips from you. Thank you so much ❤
Good morning, thank you for the great content and the words of encouragement. Because of your channel I have slowly been upgrading my undergarments and changing my style. Again, keep up the great work!!
I think also a biig factor in how you look in a piece is your posture and confidence. If you look at her in the "bad" outfits, she is kinda hunching and not smiling at all. Then in the "good" outfits shes confident, straight up and smiling. It actually makes a huge difference and I think most of those first outfits would look as fine if you dont treat yourself worse in them :))
Wow…. You are a pretty girl who has great style. When I was a young woman, no one was giving advice to us larger girls. It would have boosted my confidence. What a good thing you are doing!
🎉🎉🎉 Thank you for informing women how important it is to look good and, to wear the right foundation is important. I was brought up by church women and designers that when a woman step out the door, she should always glamorize her self even if it's Vaseline on the lips.
Omggg your inspirational words made me so teary-eyed. Thank you for the encouragement 💛!! I definitely needed these tips. I hate shopping because I'm too big for regular size stores and too small for plus size. I'm 5'3, 38/40DDD, (no hips😳😒), and a flat ass. Currently a size 14 or xl.
I love this video so much! After 4 kids + diastasis I have no clue how to dress my body. I ordered some high waisted jeans after this. Hoping they help! Thank you!!! ❤️
Oh wow, you are truly great at this. I have watched others try to do a video on something that I am desperate to hear but they just do not have the talent for doing this (me neither). You start out high energy and stick on point (or on message), you never waffle and don't take all day to start getting to the issue at hand. There are more but my sister is a strategic communications expert and I have learned through her that there is a LOT more to this than just getting up and talking. You do a fantastic job. AND the issue is a very important one. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this video. Between MENTALpause and recently finding out I have an under active thyroid, I have gained a lot of belly weight/fat. I pretty much was on point except for the "baggy dress". I live in those lol But, thanks to you, I now know better. I have subscribed to your channel 💛
Ha! Good to see someone else referring to it as the mentalpause! My consultant was checking over symptoms with me and flat out asked me if i'd come close to wanting to kill anyone 😂😂
Thanks for this wonderful tips on dressing. Its quite annoying though when I see some people with flappy belly still wearing clothed that shows it off all in the name of being confident about themselves. This will surely go a long way in bringing back our dress sense. Kudos

We also need to stop judging others and focus more on being healthy- no matter the dress size. Blessings to all you beautiful women!
This was refreshing amongst the sea of influencers squeezing into fashion nova.
And Shein
Squeezing 🤣
Great advice!!!
Well that just summed up life,lol!!! I am screaming!
THANK YOU! You made me cry! I’ve been hating my over 50 menopausal body and feeling ugly and worthless. You have me hope! You are right! The best parts of me are not my body parts.
Me too sis. This video helped me very much too.
I am a 56 y.o. Canadian white woman who has struggled with dressing my shape ALL MY LIFE! You are speaking to me too and I thank you for your tips and advice. Continue the good work.
Why does your skin colour matter when the video is about shape
@@Kim-ok5tn Maybe she talked about color to acknowledge that different ethnicity can have same problems.
@@hellenkarugia8372 what does skin colour have to do with size. Stating the obvious to say different ethnicities can have similar problems. We are all human so obviously we have a HUMANbody. It was irrelevant
@@Kim-ok5tn Why shouldn't it matter. Black women tend to have bigger bottoms (envy), and are much more proud of their bodies. Many of us white women are embarrassed at gaining weight, and dress all wrong.
Girl. This got me at the end, I almost teared up! I put on some weight after my mom passed last year and I’ve been having a hard time with that. Your words were a balm. Thank you ❤️❤️
I just found you and click on your channel due to the fact you was talking about myself ? I've gain some weight in my stomach and waist due to me being a cook and eating on the run? I cried a little when you said Sis and Queen, you are worthy . That made me say to myself stop sitting in the house because I am " Thick" in some places and that I have to learn house to shop for my shape and stop wearing over- size clothing. So I say that to say ( Thank you Queen for thinking of us over size woman. Oh yeah I am a New Follower
May the LORD JESUS console your heart dearest
Omg, I can reallly relate to you😭 Mum passed too and I was just really down and months passed I realized my clothes don't fit anymore. I'm scared to go out. Glad I found this video too. Cheers to future and confidence with our bodies🤗🥂
My sincere condolences to you regarding your terrible loss. 🙏
So sorry to hear your mom passed, hope you'll be okay❤❤
Ever since i started watching your videos i switched myself 360 degrees around.
i lost the love for clothes till i started using your advice.
Boo I'm so glad to hear that my videos inspired you to make a change for you. Really appreciate you sharing this with me and that your here xx
RUclips should have recommended this channel to me ages ago. I needed to hear her message. She's a queen making other women realize that they are queens like her.
Yes yes yes girl these are the BEST tips for us chunkier ladies! I know so many ladies my size that wear clothes that are so wrong for their body shape and call it being "body positive"...there is nothing wrong with body positivity but wearing clothes that are to small or look really bad on a certain shape is not body positive...it's just making poor decisions. Our larger bodies are gorgeous and I believe we should wear clothes that flatter our beautiful bodies.
I couldnt agree more thanks for watching dont be a stranger now xx
I love your positive attitude and it's nice to see a plus-sized woman giving fashion tips based on her own experiences!
I don’t know why you came across my feed today but I’m so glad you did. Definitely needed this today. Thank you
I wish you could know how much I look forward to your videos. I had commented on a previous one how I had been married for 26 years and I was not allowed to wear anything pretty or that fit.
Watching your videos makes me feel like I've had a whole new world opened to me.
Thank you for broadening my fashion choices.
I somehow ended up on an influencer discussing all the things certain ages should not wear and how it makes you look cheap, so I watched 2 more with pretty much the same message, I was nearly yelling at my screen at these women. lol You my dear are a Beautiful breath of fresh air. Thank You
5:28 I am balling my eyes out. Thank you for saying this. I’ve gained so much weight during Covid. I’ve become a hermit. I want/need to believe I still have value.
You do have value. Being overweight or obese does not make you less of a person. I have gained weight from steroids and I spent a long time hiding. Now I don't care what people think of my looks.
@@awander9314 Thank you for taking time to send your kind words. I have worked on restoring my self confidence and loving my new curves this year. Weird thing is that as I learn to love my new and evolving self, little by little the weight is falling off.
It is so important for young girls to see their moms feeling beautiful and wearing what make her feel confident. Many of us women grew up with moms who had unhealthy relationships with their bodies and did not know how to dress in flattering clothes. Because they didn't have that knowledge of what looks great on them, they couldn't pass that on to us. Thank you for your help!
This is so true. I grew up in the 90s, when moms all had pixie cuts, and wore unflattering boxy mom jeans with running sneakers. (Not like the cuter mom jeans of today.) Because she was a second wave feminist and working motherher, there was zero encouragement for me to be feminine growing up. I had to learn it myself as a teenager and an adult.
You’re so fly Queen. Glad YT recommended your page. 💜
Girl stawwwp it! So glad you found us! Welcome to fam xx
When you said “it’s OK if you have a belly” I started to cry. Out of the blue! Phew!! I guess I needed to hear that. Thank you. ❤
I would never have thought to wear a high waist with my big tummy. I am going to follow you. Thanks for the great info.
You are so pretty!!
What you said about following creators with similar body types is so true. I get to see myself as opposed to wearing or trying something that will never look good on me but looks great on the creator. That is such an important tip.
AMEN 🙏
Thank you for giving us a dose of kindness, encouragement, and self confidence in addition to practical fashion advice🙌!!!
Wow, the change in moving up the waist of your jeans was earth shattering!
Great video. In this age of "always positive", it's nice to see someone address "dressing for your body type" and showing how fly you can make your flaws look.
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
@@franklinstephen3268 I'm well and you?
Thank you for the “you are worthy” talk towards the end♥️. This is the first time I’ve seen you nd your channel and I’m lifted by your content and positive message. Thank you.🥰
Same!
Same❤️
Are you mixed Ghanaian
All I can say is thank you, thank you, thank you! I’m very guilty of the big baggy clothes.
Hello how are you doing?
Open RUclips and there you were this pretty dark face. I listened and was encouraged, I am one to put on loose-fitting tees
and call it a day. I think I want to try some of your ideas now, 69yrs ain't too old to learn and get my groove back! You are definitely a God send to me and countless others. God bless you, and may He continue to use you to keep us inspired!
Thank you for addressing. Quite often, people think you are attacking them, for their size or body shaming. Not at all but there is a difference between chic and distasteful. I'm a slendour body, and believe me, not everything suits me. Self love has many elements that also includes tailoring what suits you, not what is in fashion. On another note, you are beautiful and Ray of sunshine to watch 🧡🧡🧡🧡
Can you do a video dedicated to under garment and shaper wear 🙏🏽💕🙏🏽💕
OMG....YESSSSS! Wondering what to wear under white linen pants....HELP!
Yes, I totally agree that would be extremely helpful..
@@dweakley1 i've only recently started wearing 'skin-toned' undies under white- really does look better!
Your skin is EVERYTHING!!
Got to give God probs for that and also sony for their capture technology 😘😘
Stunning!
Thank you so much for these tips I just hit 40 and my body has seemed to change and trying to style as if I was 21 was only bumming me out. So this video just gave me so many useful tips that I am definitely going to apply!!! Thanks boo!
Thanks for the tips, but thanks even more for putting out such a beautiful message of self acceptance, love, and body positivity. We all need more of that❤️
You are adorable. As a 72 year old white woman with belly fat that I cannot get rid of, your advice is really good. People think that I am really slim because I wear artfully applied clothing. I agree with you that you need clothes that fit. Since I sew I can make alterations to make the clothes fit. Sometimes I get impatient and I don’t want to do that but I know it’s the right thing to do.
You came in my feed, listened 2 seconds and subscribed lol. We still need to have women who influence wearing well fitted pieces and the proper undergarments. Keep up the good work!🌷❤️
Instead of buying many things, invest the money in upgrading the fit. You find good quality item that you like, go and ask your tailor if it can be done. Don't have a tailor yet? Buy fewer things and invest the money into looking fabulous in your costom fitted clothes.
I can count on one hand how often I watch these types of videos and certainly don't comment. But your video called out to me. I'm SO THANKFUL it did! I have always been the skinny girl you know, the one that was "fine" back in the day. Even after four kids, even after quitting meth after 20 years of using I still stayed thin. Well, maybe not thin, but certainly not overweight. Then I turned 45. And all hell broke loose. I started menopause, I got diabetes, you name it... it was one thing after another. I had always been very active and didn't have bad eating habits, but I developed them and now I am a whopping 230 lb.at 5'4" ( used to be 5'7" and 140 ...found out I had scoliosis as well ) And unfortunately for me with my genetic pool, both my mother and father's side all gain weight in the belly. So I basically look like an olive stuck on two toothpicks. God has blessed me with a great sense of humor and my way of dealing with it was making the jokes before anybody else could but I noticed after watching your video that I'm dressing like I used to and finding out that it just isn't working... And no amount of jokes is going to change that. I'm starting to not be that outgoing and social girl that used to be and I don't want that to change! it can't change! it's one of the most beautiful qualities I have so after watching your video I'm just going to surrender that this is who I am now and I'm okay with me as far as what's on the inside because I worked so hard through my rehab in these last decades that I've been clean to be the beautiful woman that I know I am and I feel more beautiful than I've ever felt in my life "on the inside" I just want the outside to match. I keep telling myself I had my days of beauty and all that so I need to just let go of it and now all I wear are leggings and big baggy t-shirts and that's not who I am! I was always such a wonderful dresser I don't mean to be conceited I'm just saying... I think I'm finally believing that I don't have to be that thin girl to be that beautiful woman and to be honest I don't want to attract the same attention now that I got back then. Lol that wasn't nothing but trouble! So thank you for getting me to take that first step and understand and admit that I am still beautiful it's just a different chapter and that I can still look nice. But now I have no idea where to shop I am unable to work now and literally have no money at best I can save up to buy something at Walmart but do they even have clothes specifically for my type? Where do I begin and how do I even shop for clothes that I know nothing about? I only know the type of clothes I used to wear I don't really have any friends that could take me that are in my situation or overweight so I don't really have anything to compare to all I have is my 73 year old mother who dresses nothing like I would ever dress LOL but still thinks that I should dress like her. Anyway if you could help me that would be great
Needed this.. i had a baby ... THREE years ago.. my body has never been the same.. sigh... its definitely a struggle
girl I know the struggle I went through it and one day I was like this the body I have and Ima make it work! Glad you are here xx
Same here☹
I can relate to you so much! I had a baby 6 months ago and It’s a bit hard to dress up but I’m wearing whatever 😅🤩
You made a whole extra person. If someone says anything to you about your size, ask them if they enjoy breathing and to go apologize to their mother. Your size does not determine your worth.
@@ttyngordon excellent response 😊👍
so true about shapeless dresses and some shapewear! "give yourself grace." yes put it on a billboard
First ever seeing this channel.
I believe you have just 'saved my life'. I've been dressing like a bum for the last 20 years. I'd look at other +size women and wonder, 'Where do THEY shop?). I gave up shopping bcos of money and just looked like the stores sold the ugliest, circus tents.
Now, I have direction.
MOST OF ALL
Your affirmations at the end were very powerful. I know these things. I should be speaking them aloud daily.
I love the word of encouragement,” No matter how your body looks it is okay, “ thanks
Ever woman should be proud how their bodies are and feel good.
Fantastic video “IT’S OK” ……. At 59 getting fit means rediscovering me because what was great when I was younger has to accommodate my “tummy” now. Yes it is getting smaller but it’s exciting watching videos like this that teach me how to dress MY BODY SHAPE
Thanks for this gorgeous! I appreciated the pep talk as much as the style advice.
Only a true queen straightens another's crown! 🤗💖
I needed this today. Been feeling bad for gaining weight due to medication and menopause. You've helped me to feel better so thankyou.

EAT HEALTHY AND GO TO THE GYM DAILY FAT IS NOT HEALTH SPEAK THE TRUTH TO WOMAN DONT DECIEVING THEM
@@ryak9130 while they are working on {eating healthy and gong to the gym} that they shouldn't get dressed or be confident in themselves?
@@SuppleChicTV they can but most of them dont like exercise rather complain
Great video as always!! Even though I am no longer in the voluptuous size category, I still follow your advice on fashion it has never steered me wrong. A million times thank you!! 💕
@@SuppleChicTV so true. When you find someone who's style & chic personality match the way you want to look & feel each day why not continue to support them. Always inspiring!! 💕
i love this woman i am so self conscious of my body being over wieght and a tummy i struggle so much trying to look nice and sort my weight out thankyou for your comments
I’m so glad you’re here. People, myself included need to hear that they’re worthy!
She is so positive, and you knows her business.
I really need that pink kimono
babe its sld out but I linked something similar xx
Veeeerrrry good! As an overweight 77 year old this is the best I’ve found on advice for dressing for my shape, which is pear shape.
So glad this video showed up in my feed. My best friend and I are shopping for “mother of the groom” dresses. Your tips make so much sense! We just want to look fabulous when our boys get married. Thanks also for the affirmations.❤️
I had post this! I see too many women, especially young girls, with the belly fat/muffin-top just free-falling. I have the belly-fat/fupa and I'm very self-conscious when I'm in public or people come over. I have an entirely different posture (suck in). I just do it without even thinking about it now. It's like a natural response.
Not free -falling, lol
@@lebronshairline4768 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for reminding me that I am “ENOUGH”! You are so inspiring 🤗
OMG, you bought "tears" to my eyes when you said "it's okay....., it's okay......, it's okay......"! Thank you!!! You are a blessing!!
This is the bed channel of its kind that I’ve ever seen! Modeling the Do’s and Don’ts, side by side, really helps me get what you’re talking about. Other channels tell you, but I can’t visualize what they mean. When they only show the Do’s, I can’t tell the difference. New sub!
I needed to hear this today. Feeling so bad about my appearance.
You are worthy of love. You are beautiful. You are exSOULlent.
@@angel_numbers ❤️
When your showing a don't it would be nice if you showed how to make a don't a do. It helps me. Like that oversized pink dress you had on...how could you make it work if you already own that piece??
Great suggestion but that would be an entirely different video xx
@@SuppleChicTV Yes it would be but I would love if you would do a video on it. I am learning to embrace my curves and how to make them look visually appealing. I have some pieces I know are not working for me so this would be a nice way to work them!
I take a cotton neck scarf those long ones, twist it and use as a belt it works for me, just don’t pull the belt too tight let it droop slightly to the side not in front hope that helped
@@shawshank6015 Thank you!! 😘
Gather the shirt in the back until it's as form-fitting as you like. Fold the shirt over once (left or right) and put the belt on while keeping that fold. After you secure the belt, gently tug on the shirt so that it falls at the same place all the way around. Adjust the shirt at the back of necessary.
Hope that helps. 💜 I absolutely LOVE statement belts and I do this all he time with tunics to make them look like dresses.
This made me cry. Your encouraging speech just hit me. I hate myself but I will work on liking me more. Thank you!
Thank you for telling everyone that they are worthy and have value. Our own self esteem can defeat us. You are so positive and I again want to thank you for purporting all the woman with problems.
I’m having good luck with eShakti dresses for getting the proportions right. They take your height with each item, and for ~$10 you can adjust the sleeves, neckline, and/or hem, so the dress will fit you right to begin with.
Just found your channel and love it! 🥇Thanks for the straight talk.
Opened this page accidentally. Actually enjoyed it. Thank you
I truly appreciate this post. I’ve gained a lot of tummy fat since starting the pill and doing my undergraduate studies. I’m now working at a primary school and it’s not that I care what people think but I’ve had some kids fat shame me. There’s only so many times you hear it before it starts to affect your view of self. This was exactly what I needed to hear 💛
I am glad you are teaching what lines should flatter bigger women instead of encouraging what I call trashy looks. I mean, I am tired of the phrase "body positivity" and equating it with wearing anything you like even if the look is not flattering to the figure or making you look trashy instead of classy.
I think the term and the movement was well intentioned but sometimes ppl take things too far xx
@@SuppleChicTV I know. Body positivity doesn't mean we should look like a streetwalker because we are not afraid to show off our body parts, and this goes for small or big women, LOL. But I hope body positivity should go back to its original meaning of accepting your body shape without being too in your face about it. Plus, there is also no harm if we do eat healthier and dress classier :)
Great tips! Can you incorporate on how to wear belts when being curvy.
Could you eleborate further ?
@@SuppleChicTV To be more specific, different widths of belts, and the correct placement meaning under the breast or at your midsection. I know everyone has a different body shapes but bow do you know where to place your belt when one has a fuller stomach How does one wear a belt so it flattering to your body. I’ve stayed away from belts because they seem to make my waist look wider than it is. Hope that helps.
@@SuppleChicTV Forgot to add when speaking of where to place your belt will differ if one is short or long waisted. Can you share which one you are and how you wear belts. I think that will be a great video!!
❤️love this information I am in the category with the belly the large girls but I do try to address these pretty no much as you said THANK YOU VERY MUCH🙏🏽❤️❤️
@@MyDaybyLori i agree
Wow, I don’t have a belly (I’m a pear shaped person), but I’m here for your presentation and gorgeous photo examples.
Sign me up! Randomly came across your channel and am a fan already! I'm 63 yrs old and weigh 150 lbs but my postpartum belly ( yeah after my two babies yrs ago nothing was the same) I have already gone thru my wardrobe and thrown out the no nos. Just wonderful you are!
Hello how are you doing?
So glad someone is saying it. Our fupa don't need to be all out. Yes we need good fit.
Thank you so much for this video; I've been feeling a little frustrated because I gain weight. You're a blessing to all women for encouraging every women to look her best in what she wears.
Your so welcome Im glad the video resonated it is my absolute pleasure to be a positive voice in the midst of all the perfectionism we see on social xx
@@SuppleChicTV Hi, paid to work with you, we especially like your youtube channel. I am an amazon seller. We find your youtube videos very creative, our company would like to work with you, I would like to invite you to take photos and videos of my products, about the cost of cooperation, our company can pay you, I sent you an email, looking forward to your reply!
Just subscribed, you made me feel good about my not so perfect body.
Thank God for you. I'm from the UK, and some stuff the plus-size woman wears will shock you. I'm a plus-size woman. I always wear appropriate clothing for my size. I have taken some serious tips from you. Thank you so much ❤
Oh my goodness! You are SO smart! I've been looking for tips like this for 25 years! Thank you!
Hi beautiful, how are you doing today
Good morning, thank you for the great content and the words of encouragement. Because of your channel I have slowly been upgrading my undergarments and changing my style. Again, keep up the great work!!
Sis I'm so glad to hear this, and that your here xx
You are popping sis!!!!! Everything looks good on you especially the lipstick
I think also a biig factor in how you look in a piece is your posture and confidence. If you look at her in the "bad" outfits, she is kinda hunching and not smiling at all. Then in the "good" outfits shes confident, straight up and smiling. It actually makes a huge difference and I think most of those first outfits would look as fine if you dont treat yourself worse in them :))
You caught me at hello, definitely subscribing..your energy is contagious
Great tips! I swear the undergarments will make or break your look!
Wow…. You are a pretty girl who has great style. When I was a young woman, no one was giving advice to us larger girls. It would have boosted my confidence. What a good thing you are doing!
🎉🎉🎉 Thank you for informing women how important it is to look good and, to wear the right foundation is important. I was brought up by church women and designers that when a woman step out the door, she should always glamorize her self even if it's Vaseline on the lips.
Love this lip!!! Had to rewind the beginning only focused on the lip lol. Always coming through with the gems!!!
girl its one of my concuctions now I'm trying to remember what I mixed together to make it lol
Omggg your inspirational words made me so teary-eyed. Thank you for the encouragement 💛!! I definitely needed these tips. I hate shopping because I'm too big for regular size stores and too small for plus size. I'm 5'3, 38/40DDD, (no hips😳😒), and a flat ass. Currently a size 14 or xl.
I love this video so much! After 4 kids + diastasis I have no clue how to dress my body. I ordered some high waisted jeans after this. Hoping they help! Thank you!!! ❤️
Oh wow, you are truly great at this. I have watched others try to do a video on something that I am desperate to hear but they just do not have the talent for doing this (me neither). You start out high energy and stick on point (or on message), you never waffle and don't take all day to start getting to the issue at hand. There are more but my sister is a strategic communications expert and I have learned through her that there is a LOT more to this than just getting up and talking. You do a fantastic job. AND the issue is a very important one. Thank you so much!
I just love how honest you came across. Thanks for doing this for us . ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for this video. Between MENTALpause and recently finding out I have an under active thyroid, I have gained a lot of belly weight/fat. I pretty much was on point except for the "baggy dress". I live in those lol But, thanks to you, I now know better. I have subscribed to your channel 💛
Ha! Good to see someone else referring to it as the mentalpause! My consultant was checking over symptoms with me and flat out asked me if i'd come close to wanting to kill anyone 😂😂
This video really made me cry... been 2+ years without buying clothes I just felt like nothing suits me ...
Thank you ❤
I have struggled my entire life to feel good about my body. Thank you. Your tips and support are so very welcomed .
Great pointers... I love your channel! Love short shapers to prevent chaffing.
Yes they definately come in clutch!!
Subscribed in the first minute, haven't seen content like this before. THANK YOU ❤🙌🏾
Me too🥰
Yes!!! I think so many of us just need that reminder that IT’S OKAY!!! Give yourself Grace!!! I love this! Let me go and subscribe right nah!!!!
Thanks for this wonderful tips on dressing. Its quite annoying though when I see some people with flappy belly still wearing clothed that shows it off all in the name of being confident about themselves. This will surely go a long way in bringing back our dress sense. Kudos
Madam, you win every time! Such a positive and energizing presentation. 🙏🏿🙏🏿
