      Thank you for another great video Anna! I bought a boatneck top a couple of weeks ago so of course your first tip was my favourite 😉! I wonder if you have any suggestions for sandals for women who choose not to show their toes? I have been searching online all morning today and eventually gave up because I could not find much that was not a full shoe or high-heel wedge - I try to avoid wedge shoes because they feel so heavy and clunky on my feet. Grateful for any tips on that. Thank you 🥰

    Anna is actually one of the funniest female influencers, and not because she is doing ridiculous things. She uses our human flaws to perpetuate change in a way that has us laughing at ourselves instead of disliking ourselves. It’s heartwarming! So when I say she is funny, I mean she utilizes the human experiences, which is hilariously imperfect, to perpetuate change. Anna says all the time how she had to learn a lot of what she is teaching, and had plenty of embarrassing moments herself. You know you’ve made it when you’re able to look back on those moments and laugh at yourself ❤️

      I would love to see a revived interest in feminine clothing and in elegance in general. I'm an older woman, and I missed out on so many years of confidence and having a better body image because I had notions that such clothing was always expensive, and that much of the etiquette was stiff and uncomfortable and 'just not me'. I know it isn't for everyone, but I got that boost in confidence and happiness as soon as I started making changes a few years ago. And Anna's advice really helps!

    I'm still in love with the fact that you preach sustainable fashion. Not from the point of view of saving the planet, but from the point of view of using natural fibers because they look and feel better. And from the point of view of purchasing your wardrobe is an investment that will last you a lifetime. My mom has a cotton shirt that is older than I am and it still looks fantastic because of the quality of the cotton and the construction of the garment. If you don't have to repurchase your plastic shirts every year then in the end you are saving so much more money.

      but whats even more important is getting one that fits right. 90% of women are wearing a bra with the band size far too big and cup size far too small. i am quite small in the chest department but i wear a DD cup. D cup does not equal big! And it is SO easy to figure out your own size bra. All you need is a soft measure tape. Measure your under bust (where your bra band is supposed to sit directly under the breasts) in a straight line around the torso. You might want to get a close friend or family member to help cause it can be difficult making sure the measuring tape isn't sitting higher or lower on your back than it should be. Pull the measure tape fairly tight. This measurement is your band size. My under bust measurement is 28 inches. Then measure the fullest part of the bust (generally the tape will lay on top of the nipples). The measuring tape needs to be in a straight line around the torso again to get a correct measurement. Mine measures 33 inches. Now subtract you band measurement from your bust measurement and count your cups. 33-28=5. I typically go with UK bra sizing because it is standard across all UK brands and is very easy to translate to any other brand. So, I need to count to the 5th cup. A,B,C,D,DD,E,F,FF,G,GG,H,HH,J,JJ,K,KK. Therefore I need a bra in the size 28DD. I could also get away with a 30D via sister sizing (if you increase 1 band size you go decrease 1 cup size and if you decrease band size by 1 you go up 1 cup size). But you never want to sister size more than once. So if your under bust measures 30 inches, you wear a 30 band and your bust measures 38 inches you wear a 30FF (which is a fairly average size) or you can wear a 32F if you run across a brand with a very tight band or just really love the bra. Or a 28G. Don't worry about where you are going to find bras in your new size (which is likely going to make you say "what no way my boobs are that big! before i find correct bra sizing i was wearing a 32 or 34A which fit me so badly) as you will most likely have to buy them online unless you have an independent bra boutique near you or you live in UK or poland. Our mentor Ana here should most likely be wearing about a size 28/30E/F. Most people would incorrectly claim she is a B or C cup.

    • @bethanyday3471
      @bethanyday3471 3 года назад +3

      ​@@Weissklangi i would highly just recommend going with inches. if you only have a centimeter measure tape, take the measurements in centimeters and then go onto google and just type in "cm to in". 1 inch is like 2.5 cm, but its just one thousand times easier to do the math with inches. i know in poland they take the measurements in centimeters and so they would measure the under bust and get 71 centimeters. but when following EU brands that have an old outdated version of bra sizing built into their bra sizes. so if you were to just go for a size 70 band it would be 2 band sizes too large. so again in poland they take this measurement and then subtract 10 cm and thats how they get their bra band size. 71 cm = 28 inches. a size 70 band is equal to a size 32 band so you subtract the 10 cm and get your actually band size, a 60 aka size 28. just much easier to do it in inches and convert to whatever bra brand you are going to buy from. once you do the math in inches you can buy from any brand. rib measurement is 28, bust measurement is 33, thats a 5 inch difference. so you would just buy a size 28 band and the 5th cup available from whatever brand. so in UK that would be a 28DD, but in FR that would be a 70E and EU would be a 60E. If you are just starting out in this journey I would stick to brands that follow UK standard sizing. Get your size down there and then branch oit because sometimes you need to go up or down a cup depending on brand and region. Band size will pretty much always stay the same, most the time when the band feels too tight its because the cup is too small. and easy way to check this is to turn the bra upside down and put it on so the cups are facing your belly button. does the band still feel tight? you should be able to slip the straps off of your shoulders and not have the band of your bra move at all. 90% of the support come from that band it!

      @@usernameisunavailable8270 the top bra brands that i always see loved in the bra communities i am apart of; panache, cleo, ewa michalak, comexim (polish brand, will likely require an increase or 2 in cup size), freya, Katherine Hamilton, Harlow & Fox, fantasie, bravissimo. paramour & curvy kate can be good too. Kris Line and Gorsenia are 2 good polish brands, though it may be a bit harder to nail down size. Avocado is a great brand as well though their sizing is also a bit wacky. Elomi is great for the really big girls (though not ones with smaller bands). Skarlett Blue, Calvin Klein, Natori, and Aerie are great for smaller girls. The Little Bra Company is of course fantastic and there are few random brands on amazon that sell 28A-D cup bras that a surprisingly decent. Simon Perele, Chantelle, and Aubade are all really good if they have your size. French brands tend to be REALLY good quality and build but its harder to get the sizes needed. And my two honorable mentions are Claudette and Mimi Holliday, they are brands that don't really exist anymore but if you can find your size from their brand - worth it.

Then I found a great book on dressing well on a tight budget by using the resources offered by second hand shops. The quality, cut and simple elegance you advocate for is to be found sometimes in the resale shops for a fraction of the price. Perhaps a video on how to direct our economic means wisely when we are just starting could be very interesting for many of the ladies who watch you. Thank you Anna!

    Ana, you could talk about anything - I would watch! Listening to your content is like a therapy - your self esteem, sense of humor and sincerity is really inspiring to be at least a little bit more elegant, more feminine. Live better and become better. I was never interested in elegance, etiquette, fashion or afluent life style. I could call myself an artsy villager :D , who doesn't care about outfits that much. But with your content I discovered the importance of it all and feel so much better about myself than before! So, thank you! Very very much :).

    I think with linen, why it's okay for it to be wrinkles, it's because it's expected to wrinkle💯

  • @kimberlyperrotis8962
    @kimberlyperrotis8962 3 года назад +141

    Tip: if a slow-spin or delicate wash cycle is used, linen won’t wrinkle as much. Take it out of the wash right away, it will be dripping, then give it some hand-shaping and hang-dry or toss it in a medium-setting dryer. I still iron it all, but this does make it easier.

      Try to avoid colours that will show sweat stains (e. g. grey) or make a small patch test with water to see how much it shows.
      You can also get sleeveless midi dresses and put a thin button up shirt like a jacket over it to cover your arms

      I personally love bishop sleeves, I think they look very sophisticated. They're quite common with wrap dresses I've found, another classy summer style. Otherwise I find fitted 3/4 length sleeves (or full length sleeves folded back to the elbow) to be flattering. But with more coverage, natural fibres (especially linen) is a must for me in summer.

    Hi Anna, To answer your question why so many women dress badly in summer, it's because they haven't been taught by their mothers how to dress for summer probably because they grew up in a cold climate country ie England (like me). From a young age my mother always taught me how to dress properly for summer by wearing silk tops and linen trousers and maxi dresses because she lived in the hottest part of India and was used to dressing for 50 C degree heat. Covering your skin is also very important when it is hot (something that many people don't know if they are from a cold country) It keeps you cooler to cover your arms, shoulders and legs with cotton, linen and silk fabrics. Also shorts are a no no for women (unless you are on the beach or they are longer knee length and not denim). In many hot countries grown up women don't wear shorts.

      I love seeing how ladies from India dress for summer! I asked a few where I can find the beautiful outfits they wear. They tell me but I can never find the places.

      @@danicegewiss862 Its worth visiting South Asian communities in your country which have stores that sell these types of clothing. Alternatively search online.

    Can you make a tutorial about how to style coats and other formals like tie or how to make sure that the pumps are clean

    I bought my first pair of linen pants because of a few of your videos! These are out of my comfort zone, as I am used to fitted pants, but I’m excited. Thank you!

    about heels: what do you do with the fact that its bad for your health , especially back on the long term?

      It isn't always, it depends on the natural resting angle of your foot. You can Google it. Some people actually do better in a mid or low heel than flats

      You can try a company like Chie Mihara, I heard that she made orthopedic shoes before designing regular ones!

      Actually, my back hurts when I wear flats whereas I feel fine in heels. Different strokes for different folks!

    When linen was (re)introduced 30 years ago, every linen item in every shop had a label on it saying, linen knittert edel, meaning linen creases in an elegant way. True - as Anna knows
