Body Shape Master Class Ep 3.UK size 16 (USA 12), 5ft 1 petite, Pear/Apple/Strawberry woman styled
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 дек 2021
- Episode 3 of the Body Shape Master Class shows you how I went about styling a UK size 16 lady (Sue) who is petite in height at 5ft 1 inches, large busted and carries her weight around her waist and thighs, so a real mixture of several different body shapes. Sue wanted an outfit for her 50th birthday party celebrations at her local pub and hopefully you’ll agree that she looks fantastic and more importantly felt confident leaving the studio and excited to show off her new pieces.
Just for the record, I don’t make any money from these suggestions or links.
For reference I’m:

A UK Size 8-10 (USA: 4-6, EU: 36-38)

Sue (the model) is

I keep coming back to this video and recommending it to people I know because you are the only stylist I have seen on RUclips that acknowledges the fact that petite does NOT mean size 0. As someone that is 5’ tall but not 90lb this video has really taught me a lot about balance, and proportion. My biggest tip that I’ve learned as a petite size 8-10 ignore the size on the label and invest in a good tailor. I always buy 2 sizes bigger and tailor in.
Loved this video! My 26 year old daughter is very similarly shaped. Love taking the principles that you teach and incorporating them into our lifestyles. Thank you! And thank you to Sue!!
Sue! You look INCREDIBLE for 50 years old. You don't look a day over 30-35... I can only hope to look as good as you when I turn 50 - in only 6 short year years.
Just presumed she was pretty young. Twenty something. Just when I saw comment about her age. She does look all over terrific. ❤
Don’t you think pockets at the side of trousers adds width? X
OMG, I woul never have thought 50. More like 37ish, max!!! Way to go girl!
Really appreciate you addressing larger petite bodies and appreciate skipping the boned waist nipper. We petite ladies can have very short waists and the boned nippers can be too long for us causing them to buckle and then dig into our skin quite painfully even when wearing the appropriate size.

I know how you feel, I’m under 5ft and am now size 18 thanks to an under active thyroid! I’ve always had problems working out where my waist is, my ribs slip inside my hip bones which isn’t fun. I now have a belly like I’m 18 months pregnant!!! I just wish I could find out how to dress when looking like an Easter egg on legs!
Absolutely!!!!!
@@terriprado4322 Have you tried Armour thyroid meds..I lost fifteen pounds lately and think Armour works better for me than Synthroid.
@@craftylittlerthings My waist is at my bust. lol
The model is beautiful. How nice to accentuate her best features. I’m pushing 75 and learned some new things!
That's great! Thank you for watching x
So glad to see a normal looking model instead of a 16 yr old size 0. So grateful for her to appear on this vid for us, thank you so much, Sue xxx
Ps I would keep shoes the same colour as her trousers. Shoe boots preferably giving an unending length 💛💙💜
New subbie here and just wanted to comment thst this is one of the BEST styling videos for real women bodies. Thanks so much! Would love to see similar styling videos for inverted triangle body types.
Hi there. Have you watched the body shape master class 2 video? That model (Delia) was close to the inverted triangle, you may pick up some tips from that. Thank you for your comments and for watching x
Agreed, thank you!
Love this. I'm 5'4". When I was 30 (36 years ago), I was co-owner of a start business in the Midwest. A guy from LA came through and held a large seminar about styling and all. I was chosen as one of the models - so fun! Shoulder pads were so " in" for years back then, and then they kind of went away. I was horrified to be a size 9 then. Now, if I approach 14-16, it's a miracle. I'm built like your model but my hips are the smallest measurement.
Your model is super brave and your styling expertise is excellent. She looks fantastic and I thank her for being vulnerable and yet confident!
Love it. So helpful. 💋💛
Hi ladies! You go Sue! I am shaped just like you so I am watching ever so intently. Good for you for stepping outside your comfort zone for all of us!
Taking one for the team!! Thank you!!

Somebody else has my body! We look good 👍 Great job, Sue!! Rocking 50 🍾
❤️❤️❤️FABULOUS!
4'11" here, and a US size 16 (mainly because of the 36DDD girls and a big old gut) and I also have large upper arms that I hate and hide.
These tips are all _really_ great, but I absolutely would've LOVED to see you collab with a hair stylist to select the appropriate do's for each outfit! I have hair similar to Sue's- medium length, fine, flat, and straight. I always struggle to figure out if I should do an updo, a braid or bun, or try to curl, add extensions for volume, etc...
All and all, VERY informative, thank you! 🤗
Good point as Sue was picking an outfit for her 50th birthday and I agree, she needed to have her hair in an updo style to make her look more glamourous and to give her a bit more height.
Would love to have seen an aftershot inserted showing us which outfit she chose for her birthday party and how she looked on the day.
So happy to find this video. I’m almost the same size exactly and was feeling a bit low until I watched and really felt she looked adorable in the before shot. Petite and curvy with a waist. Of course the tips are SUPER and I’ve already ordered some shoulder pads but I thought “Oh, if that’s what I look like, that’s great! No reason to feel down about that! Thank you SO much!
I’m sure you can look just as wonderful and definitely no reason to be down about it. Merry Christmas to you xx 😘
I agree, she (and you) have a really cute figure!
Thank you thank you thank you!!! Looking at Sue’s shape, is like looking in the mirror! I am also 5’1, and I’ve never been able to find a video like this that helps people out size and shape to find clothes that are suitable and look amazing! I would always have to look at videos of much much taller women who had a relatively similar shape, but I could never get it right because they had so much more length to play with!
Happy Birthday Sue! You look so great in the 4 outfits you chose. Don't ever question how beautiful you are. The right clothes show off your great curves and they not only showed you in your best way, but I see the joy in your face. We are so quick to blame ourselves when clothes don't look great on us, but the issue is the clothing, not us! Please remember that and hats off to Melissa for her talent and sweet, encouraging spirit!
Thank you Nancy, i'll pass your message your kind words on to Sue x
Sue looked amazing in her outfits!!! I LOVED that dress on her so much and the one piece! I thought the dress looked even better with the nude heels and loved the darker sequined shirt with the v-neck line. That’s what I’m loving about your videos…learning how to be more conscious of those little details and what a huge difference they make.
Thank you for saying so, i'll pass it on to her. x
Hi Sue! Thanks SO much for modeling! I'm also 5"1' and it's terribly hard to find outfits that work for my size and shape. I'm really very grateful and it's wonderful to meet you! xo
Fantastic job with Sue, she looks fantastic and you have helped her so very much. You look amazing Sue
Finally a " normal" size featured! I am US size 12, all the videos I've found are size, 4, 6....nice, but not something practical for a larger size woman. Thank you...more larger size videos please!!
My goodness , she looked absolutely lovely in the outfits ! Truly beautiful. I hope she enjoyed her birthday and the trip to New York , I bet she was very happy to have such lovely outfits to wear on her trip .
Love love love the black dress! All 4 outfits she chose were super flattering!
Nice to have a petite model. Sue, looks great with all the outfits!
Sue watching you light up when your looks came together was the best part of this. Thank you for styling real women. I struggle with same areas as Sue and I am 5'3". I learned so much. Your both beautiful. Blessings J
I love Sue modeling a typical body shape that most of us have. I have her same shape. 5' tall and size 14 USA. I won't wear the square toe shoes, but the outfits are wonderful and eye opening. Love it! Sue looks so good! I will try your tips. I have a smaller bust, apple shape. I highly recommend to bring "real" women to model the clothing. It was great to see the subtle differences. I want more of this. Thank you.
I love the dress on Sue. Makes her look so slim and streamlined. She picked the right 4 outfits. Very nice.
Sue looks FANTASTIC in her outfits. Just love your videos, thank you!
Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing your expertise, Melissa. Modeling things that did not look right on you was very brave, Sue. Your face lit up when you wore the styles and colors that made you look your best. Both of you inspired me to become a subscriber and to make some changes in my wardrobe.
Thank you Sue for being so brave. Your four outfits look wonderful but my favorite is the dress. Your face just lights up in this dress. Have a wonderful birthday! I am now a subscriber and can’t wait to see more tips and tricks. You definitely know what you are doing. Thank you for sharing with all of us! Merry Christmas.
You are so welcome, Merry Christmas to you too. x
yes! many good looks but that dress was fantastic on her
Sue, thank you for modeling. You look wonderful! I liked the dress and my favorite outfit would be the dark pants, pink top, and the long duster jacket.
What a cute model. Her smile is so contagious.
Great video, very informative and Sue looks fab in all of her outfits. I’ve come across your channel recently and look forward to seeing the content you bring on here. Im also petite at 5ft 2 so it’s great to see you styling yourself snd others of a similar height. Thanks x
Hi Melissa
I am now really hooked on learning all your wonderful styling tips. You really understand not only about women’s bodies but also women’s emotion feelings around clothes and you do this with such understanding and positive attitude. I loved all the outfits but I think your client looked the most comfortable in the second one. Have a good Christmas and New year x
Thank you Sarah, that’s really nice of you to say. The main focus of my job is to increase a woman’s confidence and show them they can look fantastic whatever their shape so I’m really pleased that type of sentiment comes across. Merry Christmas to you too!
Yaaaaah!!! I finally see a woman, my age, my height, my shape, and probably my weight. Fantastic😃 Im taking notes...
Glad it helps. There’s 3 new body shape master classes where I’ll be dressing the ‘everyday’ woman live on screen so watch out for those x
Sue looked amazing! Brave model. Thank you! ❤😊
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I found so much information useful, as I am similar to the model with a combination shape at 56 years old. Thank you 100x for selecting a busty petite model with some weight. I found myself stopping and repeating sections to just study, learn, and reflect. I notice you never said she was short- waisted, which maybe I am. Please do another model session like this in the future. Every point was helpful. I am from USA, and I feel so fortunate to get a lesson from your academy. Merry Christmas to you, too!
Thank you Esther, I’m glad you were able to learn some things from it. I’d recommend you watching all of the body shape series (there’s 3 so far but more planned in the new year) as they’ll be full of tips regardless of your shape. Merry Christmas!
@@mmpersonalstyling , I will study all then. Thanks
I love that you use shoulder pads to balance the chest and waist! Other RUclips channels never even mention them in their styling or "fashion hacks" videos but I think they can make the biggest difference if you have narrow shoulders and/or have some weight in your upper arms. However, I don't love the classic foam pads meant for shoulders. They're just too visible and then the 80's call wanting their shirt back and I want to wear mine with most any top so being undetectable is key. There are a few silicone boob lifters on Amazon that are teardrop shaped, thinner at the top and a slightly thicker at the bottom. When applied with the thicker part coming over the shoulder, they give more of a gentle rounded up-slope to the outer round part of the shoulder but no bulk in the area between the edge of the shoulder and the neck which gives a thick football pad look. Plus the silicone is harder to detect under the shirt and has the feel and movement of a real body part. They're also adhesive so they don't move around and I have trimmed the top of mine to fit. Your bra strap goes over them. They make all my blouses look and drape ten times better balancing my larger chest and making my waist look smaller. And no one even knows I'm wearing them.
Good to know, thanks x
Sounds like a great tip.
I really liked this jumper on her. Especially with the necklace.
How refreshing to see a styling video that tackles "problem areas" with a woman we can relate to instead of a thin model trying to show us how to do it. Bravo. These tips helped me a lot and your model was delightful. Happy Birthday!
Thank you so much xx
Wow! I had no clue. I’m an apple shape but I can definitely see how making a few small changes can make a huge difference. Great video!
Great job on the styling! The ruched dress looked AMAZING!
The minute I saw her in the dress from river island, I yelled "yeesss"! She looks good in that - I hope she wears that for her 50th!!!
The black dress looks fire! 🎉
Spectacular instructions for all of us. Sue looks amazing - and that smile 😃 is infectious. You helped her feel like a real grown beautiful woman. Her undergarments were perfection. Great video
Lovely model and pieces, good on uou Sue for representing us short bursty girls x
More of similar pls.
I've ordered that Wallis jumpsuit, loved it on Sue x
And the 2nd picture with the white blouse and shiny jacket is my fav...even with some tennis shoes could be really cute for everyday. Great info - thank you for showing these love them!
Bravo to Sue! She looks great. It really is amazing how small changes have big results. Happy Birthday Sue! I hope you go out and dance all night to celebrate.
The dress looks amazing on her. I can't believe how the padded shoulders made such a difference. The higher shoulders are definitely her friend. Great tips.
I think it's actually the shoulder STRUCTURE that helps. The model has rounded shoulders. Someone of her body type that has defined straight shoulders could likely do without the added bulk & projection of shoulder pads making their upper body look super wide.
Hi Melissa I have just recently found your channel and i couldn’t be more impressed. I have never seen anyone styling a body shape like mine. I am 4ft 11 and a size 12-14 I am a pear shape with an ‘F’ size bust but since menopause have gained weight on my stomach, I am basically the same shape as Sue. Thanks for all the great tips 🥰
You’re more than welcome xx
Great video, Love that black jump suit on her, all the other outfits are sport on as well!
I'm 5ft, this video is so amazing. Taught me a lot about proportion, and not being afraid of tucking the shirt in. Thank you to the goddess model.
Just watched your styling. Your model looks fabulous in her new outfits!!! Happy 50th!!! I love the hints you provided and how you positively worked with her as well as the pieces you picked out.
Thank you to Sue for helping all of us who also have her figure, by being brave enough to let us in on the process.
She was brave wasn’t she, thank you for recognising that. It’s not easy getting real women to put themselves out like that. X
All four outfits are beautiful on her…brilliant choices…👍👍👍👍
Thank you! 🤗
Fantastic. A real person with real clothes that real people can buy!! Realistically styled. Well done all round
Sue looked stunning in the outfits she chose and the little tips and twitches made a huge difference. Stay beautiful
Finally, someone who looks like me being styled! Thanks for this!
I really like all ideas that your guest chose to walk away with. All points are very true. Keep up the good work!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow, what a difference that rose gold top made with Sue's skin tone. Excellent choice. That lighter gold appeared to "wash her out". Also, Sue...I want your ankles. You were rockin those heels! Loved this video. Such good tips!
Thank you so much!
That was very informative. My only suggestion is that the shoulder pads might look better if the thinnest part goes close to the neck and the thicker part over the tip of the shoulder. That way it would also elongate the neck while adding a strong shoulder.
Yes you’re right, I was just working too quickly!!
This is the first time I've come across your channel and I'm so glad. I threw out all my shoulder pads way back when but I'll be looking for some new ones now. Thanks so much - these are styling tips that will work for me as a larger woman.
Sue has good instincts about what looks best. Glad she nixed the sequined cami and jacket and white jumper
You did a great job styling her. That ruched bodycon dress is the piece that made my jaw drop. Wow!
Sue looks amazing! So happy to have found your channel and can't wait for the new year!
Melissa, you never cease to inspire us! Sue looks amazing….. how are we going to last until the New Year for more?
Bravo! Such great styling! I'm similar to Sue's body type, so your ideas are very enlightening.
All of them! Sue should buy all of the outfits! Each of them is great for different occasions and looking like that you would find any excuse to go out. Bravo 👏👏👏
Thanks for showing how we can make the most of our body shapes. It was great to see how a long necklace helps with shape - I thought it would draw attention to my big bust. Also, I didn't think that I could wear a jumpsuit, but Sue looked great! So, I think that I'll try one for summer.
I'm a similar shape and height to Sue (although a bit smaller in both) and completely understand what she meant about feeling like a "bag of nails" in the cream jumper.
Adding a French tuck, or pushing sleeves up can be comfortable, but not when you are swamped by the garment and probably not when you have to do both.
Personally, I can't stand pushing sleeves up. I couldn't do the elastic trick to shorten sleeves, as it would hurt. I have joint issues and nerve damage, both of which would be aggravated by having something tight there. Many bigger people have circulation problems, so it could be bad for them, too. I'm learning to sew, as I want to be able to adjust my clothes to fit better.
I wonder if Sue is like me - I used to have a real hourglass figure, until I put more weight on in my middle area. Now, I have a huge tummy and my once defined waist isn't as obvious as before :(
Hi Melissa, another great video, thank you. Sue, you look lovely in all the outfits. I especially liked the first one, happy birthday 🎂
Fabulous ❤️ I am curvy petite and have always had trouble with clothes that fit, and look good on. This vid took me right out of my comfort zone and to a bolder space...love it. And a big thankyou to Sue.❤️
Loved seeing Sue’s immediate reactions - beautiful smiles and eyes lighting up. Lovely!
Glad you enjoyed it
Love how you styled her. Really loved all but the jumpsuit was my fave.
Thank you for this, I am about the same body shape and this is the most realistic demonstration for styling clothes!
when you structured her shoulders, it completely mind blowing. awesome video.
What a beautiful lady! 🥰 Even without hair or makeup done, her natural beauty and that amazing smile just shone through. Fantastic! 😊
Great video and a big tip for me as Im also a pear shape to use shoulder pads and to find garments with the puff sleeve or shoulder details - very helpful ideas. Sue looked amazing - congratulations. xx
xx
This is a great video. I am also short and with a little heavier midsection and arms so it was interesting to see the effect of shoulder pads. I think Sue looked great - even in the white jumper that she didn't like. Also, I think the nude shoes made her look taller. It's very enlightening and Sue should be proud. I wouldn't have had the courage to do this on video. I'm too insecure. Bravo to Sue!
Thank you, Sue. It was so nice seeing this done on a more curvy woman.
Lovely! So wonderful to see her feeling happy and comfortable. You have inspired me. Thank you so much😍
Wow! I have similar issues and have so much trouble finding clothing. She looks amazing in most of the outfits. I have so much difficulty finding clothing in stores and I hate shopping online. This was so encouraging that short waisted pears CAN look amazing. Thank you.
Looking good Sue! Great ideas! I can relate, thank you!🤗
So much information in this video thank you Sue for modeling
Thanks for watching!
Wow, am so glad I saw this. A real woman!,styled beautifully. You have given me ideas. Thank you. Enjoy the birthday Sue
This was soooo good! I loved this video. I'm 5'1 too, a size 10 but still have some of the same issues Sue has. I learnt a lot and Sue look fabulous in everything. That last River Island dress looked fantastic on her! I'll be 50 next year too so I'm now off to do some online shopping! Well done Sue and thanks Melissa xx
You’re welcome Lorraine xx
Hi Melissa, great video, Sue looked fabulous in all the outfits. I’ve picked up some great tips, can’t wait for the next one xx
Thank you 😘
Sue looks amazing in all the clothing. Thank you Melissa for your help and advise.
Sue is lovely with a beautiful smile! Thank you Sue for modeling for us! 💕🌷
Absolutely loving these videos! Can't wait for the next one as they are just so informative unlike most other styling videos out there
You’ve done a great job with Sue - I absolutely love your styling tricks and tips!
Thank you for sharing!
Donna Walmsley, Work Your Wardrobe 🧚🏻♀️❤️🐝
Thank you Donna. Merry Christmas x
Wow. She looks great! The outfits really accentuate her figure and make her look longer and leaner. Great styling tips.
I think Sue looked great in her final choices, love the curvy dress, but I also look the plainer black one with the boots, with a little bit of funky jewelry it would be great for running around town doing errands!
RUclips randomly threw this video into my algorithm and boy am I glad it did! I've now subscribed and am binge-watching all your videos! Menopause has caused me to put on quite a bit of weight which sucks and has left me feeling proper low, definitely going to try some of these tips though, hopefully I might look half decent again!!
Oh Lisa, I honestly hear and see this all the time from my clients 😢. The right choices can genuinely make you look like you’ve dropped a dress size so I hope some of these tips help you to feel more confident again x
A really interesting and informative styling video! Sue looked great in all the outfits actually. The River Island dress was the most flattering to her shape. But I think the velvet suit and sparkly top combo would be more versatile and give options to mix and match to make other outfits. Thank you for your hard work to create this content x
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for taking the time to comment, I really appreciate it. Merry Christmas!
May I suggest doing a lesson on the following:
1. Petite plus, busty, and short-waisted
2. Shoe tips for the petite pear shape with menopausal stomach when you really need to wear support shoes with arch support.
3. How to dress the petite pear shape with the menopausal stomach overhang (some call apron) that hangs lower.
Thank you!!!
Wow She looks amazing! Great job on the styling! The black dress blew my socks off! Go Sue!!!!
Sue looked great and young too! The colors dark teal, sapphire and rose gold (the sequins) looked best with her coloration and strawberry blond hair. Happy birthday!
I truly love this series! It is the only one I truly find educational and inspiring. But I would love to see this master class for the summer season! There (in a hot summer) I don’t think shoulder pads or spanx underneath will be used or will be desired.
I am a slim apple shape and I have the hardest time in summer staying cool and airy but not revealing tummy lumps and bumps! Or armpit jelly!
Tackling this topic would be a great help and very much appreciated.
Love to all of you!
Hello Martina. I definitely will do that but right now it’s freezing cold and there aren’t any summer clothes in our shops! I will do it however when we get to summer x
@@mmpersonalstyling I can’t wait! Thank you ! 🙏 😊
Hi Melissa, I just recently found your channel and I want to say: you do an amazing job! Love your explanations why something works and others not, because I am also the one in the dressing room,who needs help with shushing(?) up...
Thank you very much and greetings from Germany!
Suse Müller
Thank you, it’s very nice of you to take the time to say those thing. I’m really pleased you’re enjoying them x
Sue looks INCREDIBLE in that dress! Total bombshell!
I've learned more hear than anyone. Thank you for making styling easier for us women at a certain age. That black dress is 😍!
Thank you for creating this helpful video, especially thank you to Sue! Perhaps you could focus on humid weather clothing. Many of us gals are living in very warm climates year-round, or extreme summer temperatures. It’s difficult to look casually put together, while you’re trying not to perspire through your clothes because of the heat and humidity. As many of your viewers I’m a woman who has reached menopause. My weight increased from a pear-shape, now it’s the three B’s, busty, belly and booty.. At daytime, it’s sandals and flops because we’re over the high heels. Looking for easy go-to smart outfits for days, running to market or easy lunches with family and friends.
I'm going to do a summer version of this video as soon as the summer pieces are in the shops x
@@mmpersonalstyling I would also love to see summer casual for a big city lunch gathering into an evening dinner date. Plus business casual outfits for weekdays, or weekend travel.
No shape-wear as mentioned, for all the folks living mostly in the hot, humid, summer temperatures, but with some layers for cold air conditioned restaurants or an evening out at a school/college reunion.
Would especially like to see bold colors and patterns styled in light/bright summer attire (no athletic wear). Especially for the petite height, busty, menopausal tummy ladies, in the average US female size of 14-16.
What about coordinating outfits/pieces/accessories for 4-day weekend get away or cruise, with more casual + dressed up for evening attire?
Thanks!
Loved this video. I'm 5ft and size 18/20 and carry most of my weight on my bust and stomach so I got lots of great styling tips. I'm surprised that you didn't put Sue in a wrap dress or top as I find these to be the most flattering for my body shape.
I purposely didn’t as most people know about wrap dresses and I prefer to show something different- it gives my clients more choice and gets them out of the rut of wearing wraps all the time! Thanks for watching
@@mmpersonalstyling and it’s much appreciated.
Love the 4th outfit with the fitted blazer and sparkly top! And Sue looks so great and smiley in the third pic with the dress. Happy 50th!
Just loved this video! Thank you to Sue for allowing you to use her as a model. Definitely eye opening what a few tweaks can do to make you look more shapely.
