Melissa,thank you for giving us various price options. My budget is limited so I appreciate that. I have stopped watching Busbee style or Anna Bey who seem to think that paying £300 for a tshirt is reasonable. You are my favourite stylist, I have learned such a lot.
Hi Melissa, as always very useful 🎉, being a short person and have lost 😢my confidence in style , listening to you is helping slow . Not only loss confidence but menopause and 60 this year ! More i watch the more it helps . Kind regards x
Oh bless you Teresa. Next weeks video is with a shorter lady (5ft 1), UK size 12-14 so hopefully that will help give you some tips on dressing a more petite figure. She also carries her weight around her mid section so we focused on making that disappear!
@@mmpersonalstyling Thank you for taking the time to reply, if I had the money I would definitely do one of your style courses. I think midi life is difficult, and it know where to begin?? I buy what I like not thinking about the whole look , silly me . Kind regards x
Thank you so much for making these videos. I have not only learned a lot. I have added to styles I can wear. I thought my figure couldn’t bear certain looks but you’ve proved me wrong and that is great. Also, I’ve seen size doesn’t matter, it’s about flattering your shape and I’m less concerned that I’m not perfect and just enjoying who and how I was designed.
Hi Melissa, I have just found your you tube. I have lost my confidence as I’ve got older, I’m 60 just, but looking at your very informative posts is giving me a great starting point. Thankyou sooo much x
Hellooooo, just wanted to say, I have been following your chanel for a year now. I Love the way you present your work. It gives me plenty of inspiration, so thank you so so much. ❤
Your advice is so helpful, the best I have seen in fact, especially now with so many shops going mostly online , making it difficult to try lots of items on with ease , I have already purchased some items you have shown, thank you Melissa ❤
Great outfits. Love all the looks but I’m obsessed with the pot plant The pot colour and shape is on point with the foliage colour. As I said OBSESSED 😅
Hello beautiful Melissa. I love everything , but that first dress is everything and looks so gorgeous on you. It's almost time to fix dinner , but I always your videos twice. So, later I will watch again.. Every single thing looked so beautiful . I love the monochromatic look and the white jacket that would go with so much. You have taught all of us so much. Inam suddenly getting more compliments on my outfits. You can so wear the colorful outfit well. Thanks Melissa. I love to watch you and hear your voice. ♡♡♡♡
Since I got my Vivaia ballet flats I've hardly worn anything else. I've got two more pairs and some bows on order. Looking forward to putting bright pink bows on my orange shoes!
I got those In beige and black. I haven’t worn them yet and not sure why. They are very comfortable. I think the bows are a great idea. I am tempted by the denim colour.
@@trishhickson1550 I got a denim colour pair from Gabor last year. If I didn't have those, I definitely would have got the Vivaia ones as I really like them.
@@yellowfuchsia1 oh nice, I’m still tempted but also like those loafers Melissa showed. There is always something I want to buy 😖. I’m going to try to get wearing mine now. I’d never usually wear a pointed toe especially with bunions but they are amazingly comfy.
I liked the Boden top better with the denim…the full outfit was just ok, found it to be too much. The denim dress was so amazing! Thank you for the fabulous looks for spring.
I had bookmarked those beige Zara chinos earlier, and they look even better when I can see them on you! Definitely ordering! Thank you for all your great videos, I feel I am finally building a functional mix and match wardrobe in my 40s.
Tremendously excellent video :-). Well its tremendously interesting I must say Melissa :-). Thanks indeed for sharing this wonderful video Melissa :-). Some interesting looking spring style clothes you were well representing. I generally wear spring like clothes in the English summer months really since I feel the cold more but I do wear summer clothes like shortsleeved shirts if it was a baking hot heatwave and all the rest of it. But wonderful video Melissa and well done on nearly reaching 200k subscribers :-). Very very big well done indeed :-). Its indeed a special milestone :-). Its also nice seeing you looking very pretty as usual aswell as extremely stylish not to mention :-). Sadly I had to recently get rid of a few jumpers because they had excess holes in them which was certainly most painful but will eventually purchase some new ones though fairly soonish. Though they had a roughly good 2 years of being worn but eventually got old and had holes in them and all the rest of it. One of my jumpers until 2023 lasted for about roughly 7 or so years which is indeed a long time I must say Melissa. But some clothes last longer than others at different lengths of timing grip really and all the rest of it. I really also liked the look of your slip on shoes as I think so friends of mine might like them :-). Extremely nice indeed :-). Nice style to them aswell. I am terribly sorry if I am extremely late to have commented on this wonderful video of yours Melissa but here I am now :-). Sending you many hugs and kisses :-D :-D :-). From your friend Foxy in Brighton, East Sussex, England, UK xoxox :-D :-D :-).
You looked beautiful in everything. Could you possibly explain why the white tank top works with the colorful wide leg pants? It seems to go against "rules," yet it looks great. Thank you!
Great video, Melissa. I have the Phase Eight bouclé jacket in navy blue and I absolutely love it. I wear it everywhere, including to work. You've almost convinced me to buy the denim skirt, I much prefer the cream colour to regular denim.
More Melissa Magic 🥰, love the Phase Eight dress I’m going to order it, love all the outfits you always make it look so effortless. I always appreciate when you describe what each outfit does for the figure and how it will help with finding shape, especially when your like me and have little or no shape around the middle 😂 another great video you never disappoint 🥰
Hi Melissa, another great video. FYI, your video didn't pop up in my feed, even though I watch your videos each week. Not sure if you are missing any viewers due to YT metrics. Good to see Monty again!
@@mmpersonalstyling Yes, its complicated, just thought if you are checking your views, some of your subscribers might not be seeing your videos automatically.
Hey Melissa, writing from Denmark! Could you not maybe also put links to the clothes for the European market in the description? I love your style but of course it got a lot more difficult for us Europeans to order from the UK… pleeeease!😉
We’ve tried before but the European sites just throw us off and revert us back to the uk sites. All you have to do is follow the uk link then change your country location. Sorry, if we could we would x
Hi Melissa, I understand that you might not want to show your midriff but I think the two piece set from Boden looks great with a few centimetres of showing. And you could show your midriff if you dared! You have a great figure.
Hello Melissa. I love your videos. My figure is similar to yours but my legs are a bit heavier. I am 5' 4" tall. Can wide leg pants be too wide for someone that is shorter?
Absolutely they can, they can over power their figure and the key is the waistband. As long as you’re showing a proportionally smaller waistband/waistline to the width of your trousers then you’ll be ok but if you don’t go in at your waist and you carry your weight around the middle, then avoid very wide pants x
Melissa, it's always a joy and inspiring to watch your videos. I was excited to see the kitten heels. Order is already on the way! I've size 43 (11 UK) and my feet look shorter in them as in flats. But they are hard to find especially in this size. Would appreciate to have more options. Any ideas? I also appreciate the recycled material.
Wonderfully informative video as usual! Will the body shape master class with the petite model Antonia be out soon? As a 5’1” US size 6, I’ve really been looking forward to it!
Help please: Hi Melissa, love your videos so much. In a recent video you mentioned a tanning lotion you use that doesn’t stain clothes. I’ve searched through the links for several of your latest videos but cannot find the lotion on it. Could you please share the link or tell me which video it is on please. Thank you.
Hi Melissa, just tried the links and both say currently out of stock and don’t know when or if they will be available. Have you used any other brands you would recommend please? x
Hi Melissa. I am learning so much from you and my previous appointment with Claire. I have watched all your videos and picking up lots of tips. I am probably a bit ahead but as going to a Greek island with my family in 3 weeks I would love any suggestions for beach type jumpsuite and/ or short coords. My grandson aged 18/12 is coming so something practical, I’m in the menopause so don’t want too young and due to some weight gain this is the first year I’m feeling my legs don’t look that great in shorts😢I have ordered some in styles you suggest but just plain linen. Any suggestions appreciated in time for hols😊
Love the vivaia shoes, are they good for long narrow feet, I struggle to get ballet shoes to fit well without slipping off. The m&s blazer looked so good on u, I had bought it but returned it, it was too structured round the shoulder area, went for a biker style jacket instead. Another great inspirational video!
Hi. Great options, thank you. Can you let me know the cut of your jeans, the ones styled with the Bowden top? Are these the ones in the link? They look different. Thanks 😊
The jeans are by citizen of humanity, daphne straight leg crop jeans but they’re expensive I’m afraid (£300) so I didn’t include them on the board but if you Google them they’ll come up.
I love your style recommendations and have been following your advice. Thank you I look so much more put together. I’m 5’10”177.8 cm) with large bust and wide hips/thighs/calves but no tummy. This makes it challenging to order clothes- tops and jackets don’t button properly and sleeves and inseams are too short. My tops have to be 2 sizes larger than bottoms. Would love if you could include inseam and /or potential for sleeves or trousers to get lengthened by a tailored in the product descriptions.
Hi there. We do 1:1 styling for people just like yourself with specific needs as I have a wide and varied audience so I have to keep things fairly generic but we’d love to see if we could help you on a 1:1 basis. Details are on my website at www.mmpersonalstyling.co.uk
Hi Melissa. Thank you so much for another inspiring video. Am thinking of investing in a pair of Aria Vivaia shoes. How would you say their sizing is? Should I order my usual UK size 6 or size up? I have a wide foot.
I find that their ballet flats come up true to size, maybe slightly big but still ok but their loafers come up small. So I’m typically a uk 4.5 and i wear a uk 5 in their loafers and a 4 in their ballet flats.
Hi just a quick question, I suffer with plantar fasciitis and a chilies tendinitis so getting flats to support and cushion my foot is very difficult. Is there any you would suggest . The ones you show don't look supportive enough although lovely. Trying to get loafers that look good and support my feet is a real struggle.
Hello Melissa, binge watching your videos is more fun than binge watching Netflix! Quick question: Amazon seems to be out of the Hemline shoulder pads. What other shoulder pads, if any, would you recommend? Thank you!
Hello Melissa. Thank you for what you do. I appreciate your styling tips. I would like for you to do styling tips for a more laid back lifestyle. I work from home and live in a small country town in the North GA mountains in USA. I still want to look my age and look stylish. If you get more requests like this, I hope you may be able to do a session for us. Thank you ! You are fantastic.
How late into the year can I wear light-colored bottoms and shoes? Here in the U.S. they used to say not to after Labor Day (1st Monday in Sept) but I feel like nobody cares about that anymore.
Thank you for always providing the best advice!! I have a question.I have a lot of sleeveless dresses for the summer, and I would like an option other than a denim jacket or blazer to wear with it if I'm going to dinner and need something a bit more elevated. I'm small-5 ft 105 lb, so I don't like it to overpower me.
@@mmpersonalstyling Yes, I saw that, but I'm thinking that is too dressy still. I'm struggling with something in between too Casual and too formal. Thank you for responding.
Lovely video. 😊 I really don’t know what to wear, and am panicking as the weather gets warmer. My shoulders and bust are size 10-12, hips and thighs size 12-14, tummy/waist size 16-18! 🙈 If I shop for my tummy, I’m swamped everywhere else. If I shop for my top or my hips, I can’t breathe! Help?!? Deb x
Have a watch of the Body Shape Master Class video where I dress ladies with larger stomachs - i think there's 3 or 4 on there. Basically if your stomach is your widest part then thats the starting point of the hourglass figure. So, the only option for you is to broaden your shoulder area and then broaden your hips to match. When you do this your stomach will look smaller and even though you've broadened yourself out, you'll look balanced and therefore a dress size smaller. x
Hi Melissa, how do you go about styling longer midi skirts on a petite frame? I’m only 5ft and I’ve bought a few pleated skirts that finish just above the ankle, and I’m not sure how to style it properly with footwear to make sure the skirt doesn’t overpower my small frame?
Have a watch of this weeks video which is out on Sunday. It's with a 5ft 1 lady who needs help dressing her stomach and short torso and I put her in several longer skirts/dresses. Hope it helps!
I was surprised the cream dress was corduroy! It moves more like a soft wool!! Is a tweedy jacket going to make a plus sized woman look even bulkier? Ive been choosing flat fabrics to reduce bulk. The black and white set would look nicer if the print didnt line straight up and down.
Been Binge watching all your videos, they're kinda dark the majority of the time, an extra light would be wonderful, if possible! Adore all the videos, QUESTION?? how can I find my own style? videos would be great!
Thank you for all the great ideas again. I love the shoes and the Zara trousers. What size are you wearing ? I find it difficult to get the sizing right with Zara clothes.
In those Zara trousers I’m wearing a uk 6 which is totally mad as I’m never a 6 but they’re very generous on the hips and small on the waist so I’d definitely size down. X
I went dress shopping last week. Oh dear!😢 I listen to what you tell us and it helps and makes sense, but because im so short, 4'11 (almost) and gained weight during Covid (an excuse, it's my own darn fault), im finding it so difficult. Dresses are so hard because of my short torso. My torso is just short because I am. I'm looking forward to your next short model. I'm wondering if I might have to go for a faux 👗, matching skirt + top??
Yes, that’s often the answer although Antonia, my model next week had a short torso and I managed to find her some lovely pieces and she was a size 12-14 and 5ft. I’ve just got to edit the video then it will be up!
Do you have any recommendations for Vivaia size? They say they're EU size, but then the measurements on their size chart don't line up with any shoe size chart I've ever seen. Example the EU 38 is supposedly for foot length 24.17 .... that doesn't seem right. Thanks for any help!
I'm a UK 4.5 and in the flat pointed shoes I take a EU37 but in the loafers I have to wear a EU38 (don't know why!). That's about all i can offer you i'm afraid - I never used their foot chart, i just went off the EU sizing....
You look brilliant in everything as usual Melissa. I like the sound of those shoes but they look really flat which is bad for your feet. I get achy soles 😒. Have a lovely week x
Hi Melissa Another message...Im a 61yr old lady, and last July i joined a weight loss programme at my local gym. Ive lost just short of 3st, going from size 16 to 10/12. Initially, i was wearing really old t shirts and old trackie bottoms. Ive moved onto leggings now, and my old t shirts are getting really scruffy. Now that i am levelling out in weight, i dont mind investing a bit in some nice workout gear, as I'm in the gym 5 days per week. Could you do a video for gym gear please ? Im 4' 10" and busty, 34G, so sports bras are quite difficult to find. Thanks from Sue
Firstly well done 👍 amazing work! My favourite workout brands are Varley, lulu lemon, Adanola and sweaty Betty, with the odd bit of H&M thrown in there too! I often showcase these on Instagram. In terms of videos, there’s lots of ideas on gymwear in this video, hope it helps with some inspiration ruclips.net/video/1gXGicyiUwQ/видео.html
We do a monthly Amazon video and 99% of my videos include items from high street stores such as H&M. For as many people who asks for lower priced, I get the same amount of requests for higher priced items so I’m trying to balance the requests of my whole audience.
Loved Monty demonstrating the downward dog pose for us.😂

I find that their ballet flats come up true to size, maybe slightly big but still ok but their loafers come up small. So I’m typically a uk 4.5 and i wear a uk 5 in their loafers and a 4 in their ballet flats.
Thank you ❤
Hi just a quick question, I suffer with plantar fasciitis and a chilies tendinitis so getting flats to support and cushion my foot is very difficult. Is there any you would suggest . The ones you show don't look supportive enough although lovely. Trying to get loafers that look good and support my feet is a real struggle.
Try calla shoes x
Melissa, have good taste and expertise on fashion. (I'm similar to your body type).
Hello Melissa, binge watching your videos is more fun than binge watching Netflix! Quick question: Amazon seems to be out of the Hemline shoulder pads. What other shoulder pads, if any, would you recommend? Thank you!
Any that have the velcro on the top to keep them in place are good. I'll see if I can update the board with some good ones.
It's Viv Vie Ah !😊
Hello Melissa. Thank you for what you do. I appreciate your styling tips. I would like for you to do styling tips for a more laid back lifestyle. I work from home and live in a small country town in the North GA mountains in USA. I still want to look my age and look stylish. If you get more requests like this, I hope you may be able to do a session for us. Thank you ! You are fantastic.
I’ve already done one, have a look at this video please ruclips.net/video/1gXGicyiUwQ/видео.html
How late into the year can I wear light-colored bottoms and shoes? Here in the U.S. they used to say not to after Labor Day (1st Monday in Sept) but I feel like nobody cares about that anymore.
Nobody cares - wear them as long as you like just pair them with texture as the colder months progress.
Always love your videos Melissa. Thank you
I would like to know what size denim dress you were wearing. I think I’m a similar size. 😊
A uk size 8 but it was pulling across my chest so I would’ve gone up to a uk 10
@@mmpersonalstyling thank you so much for taking the time. I love your channel you look gorgeous is everything. 😀
Thank you for always providing the best advice!! I have a question.I have a lot of sleeveless dresses for the summer, and I would like an option other than a denim jacket or blazer to wear with it if I'm going to dinner and need something a bit more elevated. I'm small-5 ft 105 lb, so I don't like it to overpower me.
Maybe a nice boucle jacket, I showed a nice one from phase eight in my latest video. X
@@mmpersonalstyling Yes, I saw that, but I'm thinking that is too dressy still. I'm struggling with something in between too Casual and too formal. Thank you for responding.
You have the best info. Love everything you do.
Thank you, that's very nice of you to say. x
Helpful as always, thank you x
Thanks Melissa! 🔝video
If you need footbed support would the vivalia shoes give some support? The more flexible the soles the less time i can wear them.
No they wouldn’t I’m afraid.
Lovely video. 😊 I really don’t know what to wear, and am panicking as the weather gets warmer. My shoulders and bust are size 10-12, hips and thighs size 12-14, tummy/waist size 16-18! 🙈 If I shop for my tummy, I’m swamped everywhere else. If I shop for my top or my hips, I can’t breathe! Help?!? Deb x
Have a watch of the Body Shape Master Class video where I dress ladies with larger stomachs - i think there's 3 or 4 on there. Basically if your stomach is your widest part then thats the starting point of the hourglass figure. So, the only option for you is to broaden your shoulder area and then broaden your hips to match. When you do this your stomach will look smaller and even though you've broadened yourself out, you'll look balanced and therefore a dress size smaller. x
Oh, thank you so much for replying! I will look for those now. And thank you for the advice! Love your channel. 😊 xx
Hi Melissa, how do you go about styling longer midi skirts on a petite frame? I’m only 5ft and I’ve bought a few pleated skirts that finish just above the ankle, and I’m not sure how to style it properly with footwear to make sure the skirt doesn’t overpower my small frame?
Have a watch of this weeks video which is out on Sunday. It's with a 5ft 1 lady who needs help dressing her stomach and short torso and I put her in several longer skirts/dresses. Hope it helps!
Absolutely LOVE my Vivaia square toes sandals! I have a wide foot and a spinal compression and they feel like a slipper - even with a heel!
Great to hear!
I was surprised the cream dress was corduroy! It moves more like a soft wool!!
Is a tweedy jacket going to make a plus sized woman look even bulkier? Ive been choosing flat fabrics to reduce bulk.
The black and white set would look nicer if the print didnt line straight up and down.
The tweed jacket would be fine but keep the layer underneath thin and pair it with trousers/jeans that balance you out. X
@@mmpersonalstyling thank you!!
Been Binge watching all your videos, they're kinda dark the majority of the time, an extra light would be wonderful, if possible! Adore all the videos, QUESTION?? how can I find my own style? videos would be great!
You could do our personal styling for yourself course which takes you a more personslised styling journey!
Thank you for all the great ideas again. I love the shoes and the Zara trousers. What size are you wearing ? I find it difficult to get the sizing right with Zara clothes.
In those Zara trousers I’m wearing a uk 6 which is totally mad as I’m never a 6 but they’re very generous on the hips and small on the waist so I’d definitely size down. X
Brilliant ❤
I went dress shopping last week. Oh dear!😢 I listen to what you tell us and it helps and makes sense, but because im so short, 4'11 (almost) and gained weight during Covid (an excuse, it's my own darn fault), im finding it so difficult. Dresses are so hard because of my short torso. My torso is just short because I am. I'm looking forward to your next short model. I'm wondering if I might have to go for a faux 👗, matching skirt + top??
Yes, that’s often the answer although Antonia, my model next week had a short torso and I managed to find her some lovely pieces and she was a size 12-14 and 5ft. I’ve just got to edit the video then it will be up!
Great video. Thanks. What size are you wearing in the white boucklet jacket thanks
UK size 10
Do you have any recommendations for Vivaia size? They say they're EU size, but then the measurements on their size chart don't line up with any shoe size chart I've ever seen. Example the EU 38 is supposedly for foot length 24.17 .... that doesn't seem right. Thanks for any help!
I'm a UK 4.5 and in the flat pointed shoes I take a EU37 but in the loafers I have to wear a EU38 (don't know why!). That's about all i can offer you i'm afraid - I never used their foot chart, i just went off the EU sizing....
Love the denim dress!
Me too - when it wasn't gaping!!
You look brilliant in everything as usual Melissa. I like the sound of those shoes but they look really flat which is bad for your feet. I get achy soles 😒. Have a lovely week x
Melissa a while ago you showed the black sock boot from vivaia. Do you still rate that? Trying to fill a gap in my capsule wardrobe. Thanks xx
Absolutely yes, especially the waterproof version.
How do you pull off a 2 piece belly (fat above and below with the waist between the two) with front pleats?
It’s all about the top you pair it with, not the actual trousers. We do 1:1 sessions where we can show you this x
So brilliant
Are you coming to the States???? !!! Please say you're coming to New York!!!
I am but not sure on the location yet!
Hi Melissa
Do you have link to that chunky bracelet please? I can’t find it in the description. Thanks 😘
It’s sold out now I’m afraid 😢
@@mmpersonalstyling oh no 🙈 just my luck. Thanks for letting me know x
I'm excited to hear you are coming to the US!! Will there be any opportunities to fans to meet you?
If you watch tv over there then yes!!! I’ll let everyone know when things are finalised. X
Hi Melissa
Another message...Im a 61yr old lady, and last July i joined a weight loss programme at my local gym. Ive lost just short of 3st, going from size 16 to 10/12. Initially, i was wearing really old t shirts and old trackie bottoms. Ive moved onto leggings now, and my old t shirts are getting really scruffy. Now that i am levelling out in weight, i dont mind investing a bit in some nice workout gear, as I'm in the gym 5 days per week. Could you do a video for gym gear please ? Im 4' 10" and busty, 34G, so sports bras are quite difficult to find. Thanks from Sue
Firstly well done 👍 amazing work! My favourite workout brands are Varley, lulu lemon, Adanola and sweaty Betty, with the odd bit of H&M thrown in there too! I often showcase these on Instagram. In terms of videos, there’s lots of ideas on gymwear in this video, hope it helps with some inspiration ruclips.net/video/1gXGicyiUwQ/видео.html
@@mmpersonalstyling Thank you. Very useful, 'cause when I'm not in the gym I'm dog walking !
Love your videos!
I have a narrow foot which is why I haven't yet tried the Vivaia shoes yet. Can you tell me how they fit a narrow foot....
I can't i'm afraid, I don't have a narrow foot....
I love it all but some of the items are very expensive. Can you think about including affordable options as well?
We do a monthly Amazon video and 99% of my videos include items from high street stores such as H&M. For as many people who asks
for lower priced, I get the same amount of requests for higher priced items so I’m trying to balance the requests of my whole audience.
Hi Melissa, what color are the initials on that Zara bag @13:38?
They’re black
@@mmpersonalstyling Thank you, again :)
