Antonia is just so lovely and honest with her feelings about her conscious area. Thanks for another great video.
Our pleasure!
I've gotten SO MANY compliments for my styling since I try to follow your rules, it's just amazing. And I stopped thinking about my belly alltogether! You really changed my life! It's about more than just clothes...
Love hearing this, thank you for sharing.
"I just pull aside" - hilarious! I thought it was only me. Great, precious styling tips here. Many thanks.
Sometimes I’m too honest for my own good!!!
I had three c-sections, too. Have the apron. I completely understand.
Dunlop. That is what I call mine. 2 csections and weight loss now. She just has done lopped over. 🤷🏼♀️ I am down 90 pounds so she is hanging lower. This was awesome. I am shopping for new summer clothes. Now a 14, so I can buy regular size clothes now plus! Loved the info. Ready to go shopping.
Dunlop 🤣…. Well done on your weight loss journey, enjoy your new shape!
Thank you ladies for such a wonerful and helpful video!! Antonia looked amazing in all of these outfits!! I would never have tried on the rainbow colored dress but it was probably my favorite!! Just gorgeous on!!❤ I feel that my shape and size is so similar but with a larger bust. Being 5'3" with a tummy, short torso and larger bust is such a challenge when it comes to fashion!! Thanks again to you both!! ❤
Wow, she looks great in everything. Such great advice, thank you!
I need someone to definitely help me choosing a wardrobe. She looks absolutely beautiful. Love your style as well🩵
Thank you so much!! We do help people all over the world on a 1:1 basis, you can find out the details at www.mmpersonalstyling.co.uk
Beautifull!!!
Antonia looks very stylish and lovely in all outfits!
I think the rainbow dress was the most flattering on her and the striped one was begging me to buy it
I also look smaller in tighter shirts but there is a fine line between flattering and too tight/too thin (I have a big bust for my size) and I think lots of your advice apply for me even if my body weight are not on my stomach.
I've never tought about "The safety layer" like that, but I actually feel it!
You and all your team are teaching me how to shop better and to consider different shapes. Thank you
Great,I am excactly the same shape due to the same reasons with the same problems.At 80 yrs I would be happy to wear all her suggestions.
Great video! I love the double layer tops. They help smooth. I still struggle with the back and feeling like my back (above hip) area is accenuated. I will try the light layer shirt! It looks great on Antonia! Thanks as always.
My budget won't stretch to £150 for a pair of trousers unfortunately. I love the looks you created, but will have to look for cheaper alternatives.
I love your channel, so happy I found it. I can relate to Antonia, I am also 5 foot 1" and have trouble getting clothes to fit me. I was very surprised to hear about the c-sections and how she described her tummy- I've had 2 c-sections and I have the same issues (how the tummy bubbles). I also have the same wobbly insecurities with my tummy. I just turned 50 and I am putting on weight in my middle for the first time in my life. Ugh. I am not able to afford many of the pieces you show, however I am trying to incorporate your hourglass shaping tips with my budget. My lifestyle is very casual, I appreciate that you show clothes for all different lifestyles. Thank you Melissa!
Thank you. This week I took a client shopping to H&M and mango and she is only 5ft 2 so hopefully you’ll find some pieces that she wore suitable to yourself and your budget.
Great styling, but what type of shoe do you recommend for me who cant wear heals (because of a foot problem) ? Thanks
Depends on what your lifestyle is and what you’re wearing to begin with but generally speaking loafers, trainers and boots
So I adopted a siberian forest cat who had a huge belly flap, apron, snack pack, whatever you want to call it. The vet says this is called the "Primordial Pouch", The primordial pouch is a belly flap composed of a small amount of fatty tissue and loose skin. Ahem. Doesn't that just sound more like it's nature's intention? LOL
🤣🤣🤣…. I bet the cat isn’t trying to hide it either!!!
What is it with the giant armholes on so many sleeveless tops?
Come on, manufacturers. We don't want our bras showing and or gapping/bagging. 😮
I agree!
I absolutely HATE those oversized armholes. I refuse to buy anything made this way. Not the newest thing is those fluffy, "flutter" sleeves that flip and flap around. Stupid and ugly. Take them away please!!
You had me at three C-sections... Same here. Lovely looks on you! Thanks for being vulnerable and sharing!!! 💝
You are so welcome!
Me too!
Me too I've had 3 C- sections and I call it my bum bag!!
I’ve had 11 sections and I’m under 5’
Thank you Antonia for being so open. You look amazing and the openness addressing issues makes us all feel that just like you, we are all beautiful. Thank you Melissa for helping us understand how to invest in pieces that will make us feel as gorgeous as Antonia.
You are so welcome
Fantastic video, I too am built just like her only I have a little bigger belly! Thank you for acknowledging us 5’1” women! We are not all tall and lean!
I’m 5’3 , age 63, and built a lot like this lady. I love all the pieces you have chosen for her. Very flattering and she looks so pretty! Good tips.
Thanks for sharing!
Please keep dressing Antonia. I get so much out of it and love the style. I hope you can do a summer feature with her with shorts and casual shirts!
Thank you for using a body height and weight so many of us are.
Lol “ I just pull it to the side “ you said it out loud. Everyone is laughing and saying me too . Great video.
😁
In a one piece bathing suit, yes.😊
Huge thank you to Antonia. She looked amazing ❤ especially loved the rainbow dress.
Brilliant advice as always. I am a 5’2” tree trunk body type 😂 still haven’t found that specific type to dress myself after.
The same rules would apply to you as they did Antonia.
Thank you for showing the two skirt looks at the end and explaining the styling aspects. Great video ❤
I came here to say the same thing! She looked fabulous in that dress.
And me five foot tree trunk or l say l look like a barrel
I like how Antonia says she's "wobbly" in the middle, and I’m a lot more wobbly because I’m 76 and really "loose!" Thank you, Melissa, for these tips. I’m going to buy some shoulder pads. 😊 Great video. I really love these outfits on Antonia.
You're so welcome!
Thank you Melisa and Antonia. I am 5ft no inches. I am 69 but in my head I’m still 17. Over the years I’ve had problems with trousers, my inside leg only measures 25” I have a short torso, I think you called it and in the last ten years I have developed a huge stomach. I love to wear dresses, not as keen on tops and skirts so I’m very happy I’ve found you.
That lump as you call it, on the lower portion of your stomach has been also called an apron.
As in nursing!!
Yes that was what I called it ,when I was still working .
Melissa, thank you for sharing your knowledge in such an open, practical and positive way. You and your team are the sort of women every woman needs in her life. ❤
Wow, thank you!
My favorite video so far. As you say in the UK this is brilliant. Thank you Antonia for being so open and I loved when you said you didn’t feel comfortable in the v-neck shirt even though you were told it looked great. It was super helpful seeing the items that didn’t work and explaining why. I often look at myself and know I don’t like it, but don’t know why.
Melissa, you’ve truly reshaped the way I dress. You understand the lumps and bumps of ordinary people!
Antonia looks lovely in all the outfits. Well done Melissa. 🌺🌺
I’ve got the lower tummy thing going on. Here in Australia I call it the verandah over the tool box!😂🤣🇦🇺🤣🙄🇦🇺
🤣🤣
Yes, indeed we do!!
Very funny!!
😅😅😅
Thanks Melissa, I am taller than Antonia but have the same stomach issue. Also you are now my casual guru, got loads of compliments in just wearing the similar tone leisure suit , matching coat, hat etc...... thank you so much.
So glad to hear that, everyone loves a compliment!
Same stomach issue, short too, even at my clothing size (Canada, US sizing) usually 4 or 6. So wrong!🥴
Melissa, thanks again for another great video. Many thanks to Antonia for modelling. Perhaps, if I'm not being too forward to suggest it, but a video on accessories. How to accessorise, what types of accessories for different types of outfits, & different price points. I do hope you enjoyed the fashion show last week?
I did, thank you. I’ll add an accessories video to the request list x
I love Antonia's personality. Thanks for sharing this! She looks great in the fitted tops.
You are so welcome!
I‘m so going to style my mum with this video! She asked me to go shopping with her, so the timing is perfect. 😂
Have fun!
I’m 55 and 5’3 with an overweight Apple shaped body. Thank you for the tips! We struggle to find anything that looks flattering! ❤️🇦🇺🇬🇧
Happy to help!
At last, a video for us shorties with stomachs 😊 I have had lots of surgeries for colo rectal cancer and also have a stoma and parastomal hernia so this is very informative. Thanks ❤
You’re very welcome. 😊
I’m technically an hourglass shape but my torso is so small that it’s not long enough to see my waist go in. There’s only an inch or two between my ribs and hip bones. Also, I have a short chest meaning that lots of clothes have straps too long and end up revealing a lot of my chest. Looking forward to tips on that!
I’m beholden to the people who volunteer so if you want to volunteer then I’ll happily dress you. X
I have a thumb gap between ribs and hip… not even enough for a waistband or belt 😭🤣
Thank you so much for this video. I am 5’1” and have the same problems after three caesareans. I’m older than Antonia but found the hints and info really helpful. I am a happy subscriber.
Thank you I found it. I call it a kangaroo pouch as I come from Australia. I always worry about wide leg as well
I've just got an office job where I need to be smart casual and was stressing about what to wear. I carry weight around my middle (menopause) and have a large bust, broad shoulders but now I have so many ideas and will be popping to M&S for a try on!! Thank you both 😊
Most of the items aren’t in store, only online (unless you live close to a flagship store that is). X
I’m 4’9 and post menopausal and I notice my mid section is changing too. I love the first dress. I’m looking into getting that. 😊I enjoyed watching this video thank you!
You’re very welcome x
As someone who is 5 feet tall 48 I am so happy you’ve uploaded this video. Please do a video only on undergarments and finding the right fit? It makes such a huge difference and I struggle finding the right size. ❤❤
We cover this in our online styling course, it’s too hard to find a model willing to stand in their underwear on RUclips.
Yes, great idea.
I’m 5 ft as well as!!!! Thank you so much!!
Gosh you stole my thoughts exactly. What undergarments do you choose
Couldn’t agree more. Really stumped with the underwear. Nearly alll bras are padded making an already big problem bigger(so to speak…. I’m very like your lovely assistant except with a bigger bust and just feel like a brick on legs!)
Am chunky with 2 tummies. Am long waisted, so short legs. 😮 Used to be size 2; now size 20. Help!
Of course we can help, please visit www.mmpersonalstyling.co.uk to see all of your options. X
Thank you so much!! As a short waisted person also conscious about my midsection, all of this is gold. Antonia looks amazing!
Glad it was helpful!
This was so helpful. Although I’m 5’8, I have all the same issues as the model. I usually wear dresses in petite size so the waist hits me at my waist
This was so good!
What a wonderful series. I have the same body type as Antonia and I have completely changed my mind on how to dress. I have a beautiful dress and when I wear it people ask if I have lost weight. Now I know that it’s the drape of the dress. Snug at the bust scoop neck drapes over the “problem” areas. Thank you so much for these lessons
Love that ❤️
Melissa and Antonia you two are gorgeous! 🤩Love the styles you chose for Antonia 🥰
Thank you!
It's called an "apron"
The official name of the tummy that hangs lower is the pannus. I adored the clothes today. Tracy
You learn something new everyday, thank you!!!
I was burning gray matter over that. I kept coming up with pannicula which I don’t even think is anything! Thank you!
It’s panniculus! We were both close :)
Will you be doing petite pear soon? I am learning so much, and seeing some lovely choices. Thanks 😊
I’m a petite pear so anything I wear would work for you.
Antonia is lovely. I particularly liked the cream bomber jacket w/the brown pants and the dark blue dress w/white boots. This will help me style my petite mom.
Could you do a jeans video with Antonia??!!!
Yes, tonights video covers this with Antonia - here's the link rstyle.me/+W6LtuV5cwNboDHpiPWnZmg
Thank you Melissa and beautiful Antonia. This was the best class ever. I especially feel like this is for me, because at five foot two. The tighter white shirt looked amazing on her. I know we are our harshest critics. She just looks amazing in that denim dress . She looks teeny..no problems what’s so ever. The second dress was amazing. I would have never had picked that. I love the coat. Let’s be honest I loved it all. ❤❤❤ Melissa you are amazing. !!!!
Thank you 🙏 glad you liked it x
I have that same problem, round stomach, 3-C-section pouchy stomach and short torso and short 5" 2"
Fabulous as usual! I am a taller person with the short abundant waist…thank you for the great tips.
Absolutely inspiring, and a very brave lady. Exactly my shape. The rainbow dress looks brilliant. The one thing I’ve always avoided is horizontal stripes!
You, also, look lovely yourself
Thank you!
I can totally relate to the models body shape , I am the same and have had 3 caesareans also .Good tips here to disguise that stomach area .😊
What a great Woman. By doing this Video she will inspire other Ladies to feel good in their Clothes by wearing the right pieces and by taking Melissa tips on board.
5ft 2" and also 3 C-sections. I can never find a dress that looks decent on me. I love the teal dress you chose for Antonia! Great video!
It's hard to get something that still flatters once you sit down, especially the ones that are tighter.
We disagree actually, it’s easy if you’re buying the right pieces in the right size and cut to begin with…. We can help you do this. Please visit www.mmpersonalstyling.co.uk if it’s of any interest to you x
There were some great choices. Antonia looked great in all of them.
I’m 4’11” same as her apple shape thank you for bringing her back again.
You are awesome, Melissa! So helpful. And thanks to Antonia - love her haircut.
I have this exact shape, multiple c-sec as well, and I like short skirts and short shorts bc my legs are a nice shape. Is this a no-no or is there a way to make it work?
Edit- forgot to say thank you so much for this video!!
Beautiful, you help women love their bodies more.
I absolutely love your videos! I have revamped my closet, and following all of your advice am loving my new wardrobe! Looking good makes you FEEL good!
One of the biggest pieces of your advice that has hit home is to purchase items for you REAL life. I’ve been buying EVERYDAY wear with your suggestions, and LOVE it!
THANK YOU!!!!!
Wonderful!
I have enjoyed all of your videos and have bought some of the clothes you feature. I live in Houston, Texas which is very, very hot in the summer. I have an apple belly (after having 5 children) and would love your recommendations on shorts and outfits to wear while I am running after my grandchildren. Thank you a million times.
I’ll cover shorts in the summer but right now they’re not in our shops I’m afraid. X
Thnku for sharing grt tips of styling ❤
Hey pls make a video on larger (protruding) stomach n long torso with height 5'3"..😊
Stay Blessed Stay Happy Always 🥰😘🤗🧚♀️🦄🌈🧿
I absolutely love this collection. Thank you ! (from a 5’2)
So glad!
OMG someone who understands that an empire waist works for our body type (petite short-torso apple)!!!
5’2” over here! Loved all the looks and tips. Antonia is stunning 🤩 I specially liked all the trouser looks and the linen striped dress. Thank you Melissa! ❤
Yay! Thanks for showing the long jean skirt too, I find that hard to wear and I share the same body shape. You look wonderful!
My thoughts exactly. I thought she was going to need a more voluminous skirt to balance the waist.
I am trying to learn more about what to wear. I'm 4'10", chubby, but I'm very, very top heavy. NOTHING looks good. Also, I'm not comfortable in dresses. I feel like its always a dress that does it. Im a def jean a top person. And because of my top. Dresses don't fit on the top and too big on the bottom. As well as blazers. #1 I get way too hot and they arms and bust never fit properly! The arms are always 15 ft too long but they stand straight out because I can't move them. They are to tight. And bigger, is just bigger not fitter! Im not trying to be negative, just trying to say more about the struggles im facing. This is just a few! But dresses are not really for me. I really need summer looks also that dont break the bank. Uhg life lol. I keep learning!
This video is SPOT ON! I´ve loved all your videos, but this one speaks to me. I´m 5´3´, I used to be hourglass shaped, but my small waist has disappeared into a soft middle. This,
despite regular weight training at the gym. I´ve had a terrible time finding clothes in recent years. Add to that, I´m a ballroom dance student (Yes, at my advanced age), and this video helped explain why I've had such hard time finding dance clothes, both for practice and for performance, that are flattering. I am shopping while watching the video. Did you know that the adorable denim dress is now completely sold out. I'm sure it's because of this video. If you see something similar, I'd love to have a look. Also, a couple of the shoe choices weren't visible. I'd especially like to see what the "brown sandal" looked like. Thank you MM and Antonia. I feel lighter just watching the video.
Thank you for all you do! You're wonderful and you give such great tips!
Thank you so much for this video. I am very much Antonio's shape and struggle so much with the t-shirt situation. Have just ordered the boden double layered top 🤞x
Glad it was helpful!
Interesting about what you said regarding the “shelf”, because I definitely have that but I have no children or any surgeries, so I wonder if it’s just age, really, that creates that shape
Loved this video. I have the same stomach problem. I’m 66, 5 ft 4 but my chest is 34G. I never wear white on top unless there’s a layer on top like you showed. I also have a short torso & long legs so people always think I’m much taller. Keep making these. I learn so much. By the way I live in NY. ❤
Also 5ft 4in (really 5 ft 3 1/2in!), 58 and a NYer and trying to style around my C-section shelf and tummy has been so frustrating! Have been trying these styling tips and it's getting better.
Look, I love a good trouser but being the same size as Antonia I find that the type of trousers you are dressing her in have way too much fabric going on in the upper leg. I find when I wear a trouser that is more fitted in the upper leg (not tight, just less baggy) and then flares out more toward the bottom, it does wonders to elongate my shorter stature. Same goes for the cream blazer... wouldn't it elongate her legs more, creating a taller leaner appearance, if that blazer was just a tad bit shorter? I feel like I'm correct here, in my assessment, but if I'm wrong, please let me know in what way, as I'd really like to understand. Thank you. Thank you, also, always, for all of your efforts in showing all different body types.
Yes that would work too but it creates a very different look from one that Antonia wanted.
@@mmpersonalstyling she didn't want to appear taller and leaner?🤔 wow, haha, that's like my mission in life😜
Across the pond in America we call it a stomach apron! From surgeries where they cut the muscle you never naturally get that flat stomach back…
I LOVE your guest
I really appreciate the attention to detail but also your comments about “hot countries” because as much as I really like the navy blue cargo , white shirt , blue striped shirt brown long line coat the whole thing had me sweating by watching.😅 but she looked beautiful and if yall have that cool a weather then that is great .
At 25:06 the second model in from the left - I would love to see a body shape master class with her as I can really relate to her shape, height and age 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻☺️. Thank you for todays video, as usual so helpful and educating. Superb ⭐️
Thank you so much for styling for petite ❤❤❤ at 4’11” it’s hard to dress for office wear daily. I love all these suggestions so much.
You are so welcome!
Wow! Thank you. for a 5ft, big boobed woman with the same body issues, I have found this masterclass to be so illuminating. I'm off to review my wardrobe.
Best of luck!
First outfit the denim fabric is too heavy. But the style is nice. And the model has great legs!
Dramatically Helpful with the visual!
The striped rick rack dress is gorgeous. My favorite! Carrying the big tote bags gets in the way of seeing the full outfit. Maybe show the outfit first, then add the bag?
I also am happy for Antonia to be on the show. Even though I am not short(5'7). I carry weight about the middle with a short torso, and the stomach apron( fupha) from having 2 c-sections.
I have loved Antonia since you styled her in the patterned puff sleeve dress from Zara last year (which I bought btw, and have received MANY compliments on it). MORE ANTONIA PLEASE!!! Specifically, I would love to see you style her in matching 2 pc sets (skirt / shirt or short / shirt combos). THANK YOU!!!!
Great Melissa. Well done my problem is a long torso at 5'4"!?!
That’s an easy one to rectify by simply wearing high waisted trousers then tucking your top in, the will re proportion your frame.
5’2 and the same body type with big boobs on top of all of that. 😂. Yay for this video.
Tip, couldn't see shoes very well in filming.
Thank you for this.I've had 2 caesarean sections and I'm so self conscious about my lower stomach 'shelf'😢
Fantastic video. SO useful. Thanks so much x
Glad it was helpful!
This is very helpful as usual. Can you show someone who has the tummy area that starts under the bra all the way to the hip? I have a hard time not looking pregnant. I have learned some very helpful tips from your styling advice. Thank you!
Have a watch of our 6 women, 6 different body shapes video, that includes lady like that. X
