Not just the typical “influencer” who only likes to cover trends and show off what looks good on them. This right here is what the majority of women are struggling with and could use help with. Bravo! And Helen looks super lovely! So happy she decided to be a model for this.

I literally had a “gasp - oh wow” moment at the pink dress, and then that pleated skirt - another one. Helen looks amazing and therefore will feel amazing and therefore will feel confident, stand up straight and have an amazing day/night dressed this way. This is the emotional “good medicine” of styling. It’s not selfish, not vain, not superficial. It nourishes our soul, builds us up and sets us up to be the best we can be. I just love these videos Melissa, you are spreading such goodness in the world.

Have been searching and searching for this kind of video. I too lost weight and have "the apron". I'm so self conscious about it and always trying to hide it. It's the kind of thing that shapewear cannot address properly and I am not a fan of surgery as I've endured many for health reasons - it is something I choose to live with then. These are great ideas, so thank you Melissa, and Helen thank you for sharing yourself. I knew there had to be a community of us out there somewhere. It's difficult to talk about. I hope you do more of these Melissa.. PLEASE😊❤

I'm 59 and just now realizing that making something larger is what works for the overall look. We're always conditioned to try to look smaller. My shoulders are larger than my narrow hips, and I have a straight waist (kind of boy shaped😊). I've never thought of making my hips looks larger until you explained - it sunk in about the 10th time😂. I found a linen blend pant that have hips sort of cut in. Wow- first time I've ever looked like I have a waist!! Thanks to Helen for helping this sink in. Beautiful flattering outfits!

I like all of the outfits, but especially the pink dress with the black boot. It is SO feminine and flattering. The one thing I haven't been brave enough to do is wear a shorter blouse...in the front, but it makes such a difference. I also love the black and white striped top at the bottom of the white jumper. I have a pair of black pants similar to those that I've had for many years, but they aren't thin or thick, they're soft and go with so many different outfits. I've always know that a V-neck with wider shoulders is a great look. Thanks so much for a refresher course in camaflouge!🤗

I always find this channel helpful and positive in it's outlook and ability to find ways of using things I already own. That said, I never wear any heels higher than 1" and I'm only 5 ft (1.52 meters) tall, and with eyesight and slight balance issues (I'm 73), heels are simply a bridge too far. As I do sew for myself, watching videos like this helps me choose better patterns, and create more wardrobe choices with items that are made specifically for my body.

Just a tip for trying on overly long pants. Back in my distant youth i worked in a jean shop. We used to turn the excess jean length to the inside to disguise it for trying on purposes. Looked tidy and gave a reasonably accurate impression of how the legs would look at the proper length. That pink wrap dress was beautiful on her! But with the tan boots ☺️ So was the blue pant suit at the end, that looked stunning on her!

When I was young shoulder pads were in style and I thought it made women look so nice and stylish. Now I understand why. I am 5ft1in with short legs, short waisted a belly apron, and big boobs. You have just taught me so many things to do to correct all that! And I am only halfway through!! lol God bless you. I would never have thought to wear a dress again and I would love to. Must go watch.......Linda Added on... There are no words to describe how awesome that was to me. Everything you did for her was so perfect. She must feel like a queen...she looks like one.

I love when you style 'real women' for us because when you model outfits you look great in everything as you have such a good figure but us older ladies of a certain age, usually have areas less than perfect that we want to hide. I have truly learnt so much from watching your videos and am dressing much better these days using your invaluable tips and knowledge. I know you didn't use it today, but I would love to see a video on shapewear showing before and after examples if possible so that we can see which shapewear pieces help disguise which bits so to speak.

There’s hope for the “APRONS” of the world. I’ve lost 80 pounds and like Helen, I have an apron, narrow shoulders, and as they are called here in the states “Batwings”. Somehow I finally realized that I needed v-necks and shorter tops. Tunics are not good for my 5’3” frame. Just ordered some shoulder pads thanks to your wonderful advice. If I was in your area, I would run to you for more wonderful insights, unfortunately I’m in the US. Thank you.

I've lost 40 lbs. Over 1 year period. I've given away most of my big clothes 20 or 1x,2x. Gradually I am buying so more clothes. I have learned a lot listening to you however I have used some of your suggestions before I listened to your show. I do use body suits when I dress up. Love them

This was so perfect. I’ve never been able to work within the shape guidelines (triangle-apple-etc) because, basically, I’m a rectangle. I’m the same measurement from shoulder to waist to hips. My legs are proportionate to my body. I have no discernible waist line and an apron tummy. This video was very enlightening on how to work with my body type. I’m definitely buying shoulder pads for a start! Thank you so much!

I found this body shape tutorial one of the most helpful ever. My stomach shape has kept me confused about my body shape and now I understand why. And then to move the focus from body shape to restoring the hour glass silhouette is unbelievably helpful!!! Woohoo and thank you to yourself and your lovely model!

Melissa, really appreciate this video of lower belly dressing, which is problematic in looking our best. It was amazing how some of the material draped straight downward. Trying to remember all your teaching points and illustrations. Good luck to Helen for her formal event and much continued success on her journey. She looks so good, and your dog stole 💗 the show! Monty really knows how to drape his legs and neck to make himself model worthy!
