[@thomasfann1]

Thanks, Melissa! Love your videos!! Can you pin these to the top of the comments?

[@2010lrain]

It's so refreshing to see women of all shapes sizes and ages being styled. So many videos are of the KZbinr themselves styling for their body type. I thought Bronda looked great, particularly in the jumpsuit. Well done Melissa you did it again 👍❤️

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Thank you so much!!

[@wannabe41]

Absolutely agree!

[@Notperfecttonya]

I absolutely agree, too!! These videos with people who look more like me are changing my style game!!! Thank you, Melissa (and Bronda). I’m feeling more confident in my clothing choices and seeing real life models helps me get out of my own biases about my body and what looks good-like pulling the cardigans and blazers over my breasts! And the half tuck over leaving the shirt untucked. Thank you!

[@andie9762]

Thank you Bronda for being willing to be styled on camera. X

[@suzannebunbury2961]

Bronda was wonderful!!!! She looks great in your choices. She seems like a quick study who will be able to apply your wisdom.

[@sherrywallis7718]

Definitely. Thanks so much.

[@brondadossett1321]

Thank you for all your lovely comments ladies. Melissa is such an inspiration. I'm glad other ladies with similar problems have found the video helpful.

[@APTTMHYforever]

Thank you Bronda🥰

[@pegsbarton6353]

I am just like you in shape Bronda so it was really useful to see this video. I'm a lot shorter though, only 5' 2" which doesn't help! It looked as though you enjoyed yourself too which was lovely to see. Thanks for being brave enough to model for Melissa.

[@mmpersonalstyling]

You were a pleasure to work with Bronda. Ps. Have you seen that the blue jumpsuit is in the sale - go on, treat yourself, you looked fabulous in it!

[@amkul9552]

Best video ever! You were so graceful and a good sport.

[@annewest-ellmers1807]

You looked fabulous in all of the outfits, but definitely choose the jumpsuit... it was a knockout!

[@malibumoon]

I'm 49 and after children I became this shape, except I have very broad shoulders. I'm also 5'4", so shorter legs. I'm watching a few of your series to determine what I need to look slimmer. I love the tips. Thank you from Texas.

[@amma7244]

Rhonda bless your heart for this. I have the same tum in my 60’s and am at a loss how to dress for this. Your generosity in doing this is so helpful!❤️🇨🇦

[@wannabe41]

Bronda looks absolutely smashing in color! Many thanks to her for being your model and showing how wearing the right clothing for one’s body type can make such a huge difference. And I love that Monty has to have his 15 minutes of fame in every video. I always smile when I see him.

[@mmpersonalstyling]

🐶🐶...

[@kbwayne3539]

I am so glad youtube suggested you. I am 53 and describe myself as a busty, petite, plump apple. Seriously, watching your other busty / apple video I immediately purchased some wide- and straight-leg pants for autumn / winter: most of my pants were slim-leg or slim-cut joggers. Seeing (a thinner, taller version of) my figure in your different outfits and *why* they flatter really opened my eyes. Thank you so much.

[@mmpersonalstyling]

That’s great to hear, thank you for sharing x

[@jmk1962]

What a lovely lady. I love Bronda's hair, really fashionable. Those long cardigans and jackets really suit her and although I personally hate jumpsuits (for toilet reasons), she looked fabulous in it. Great advice from Melissa as usual. I love this series of real people with real bodies.

[@rolson1695]

Melissa, you've helped me more than anyone else in styling my body shape best. THANK YOU so much! Bronda, thank YOU for allowing Melissa to use you for helping those of us with the same 'trouble spots'! You looked lovely- ESPECIALLY in that DARLING last jumpsuit!! SO flattering!

[@t.t.9081]

100% agree!! ❤️ Last outfits making me def rethink jumpsuits. I’m longwaisted so I particularly struggle with them but looked so good on the lady I’d love to try that one on.

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Go for it, you've got nothing to loose! Or, just try a co-ordinated set and that way you can get the look of a jumpsuit but it's still in 2 pieces. x

[@mmpersonalstyling]

I'm so glad! Thank you for commenting and letting me know - it makes it all worth it!

[@izaskungofi10]

Thank you Bronda!!! Great job Melissa.😍

[@calendarbumb4037]

This was amazing. Thank you. I am large bust too and it’s really annoying. Thank you for all the tips. I never thought of pulling up my sleeves and a longer necklace.. and to STOP pulling my sweaters over my front. Thank you again.

[@spiritmatter1553]

Agree, important lesson learned!

[@KO-lx3tp]

It seems that most designers make tops for smaller busted women, it’s so difficult for me to find dresses as the top is often too tight and pushes the bust inward

[@juliesmith5704]

So great to see examples of real women with real issues! Bronda is a lovely lady and very brave - thank you so much for being brave enough to show us all the way to better styling. Melissa great video as always - thank you

[@Wingate8000]

I love these outfits on Bronda. She looks fantastic in these bright colours and I love that she’s not being styled to wear black/navy as slimming colours.

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Absolutely not - embracing the curves for sure!

[@joansalisbury2629]

@@mmpersonalstyling Thanks 🙏

[@lesliefoldy2767]

Most important for larger-chest ladies is to get a very supportive and UPLIFTING bra. Lifting your bust takes years off your look.

[@suecowley2599]

Well done Bronda for being styled on camera. Its really brilliant to see ladies who resemble me and my body shape rather than slim models being styled, real women!

[@Notperfecttonya]

Bronda is beautiful! I love the outfits you chose. That raspberry color was beautiful on her and that scarf!! Loved it!! I liked how Bronda modeled! She used her dance training while giving us a little light hearted fun. She seems like a lively person. Thank you, Melissa and Bronda! 🥰❤️

[@betternpopcorn]

Thank you Bronda for being so brave. You look absolutely stunning in those outfits. They seem to bring you to life.

[@mmpersonalstyling]

I agree x

[@carolefreeman2544]

Wow! It’s so nice to see someone built like me. I’m a 36H I am an Apple shape with a thick middle, no waist definition and lack a bum! My legs are slim and I have small ankles. My Arms are ok. I find it hard to fit clothes. This video has helped a lot.

[@lorraineriley6393]

love how down to earth you are and genuine. it's hard when you're big busted and thick round the middle. love the advice.x

[@vaska1999]

What a marvellous demonstration in styling! The difference between each starting look and the styled alternative is amazing. Thank you both Melissa and Bronda!

[@ritastutler1470]

In my younger days I always wanted to design clothes for us bigger busted ladies..ended up doing hair for a living. I am a d size and I think most clothes are designed for c and smaller busts. I do wear a lot of v neck tops. Thanks Melissa..love your channel. ♡♡♡

[@rosalinddavies8466]

So true I like H &M shirts with. Dark trousers jeans very chic but flattering look

[@andrea_dubai2018]

MELISSA, you are by far the best stylist I've ever come across. I had to get to 59 to find someone like you (just a few days ago), and I've been watching most of your videos this weekend. I'm pretty similar to this lady, just with a little flatter belly. I really appreciate that someone is giving such great advice. 😊

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Wow, thank you so much, you've made my Sunday morning! x

[@pilar689]

I agree!

[@asdf7711]

Thanks Bronda and Melissa. I'm sure everyone with a big chest knows they should wear V-necks, but they clearly work. Not just from this video but also your past videos, I've learned that shoulder pads transform your shape - I would never have considered them. Bronda looked fabulous in colour, especially coral (no. 1), the teal suit (albeit too big), the M&S dress (didn't like the black belt so much) and the blue jumpsuit. The Boden top at the end had a good shape for her and matched the teal jacket. Thanks Monty too for the guest appearance!

[@leeannschaffer1433]

I got so much out of this - even though I'm five feet tall and very short waisted.🥰

[@miriamgladen9615]

Exactly like me

[@spiritmatter1553]

I’m sure she has or soon will have a video that addresses your concerns.

[@namwob7]

Me too. I was 5"7" before back issues and age took me down to 5'3".

[@cindysye8047]

So helpful! I'm built just like Bronda except I have broad shoulders and larger upper arms. I've always thought that shoulder pads were not for me but I experimented with a folded up sock to not widen my shoulder but square it off with my upper arm and it made a huge difference. Thank you, it is so nice to have someone acknowledge that inspecting a short waist with big boobs and a tummy over long legs makes me look like a lumpy lollipop!

[@franklinstephen3268]

Hi how are you doing?

[@gorgo1945]

Really loved this video today - it was so obvious when showing "the right and the wrong" things to do for the body shape. Amazing tips and thank you so much for showing me (and Im sure many other folk) what to do as Im a similar shape to your model today. Greatly appreciated!! xx

[@caroleberreur9585]

Bronda is the same as me. Ex dance teacher, and carrying weight in the tummy/chest (probably because during menopause and not training as much, we eat inadequately). It’s very informative and true, that because we’re a larger size doesn’t mean that it suits always (I’m the same… smallish shoulders but with bigger bust, I need to size up, which doesn’t always hang well).

[@brondadossett1321]

Hi Carole I was interested to read that you are also an ex dance teacher. I completely agree with you when we stop dancing every day the weight starts piling on. You might be interested in a KZbin video I have made for the NAFAS virtual show 2022, which is coming out next week when I discuss this problem.

[@smallgreykitten]

I think this is true of male athletes like football players. When they retire they frequently put on weight because they don't change their diet (they needed a lot more calories as players) & they can't work it off in the same way anymore. That's a big lesson we all have to learn - not just the things we eat but the sheer amount of calories that we need for our new daily activities.

[@garden4561]

Sizing up to accomodate the chest never works well, as Mellissa mentioned near the beginning of the video. You end up with far too much volume on shoulders and back. On more than one occasion, Trinny and Suzanna (remember them?) would ram some poor woman into a fitted garment that then meant the garment was far too tight on the bust and I'd be expecting the button fastened under the boobs to pop off. I have given up buying fitted clothes and gone back to sewing my own with a full bust adjustment to the pattern.

[@earningyourearswithkristin878]

Oh goodness! I am so thankful I found your channel! I have been struggling really hard to dress myself since I gained more weight and went through a rough time the last two years ( who didn’t, right?) I have always been a bigger girl/women but I am currently my heaviest and totally lost my fashion sense and desire to dress my best. I have watched a handful of videos already for my body shape and I feel so encouraged and inspired! Thank you so so much ! ❤️

[@mmpersonalstyling]

You’re very welcome, I’m pleased to hear they’re helping you x

[@linkedinlove106]

My best advice to you (and my daughter, who is struggling similarly) is to "do you". Fashion isn't just the style of the day. It's really about finding what you feel best in and works for your lifestyle. If you're feeling unlike yourself right now, you'll feel better by wearing something you love! It may not be in the size you want to see in your closet, so just cut out the tag! If you love it and it lifts your spirits, it's right for you right now. Tomorrow is tomorrow, and you'll figure out how to get through recovering from the horrible last 2 years. In the meantime, hugs to you and blessings on your personal journey💝

[@maplelassuk]

Me too!! I struggle with M&S though, for jackets, but its really helpful.

[@barbiechaal6986]

You are not the only one! I am totally in the same situation as you! and feel there is hope now 🙏🏻

[@sueridder4691]

The rosy pink cardigan looks amazing with the simple outfit. It complements her coloring beautifully!! 🩷

[@mmpersonalstyling]

I totally agree!

[@Lornawhitney]

Bronda was a fabulous model. I particularly liked the blue jumpsuit and also the striped top/red cardigan outfit. Great job ladies, thank you.

[@jmarie862]

You are so kind and respectful to your models. I love that you style all shapes and sizes and teach us the little tricks of the trade. I've learned so much from you - thank you!!

[@sueridder4691]

Had to add that the patterned dress with the belt and green blazer does wonderful things for her figure!!! She looks tall and slender and her beautiful self shines through.

[@APTTMHYforever]

Thank you for the representation!! I’m a 34G with no waist (round pouch) and slim legs/arms. My personal go-to’s are midi knee length a-line slip dresses and mid rise straight leg pants/jeans. I’m 36 so some of this is a little matronly for my taste BUT I totally get the idea and can make adjustments to make it more youthful. Thanks again for such a detailed video🥰

[@thecommontraveler]

Thank you so much Brenda! My body is like yours in many ways so I appreciate seeing these outfits on you! ❤️❤️❤️

Thanks for the great tips. The floral dress is how I find so many dresses look on me. Thanks for some tips on how to make them work. Looking forward to our summer coming and giving it a try.

[@cherylsmith3002]

Wow! It's amazing how just a few changes made such a difference! Bronda looked especially great in the last jumpsuit, but really, every modification looked wonderful.

[@stampedgear6008]

Bronda was charming and looks lovely. Such great choices and beautifully styled ... thank you Melissa!

You are so welcome!

Thank you so much. Your model’s body shape is definitely me. The tips were awesome. I learned a lot today regarding balance throughout the outfit.

I am amazed at the transformation! Lovely! Great information and wonderful model! The colors look great! So refreshing!

[@moon83star30]

These videos have helped me so much in both work life and my regular day-to-day. I have gained far more confidence in what I wear and how I look, all thanks to your videos. Best of all these videos have helped me breath new life in my existing wardrobe. I also loved necklaces but never could figure out how to wear them with my outfits, until now. Thank you again Melissa, you truly are a treasure and I can't thank you enough for the knowledge you have shared with us and the amazing feeling that comes with it. 🥰

[@mmpersonalstyling]

That's lovely of you to say so, thank you so much for watching x

Love these videos of yours! I have recently discovered your channel and subscribed. I have learned what works on my body through trial and error. I am large busted with a thick middle so tend to wear jackets, cardigans,etc.to help camouflage my least favorite areas.Your videos are fun to watch and educational. TFS!

Bronda looks beautiful in everything! I love the color palette you came up with. Another great video.

[@SusanJantzi]

Such a helpful video! Bronda, thank you for sharing this experience. You look fantastic I every one of those outfits. I’m a different shape, but still learned a lot. Thank you Melissa for explaining and demonstrating things so well. And for keeping the Monty appearances in there!

[@rosey_ie]

I just look forward to watching your videos so much, Melissa 🤩 Another great one! Bronda is the closest model to my shape that you’ve styled so far, but I’m seeing styling tips in all of them that I can and have been using since finding your channel. Keep up the great, enjoyable videos, and hugs with Monty too 😆

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Thank you Rosey for your lovely comments. x

[@nicoleagostini9447]

I am absorbing all your tips and hopefully remember them when I dress up! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, you hugging Monty. I really like you embracing having him around. I have 3 at home and at the moment I am pet sitting a 4th. It gets tricky to do things around the house. 💞

Doesn't it - he's just as demanding as my children - like having a constant baby in the house!! Love him though!

Great selections for this beautiful lady. I'm blown away by your fashion sense, especially the outfit with the longer dress. You are so right, the length is so elegant and as soon as you pulled the hem shorter it immediately looked dowdy!

[@PrimetimeKCL]

You do a great job, Melissa!!

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Thank you!

[@ca6177]

Thank you so much! I have the same issues as your model, except I am also shorter! But, with the tips you gave, I feel I can start to dress better and cut down the size of my very large busts! Thank you again!

[@mmpersonalstyling]

You are very welcome x

[@TheJujuspots]

This was great. I have small shoulders and a big bust too. I wear shoulder pads a lot now and they do help.

[@Tere_tere]

Great job Melissa. Bronda is a lovely lady and I think you made her feel very comfortable in front of the camera as you do with all the women you film. All the outfits were great. She looked fantastic and also very practical choices as you created a sort of capsule. You really do much more than just styling, you boost women's confidence helping them look good and feel comfortable in their bodies and clothes. I haven't seen any other stylist on youtube work with these body shapes that are so common and real and you do it so naturally that one thinks: of course, this is how it must be done. The message you're giving us is so positive and necessary. Congrats! Keep on!

[@mmpersonalstyling]

what a lovely comment - thank you so much, i really appreciate it. At the end of the day us ladies need to support each other, accept our curves and individuality and boost each others confidence. I love that all my subscribers do that. Thank you for watching x

[@beverlyteh4676]

Bronda you look great! Trinny is developing a shoulder pad under layer I think. If you’re struggling with weight and feel cold often please consider getting thyroid testing. All the best from Australia!

[@169esmeralda]

This is very helpful. It’s pretty much my exact body type. When I was young it was lovely because I was an hourglass. Now with my belly, my large breasts make me an apple

[@chantellewinstanley8119]

[@barbarawild2478]

Brilliant! Bronda is a star! So generous letting us see the areas of concern- and how to dress them favourably! Foot problems: also very much appreciated! Never was troubled- thin and tall with short husband, so no heels. Now new (9 years😅) hubby very tall, could wear all the stiletti I could want, but now I'm 61, apple shaped and very careful after crippling plantar fascitis. So lovely to see those very stylish shoes without the "ouch factor"! Thank you both- and the priceless Monty- for a wonderful video!

I'm not the same shape, having very broad shoulders, but being top-heavy, this is very helpful for me!

[@ercokatty]

I always knew I had broad shoulders, but a comment on a previous video made me measure; my shoulders are a good 3” wider than my hips. Now I need to minimize my tummy AND my shoulders! 😯

[@wendyfarquharson6272]

Thank you, thank you, thank you 😘 loved this video. I'm a size 14 bottom and 16/18 top because of my bust. It's really difficult to try and balance my shape. This video was just perfect ❤️💋

Hi Janet, so sorry that we don't have your size. We are still a small business and it just isn't possible for us to widen our sizes at the moment - hopefully in the future as we grow we will be able to. We like to recommend our friends at Otto & Ivy - they specialise in beautiful shoes for women with shoe sizes US 10 plus :)

[@AB-zw7ub]

Melissa thank you for another wonderful video. I must say since I found you on KZbin I'm re-thinking what I purchase. Your advice is bang on but I must say I get overwhelmed with all the tips and tricks 😂Bronda that last blue pantsuit is absolutely gorgeous on you 😍 Melissa I'm a fan so keep them coming 👍

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Will do Louise, thank you for watching!

[@ozgirl45]

I just found your channel on KZbin and I love your videos! I particularly love this one because you are working with an actual person. Even if I don’t have exactly the same issues as Bronda (who looks really amazing) I can see tips and tricks that will work for me. I really appreciate that you want to help women who are no longer 20 years old and weigh 100 lbs! Anyone of a “certain age” usually has tummy issues yet we still want to look good. As a general observation I think that elbow (or just below) length sleeves or long sleeves pushed up are flattering to older women (who needs to show less-than-toned arms?). I also find that boat neck tees and sweaters are more flattering than round neck ones but after this video I think I’ll look again at v-necks. They certainly look good on Bronda. I’m looking forward to seeing more of your videos with real life models! All the best from Canada!

WoW this was a very helpful video, and I'll be sharing it with a couple of my friends who are also 'endowed'. Thanks so much to you Melissa, and to Rhonda for being a great model.

[@foiblesanonymous]

Great to see a larger bosom. It is a real struggle to find up and front facing bras with good support. I seem to practically live in the Fantasie Illusion but I am sure there are better to be had. I was out today hunting very lightweight sleeveless summer tops and most seemed to have deep armholes which clash with larger bosoms. Is there a hack for going sleeveless that does not involve wearing two layers in this heat that can hide an expanse of bra poking out your sides? ?

[@annareid4577]

Totally agree about the bras. I'm a 36G like Bronda and am always on the look out for bras which push everything forward and together, which makes my top half look about 2 dress sizes smaller !! Will have a try of the one you suggest 🙂 xx

[@sonjadowns6713]

I was shocked at the difference that putting the girls up and front made such a difference. Now to find a bra that does this magic trick as I usually get minimizing bras which I now see makes my breast go wider but do allow me to wear some button-up tops.

[@foiblesanonymous]

@@sonjadowns6713 I avoid minimisers for the boob spreadage reason. And you can button up big boobs with tailored shirts or v-neck shirts. Confidence soars when you can get the girls in the right place! I am sure someone makes shirts in curvy fittings for big boobs or they used to but I can't remember the name.

[@asdf7711]

I don't have that issue but she mentioned a balconette bra. A well fitting bra really is the foundation. Two tips someone gave me years ago: when putting on your bra, lean forward and scoop them forward and up into your bra to keep them out front.

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Hello Bella. There's only one solution i've found and that is to buy a sleeveless top that has the bust part already sewn in. It's still effectively a second layer but at least it's only over the bust area and not over the entire top. It's a real problem i'm afraid! Try Bravisimo tops, they usually consider this in their designs.

[@Lornawhitney]

Melissa I still find it confusing when trying to work out correct trouser lengths. What length should loose flowy trousers be when wearing with white trainers? Thank you x

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Loose wide leg trousers should be as long as possible without dragging on the floor. Wearing them long will add inches to your legs. x

Thank you so much for validating my instincts that the smallest part of my waist is NOT right under my 36G bust. I’ve always preferred a hip length top even though it was against all of the “rules.”

I can't thank you enough, you addressed all of my problems except I'm petit. I've been doing everything wrong; I hate shoulder pads and have always removed them. It's hard shopping on a budget but now know exactly what to look for at least.
