Curvy Fashion Style Mistakes Pt2 | Fixing

[@karenferguson7662]

Thank you so much for showing us how some simple, but very effective tweaks can really change how you can look. And thank you to your two very lovely models...♥

[@cb9825]

The last "bad" example seems to be a matching set. The same print with reversed colours. This was supposed to be a fail safe option, created by professional designers so we don't have to think too much about styling. But it's not fail safe! So nice to see how the change of the top part made the outfit better.❤

[@giedre]

@@cb9825 haha, lol, you are totally right! I have picked this having the same idea even though I thoutght it is somewhat a bit long.. maybe it could work for someone who has very bohemian style, etc.but yes, it made the proportions really off wven though Egle is not a petit. So it just reminds us that it is important ro try the things out ourselves and as I show in my videos sometimes a ‘wrong’ outfit might be elevated with simple tweaks 🙌💃🤍

[@Dwynfal]

I've often felt that matched sets really don't work well in casual clothes. Just the fact that they're a set gives them some formality and that just clashes with the loose, casual nature of this look. A matched skirt and blazer in a business suit, sure, but flowy and loose pants and top, not so much. In this case perhaps it would look OK if the top was tucked in but I definitely prefer the black vest instead!

[@carlabravi8623]

My compliments for your videos! As far as I know you are the only one who dress different shape women in reality! And yes your mother looks also younger with that smile of satisfaction. I admire your professional kindness too🎉

[@giedre]

Thank you! I appreciate dressing everyday women ☺️🤍

[@TheCelestialhealer]

Fascinating as usual. The tuck in I still cant do.The straight leg is a million times better than leggings ( I need some for doing sports).

[@patjordan9638]

I’m 5’3”, stout and top heavy. Your suggestions are great!

[@giedre]

Let me know if you enjoyed this episode and what do you think on this controversial question - tuck in or not to tuck in? I believe dressing to celebrate our bodies is much more joyful way to dress our bodies 🫶💃. Watch pt1 here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGnJnHaXoK2hg7s

[@virginiamackey6446]

Definitely tuck. That simple fix can completely change the look!

[@carolwright2703]

Giedre, I find your tips helpful even though I'm 5'7" and size 6. My torso is long with shorter legs, and the tucking and wearing shorter tops makes me look better and more balanced. You're right about the little things making a big difference!😊

[@giedre]

Thanks for sharing! And I’m very glad to hear this🫶💃 I am already planning new video shootings with smaller sized ladies as well!☺️🤍

[@babalu-oc6iu]

I approve that you added some brighter colours to the selection. Yes, Capri pants are ridiculous. Tho some culottes can be flattering. I do not wear shortened jeans or heels. Because I have to bandage one of legs because of a debilitating medical condition. Sometimes I wear my favourite Mary Jane shoes, then I do not care if the bandage shows. While I cannot wear jackets, I use long scarves. Draped around the neck to create two vertical lines on the front, or on top of the shoulder creating one line on the front and one line on the back. I did dare to add a dreaded belt on the scarves and it worked. I also tied the scarf above my waist like a men's tie and let it hang out , like a fake roushing. I saw that on a wardrobe from a movie set in 1918 and liked it.

[@giedre]

Wow! That’s amazing and thank you for sharing! I totally agree with your insights and I’m going to google the last idea 😎☺️

[@myrna1356]

I'm trying to tuck the blouses 😅 Thanks Giedre 😊

[@desiliebenberg5925]

This episode was fantastic for the 'extra weight'.... thanks for your tips.... I love when your mum is on your videos. A tip both models need to smile as that does change how they feel about the new look - thanks Giedre for another fantastic upload.

[@giedre]

@@desiliebenberg5925 thank you! 🙌🎈 I put the mirror on the side so they are concentrated looking at theirselves haha! 💃😅

[@lynstewart4484]

As an apple shaped lady, I tend to agree that tucking doesn't always look better. The half tuck is a fashion trend that can be a bit overdone. I find it looks better with some fabrics than others

[@giedre]

Totally 🙌 and it’s always about that balance and comfort that might be different for everyone. My mom used to wear longer tops but when she saw side by side comparisons she noticed herself- it makes her look older 🥸

[@maryjacobs7046]

Your mom is lovely! Thank you for these positive videos!

[@chrisamitropoulou3172]

Very usefull,thank you Giedre!Being petite and curvy I find stylig really tricky!I΄m waiting for a video with your suggestions especially for us!!!

[@giedre]

@@chrisamitropoulou3172 thank you! 🎈🫶 happy to hear that, truly these principles would work for petite as well😊

[@EvelynSaungikar]

The cap is looked better than the beige midi skirt to me.

[@gailwilliams5278]

Here is proof positive that apples look better with tucked tops and belted styles! You jmay need to make slight adjustments to get them ‘just right’, and this video shows you how.

[@marciastogsdill9848]

I liked the criss cross sweater idea.

[@vylia]

Wonderful examples. The dress that fixed mistake #4 (horizontal prints) is gorgeous. Other examples are, as usual, right on point. Thanks! :)

[@giedre]

Thank you, Mary! Always a pleasure to have you here ☺️🤍

Ein schönes Video 😊. 🙏❤️ Ich staune, dunkle Farben sehen nicht immer besser aus! Und der helle, fast mono, Farbstil macht sympathisch. Ich freue mich auf das nächste Video 🥰

[@pattythrower5700]

a longer length to knee almost sleeveless vest/waistcoat looks great over pants as a third layer and very flattering

[@gervaisechristiansen2991]

Thanks so much for your great video! I would love to see how to dress an 80 year old, 5’10, plus size apple shape. I wonder if I am the only one in this category as I never see any geared to someone like me 😢. PS my huge flabby arms mean cute sleeveless tops are a no no☹️

[@amaefaciochevuoi2024]

Thanks

[@giedre]

Always🤍

[@carmenaguilar8958]

I am not sure whether I am a pear or an apple. How can I find out? Thanks for all the advice

[@thekingsdaughter4233]

If you are pear shaped, your shoulders would be noticeably narrower than your hips/your hips are wider than your shoulders. 🍐 "Apples" have shoulders and hips about the same width, with a fuller midsection. 🍏 The names pretty much describe the silhouette. 😊 HTH!

[@agam406]

I like your jacket. Very elegant.

[@PeacefulGardenLife]

I’m a aus size 12/14 but only because I had so many bikini line surgeries when I was much younger and back then doctors didn’t know how to rejoin stomach muscles. Despite any exercise, diet or whatever, I still have an apron which upsets me immensely and therefore I will never wear any clothes that I need to tuck in or in anyway show my lower stomach. Shapewear doesn’t do anything for lower tummy issues. I don’t wear swimsuits and will never wear jeans with a crop top. Our body shape impacts on us in different ways. Despite having a good figure, my stomach will always have me thinking I cannot wear certain clothes and also viewing myself as fat. 😕

[@user-zv8lt9pt6i]

Just curious why do you use bright lighting for the second look but not the first?

[@digitalpunkdiva2894]

I always wore leggings under dresses and longer tunic dresses. Never understood leggings alone. They were intended for cold weather and sports actvities. At least that's how I thought they were intended.

[@Erlrantandrage]

Omg where has this channel been. I'm a very large apple shaped person and I am doing so many wrong things. My shirts are too long, I'm color blocking, and I don't layer. I'm not too fussy about the way I dress because I'm a special education teacher and looking nice really isn't feasible on a day to day basis but it would be nice to FEEL better about the outfits I wear. I hate tucking (challenging when I move a lot and the shirt won't stay tucked) but I can see so cutting my shirts down seems like a good compromise. Now I need to work on some layers.

[@clbloyd]

Can you use some hourglass models?

[@anitaleslie4061]

I'm sad that Capri pants are 'mistakes', but if I'm out and walking long distances I don't like wearing skirts. My thighs chafe and I feel my range of movement is impaired. I would have liked to see an alternative style of pants used in this example, one that is practical but stylish for a person who climbs on and off buses and walks kilometres rather than driving around town.

[@BeeLane-qr9fn]

Probably guilty of everything 😂!

[@giedre]

😂🤣 never too late to change the things up!🫶💃

[@jenelleprins5306]

I just don’t like the short pants look, i.e., showing the ankles. I always feel like I’ve outgrown my clothes and it just looks unkempt to me.

[@giedre]

@@jenelleprins5306 knowing what you like and what makes you feel good is an important part of dressing yourself!🤍

[@jdmom29]

👍👍👍❤

[@سارة-و8ق]

I don't want to look thinner 😂

[@carmenaguilar8958]

What to do when you have thick ankles :(

[@thekingsdaughter4233]

🖐️😞 I have sturdy ankles to begin with, and now one is even bigger (never fully recovered from a twisted ankle...). No ankle straps! Shoes with low vamp, preferably pointed toe. I prefer pants and skirts that are either about knee length (to show more of the leg and elongate), or maxi and cover it all. No cropped pants!! 😩 The season for boots is coming up. 😁👍Slim fitting boots with pointed toe box are miracle workers. 😘 Actually, I find that wide cropped pants are doable with smart boots underneath... 😁😄

[@carmenaguilar8958]

I cannot.even wear boots, since my calves and ankle size don't fit in normal boots.

[@thekingsdaughter4233]

​@@carmenaguilar8958 die to health issues, I have had times like that, too. I have seen that there are extra wide boots (the shaft); and they even make panels that one can zip in to give extra room. *However, I have not checked lately, so I couldn't say how budget friendly those are. 🤷😞

[@thinkbig5438]

I didn’t like the skirts instead of the pants. Chaffing is a b####. And especially in summer I don’t not want to wear pants under my skirts.

[@thekingsdaughter4233]

I don't like the skin-on-skin sensation, either. I have several options: white, lightweight cotton shorts - I pretend they are a split petticoat. 😄 Pantaloons. Something that looks like biker shorts (found that in the underwear section at Walmart; it has a bit of tummy control built in, too). All cool enough for me. But I live in a Northern place.🤷

[@marlenesunley381]

Midi skirts, crop pants, even ankle length pants, and wide leg pants are no one’s friend.

[@mbh3004]

capris are not flattering on models either!!!!
