How To Dress Apple Body Shape | 5 Principles | Giedre

[@giedre]

Hope you are all doing well! Took a short break just to adjust to a new reality ❤ However, as I have pre filmed few videos, keep an eye on my channel as the next episode will show you how to incorporate those principles in a regular every day looks ❤

[@furrymonsters4337]

I have always thought that I couldn’t wear nice clothes because of my prominent mid section. I wear leggings and oversized hoodies to hide. Sometimes jeans and a cardigan but always with a loose top underneath and jeans are so so hard to get for my shape. I always have a ridiculously large muffin top. I don’t know how I ended up here but I could cry. I learned so much from this video, thank you.

[@giedre]

Thank you! It means A LOT to me! I am doing this because of your words ❤

[@runningsrage5895]

Having a Muffin top & love handles has been big insecurity of mine. Also the big stomach in general. Eating right has helped lose weight. My body is sorta skinny compared to my huge belly. Now I gotta workout and stop wish it could magically be cured lol. I'm glad videos like this exist so I know I'm not alone with my apple shape.

[@24Jeeya]

Best video on how to dress for mid section heavy women. Thank you!!

[@giedre]

So happy to hear ❤️

[@mariehebert9597]

Best vidéo on the topic I have seen in a long time! Very good exemples real apple shape ladys....bravo!!!!

[@giedre]

So glad you enjoyed it! Its a bit different perspective but I find it works ✔️❤️

[@ericacvl9155]

This is my daughter's body shape. She has Down syndrome, she just turned 14th and it's been a challenge for me to dress her in nice and cute outfits, because most of the times she ends up with leggings and huge t-shirts because it's easier. We live in Brazil where's mostly warm, so a third piece isn't always an option. She has no language, but I can see she's uncomfortable wearing dresses. Still I want her to wear cute outfits and not just comfy, but no shape stuff. I'm loving this format. Show us your cute baby more often. Thanks from Brazil

[@giedre]

Hi, Erica! Since scarves might look a bit off on 14 year old girl, try playing around with prints! Also choose trendy accessories to add fun, for instance, place a metallic bum bag (use half tuck or place it sideways), scrunchies, fun vivid color vans, etc. Why not to try replacing leggings with straight fit cropped jeans? I really hope you can play around and have a great time together while finding out some new styles to make her happy! ❤ my best wishes to you both! ❤

[@ericacvl9155]

@@giedre Oh, I'll definitely try and use your tips! Indeed, I was wondering why I never bought her anything metallic ?! Never occured me before to buy fit cropped jeans either. Thanks for the ideas. Wishing you all the best😁😁💋

[@Nat-sn8wc]

You explained everything so kindly and considerately. I feel more encouraged to look into fashion with a new perspective😊

[@emiliaescobar7652]

Great video, love all the looks she displayed, I'm not as heavy as the models, but I do have an apple shape, for me, I find it's harder to have an apple shape & skinny legs, which they always say to show your legs, but the outfits the models have on, are stunning!

[@vianeynava7914]

Best video and advice I’ve seen on this topic. Have been gaining weight steadily since turning 40 (about to turn 46) and it has been a challenge learning how to dress my new body. Thanks!

[@giedre]

Thank you! And yes, it is a truly challenging journey! But let's make it fun, full of experiments and joy 💕

[@ibtissemhammar5993]

You made it! I love your advice.thank you 👍

[@bernaortega596]

We have the same problem. I'm turning 45 soon and I'm apple shape too. I'm childless and still challenging to keep the wait off. So I'm trying Vietnamese Zumba dance and it's works. Unfortunately still challenging to get rib off the mid section at all. Unless I'm gonna do keto. Diet no carbs and sweet at all. It works but challenging.this video so helpful.

[@moonfire41]

Same. I hate my midlife weight gain. I was a short skinny hourglass till my late 30s. Now Im an apple with skinny legs.

[@-in_the_night-]

Same. :\ Went from a size 4 to a size 10 in a matter of a few months! This is a whole new world, and I don’t like it at all.

[@dianecrews6130]

I am a true apple shape and I cannot wear belts anymore nor can I cut myself in half even with a cardigan or third piece over because my stomach sticks out farther than that does from the side and it looks terrible.

[@nermabajramovic8522]

Gosh, finally someone explained! Thanks! Greetings!

[@shirleygibbs7440]

Hi, Geidra! You have the absolute BEST tips! I never realized the significant difference a few cm on jacket length could make! I mean "at the hip," "just above the hip," can be such a subjective and misleading description in a catalog. I liked your description of "at the top edge of your underwear" (on the side)! That's much clearer! I also said I would NEVER wear my thick yoga pants & a long tee out of the house, but today staying at a small hotel (with no meal service) near the hospital where my husband just had heart surgery, I found myself out picking up some take-out food & wearing these very yoga pants & big tee! Ewwww! I'm really glad I'm 100 miles from home! Nobody knows me here! These were intended to be "just my in the room" loungewear during this time of isolation! Here in NE Texas there are probably only abt a dozen people in this hotel! But I don't want even them to see me! Thanks for your encourageing tips today! Tomorrow will be better, God willing! Well done, Geidre!👍 You and your family stay safe!! 🙏❤❤💞💞 Shirley

[@giedre]

Thank you, Shirley! During these times we really should put our and everyones health first of course. I hope your husband is doing well after the surgery and you will be soon going back home together! ❤️ My best wishes!

[@terrydianeburton3778]

I really appreciated how well you explained those points. Now I have to try to apply all that information.

[@Courtney-of1po]

I have a pronounced apple body shape, which means I look about 7 months pregnant at all times. Tops that gather under my bust look horrible, and I am always asked when I'm due... Also speaking frankly, wearing longer tops serve the purpose of covering up my apron belly and camel toe (not sure what it's called in other languages). So I will risk looking shorter/frumpier to hide those areas. I agree with all other tips listed.

Your opening helped me more than you know! I really thought I was apple until you said that. So I ran to Google to look up the shapes and figure it out. I am an hourglass. For some reason, I had the Hollywood version of the hourglass in my head.

[@giedre]

Amazing, right? What unreachable standards we sometimes have in our heads due to social media, magazines and all the pressure!! So glad to have you noticed yourself in a different light. We can't change (dramatically) the way we are, but we can always shift our approach towards the one that benefits us and helps to unleash more acceptance and love first of all to our selves and our bodies ❤️

[@nervenkeks1704]

Thanks for the video, i just have a problem with the second part. Because when i redifine my waistline a little bit higher it really makes me look shorter... because i'm already very short. What could i do then?

[@giedre]

Hi! Try out using belt in the same color as your top and show only half of it (you can hide the other half under your top) and try belting in different places just to see if it works for you. Take photos of each look so you can compare. If you don't like - you don't. Do not worry there are plenty of other ways to streamline your silhouette ❤

[@booklassygarrahan3929]

This was excellent. And, charmingly done. Are there different principles for for those of us who are apple shaped and ridiculously short waisted? Than you for this.

[@giedre]

Every body is different and unique and the total visual harmony is the most important, however usually the general principles apply, just make sure to make them work for yourself. For instance, makes sure you lift the breasts (this helps to distinguish the waist) and of course pay attention on the whole look by taking photos. Many different women send their pictures to me after applying those principles and it is amazing to see the difference. Hope it helps and you will find your way! Lots of love,

[@firsttimecatparent]

Hi, what type of bags are good for this body shape?

[@cltinturkey]

Why pick shoes with ankle straps? They cut your leg off and shorten the perspective. I think it's better to avoid them unless you have stick-thin legs. Even great and shapely legs on someone with an apple shape look dumpy and cut off with ankle straps in my experience. Hope you're well!

Hello, what if you are a short waisted apple? I’m worried that I’ll look even more so if I belt above my natural waist!

[@giedre]

Hi! Great question and yes there is a risk of looking a bit disproportional I believe. In case you want to try it out - use same color belt as your top or/and show only half of it (you can hide the other half under your top) and try belting in different places just to see if it works for your body shape (take photos of each look so you can compare). It is all about small details and finding out what works the best for you! :) Enjoy the process ❤

[@lPoupettel]

Is it possible to have a combination of a apple and a vertical triangle body shape? I have no taille and a massive bust. I am overwhelmed what suits to my shape. I am afraid to spotting the focus on my tummy with a belt, in my point of view it would look awkward with big breast and a big tummy. A apologize for my English. I'm not a native speaker.

[@giedre]

Do you mean apple+inverted triangle? Yes, that is possible, the main goal is always to divide the sections you want to appear leaner or diminishing their appearance. For instance, you can try half tuck, tunic/dress with diferent colors (color blocking), you can use a belt but show just a 1/2 or 3/4 of it not to showcase the whole midsection or to shorten your waist (which is not a flattering option for big bust). Experiment with your selections of style and remember it is usually about those small details that can really creative a difference. Please have a look into my older videos with other women, styles might be a bit outdated, but the general principles still apply. Hope it helps! ❤
