How to Dress a Big Bust. Body Shape Masterclass 21. Hobbs.

[@AM-qu5qv]

Finding a V-neck in the stores is so hard they are practically non existent!

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Follow our links as we've found them for you but you are right, they are more difficult to find. We're creating our own range and there's lots in there!

[@NancyBrown1975]

That is so true. I dont think they make them unless you get a button down shirt and with that you can make a v neck but i dont want to wear a button up shirt. I dont like them. I like pullovers mostly.

[@rebekahpollock8627]

Tailors are often able to alter a blouse to be a v-neck. It's worth the expense if you love the rest of the cut / material!

[@marywalsh8438]

Absolutely agree, which is why I was over the moon to find a great V neck jumpsuit from Girl in Mind at Next UK. I have an event with a retro 70s theme. I didn’t want to go all out 70s but instead just give it a nod. I tried on soooo many, it’s amazing that a size 14 can be so different depending on the label, confusing. Either they swamped me or just didn’t fit over my boobs! Many try-ons later and a little black and lace beauty is in my wardrobe 😀 I will accessorise with 70s style jewellery. But it really is a struggle to get the right fit in a V neck…am on the hunt for jumpers now….😮

[@lindak8664]

I gave up and make my own now. Even if it is annoying!

[@alijoyce1081]

I’d love more styling videos covering big busts.. it’s such a hard thing to find solutions for.😢

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Noted!

[@RitaVernoy]

True😊

[@wcjf01]

Particularly extreme top-heaviness! I am a size 14-16 on top (34H) and a 10 on the bottom. Such a challenge! @@mmpersonalstyling

[@niceknow7493]

I agree- it’s hard bc it’s easy to date ur look when u have a large bust too

[@riseabove3133]

Same but most of these looks are layer upon layer of clothing which is not wearable in warm climates. I love the looks but in So. Calif, in the middle of menopause, I wouldn’t be able to leave the air conditioning building. I apologize so sincerely for being negative in this comment. I think MM’s work is genius, but this one video missed the mark for me. The 2 that possibly could be worn over 75F weather is the fitted,light colored top with horizontal stripes which I didn’t think achieved the goal at all. And to me, a jumpsuit, especially a print jumpsuit, is classic old lady attire. Miami Retirement Home attire. I’m deeply sorry for this comment. I will go now and write 5 positive comments on MM videos that rocked, as my penance. ❤

[@lesliefoldy2767]

Most important: Get the best, most supportive bra you can afford. Lift the girls up!!!

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Well said!

[@HerWanderlust]

Visually it might be socially preferred, but wearing a bra our entire lives is terrible for our breast health. There are better options that look nice, natural, hold you in if you need it etc. I am 36h and can do fine without a bra unless I’m exercising…most women really don’t need them but feel pressed to wear them

[@mariasme6218]

Thank you for addressing all body types on your videos. Styling for us busty girls is very challenging and we are often forgotten.

[@hazeltownsley1858]

Cat is such a star and i'd like to thank her for modelling for you. She looked amazing in the clothes, so tomorrow when i get dressed, i'm not gonna put myself down because it was like looking in the mirror in regards to shape and size. P.s my friends and colleagues are noticing a big difference in my clothing and style, which is making them elevate their own styling 😂. Of course i always tell them it's down to watching your channel. Well, after i've basked in the glow of their compliments 😅 xx

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Love that! You bask in the glory all you like, that makes me happier than accepting it for myself! Enjoy you new style xx 😘

[@crisscross104]

A quick thank you for all your videos. As I aged, changed shape and retired I felt I no longer knew how to dress and retreated to oversized hide it all clothes. Which as a petite 5’1” looked and felt completely swamped. Your down to earth style using real women that I can relate to has completely changed how I think. Eternally grateful to you and your models for this masterclass series.

[@mmpersonalstyling]

That’s very lovely of you to say and that sort of comments makes this all worth it so thank you too xx 😘

[@suze1958wilde]

It is quite amazing how different the same person looks with very simple changes such as neck line or the bottom of a jumper. Thanks.

Cat is just beautiful. She’s has a beautiful face, complexion, and just overall beautiful!!! She’s lovely!!

I agree x

So good that you say it is hard to find v-necked Cardigans. It is super hard!

[@mmpersonalstyling]

So true but watch this space… we might be designing a range and it’s definitely including lots of v necks!

[@Elle-ub4ik]

I would love to see more styling videos with more affordable options, such as H&M or other retailers that ship to the US. :)

[@mmpersonalstyling]

The next body shape masterclass is using H&M and mango items!

[@paulamcleod1227]

Loved this! I just found you,! And I have been totally enthralled with your styling ideas. I have an apple shape but also big boobs. Flat bottom, skinny legs. For the first time, I tucked in my shirt today in front before going for a dental appointment! I got compliments from the staff! Holy Moly! I'm 65 by the way, a retired teacher, and totally rethinking my wardrobe because of you! Thanks!!

[@mmpersonalstyling]

That’s great to hear, I bet you looked lovely x

[@barbaraweiss3119]

That was hysterical about the bust starting at the neck and ending near the ankles! Having a large bust myself & being of a “certain age,” I felt it was okay to laugh about it! 😂

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Oh good! Life is all a bit too serious sometimes isn’t it!?! And like I said, it happens to me too and I’ve got small boobs!!!

[@angeldewolfe5628]

Loved this episode. I am busty and fortune not to have too big a tummy ( I doesn't need some work since lockdowns). It's great to see I'm not too far off the mark with my own styling. And have picked up some helpful hint. Thank you 💕

[@onedaycloser2872]

I finally understand why I love T-shirts…but always felt masculine or just so large in them, it all makes sense now. Thank you.

[@vickielouisa72]

Melissa, I learn something every time I watch one of your videos. You’re an excellent teacher, and as a retired teacher, I know your use of repetition is essential. Even when the model’s body type doesn’t match mine, I get great styling tips that I use every single day. Because of your instruction, I also get compliments from strangers and from the young staffers who care for my mother (she’s in a nursing home). Cat is beautiful, and your style tips along with her natural beauty truly made her gorgeous. Bravo to you both!

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Thank you 🙏 that means a lot coming from another teacher, I really appreciate it. X

[@NancyBrown1975]

Thank you for all of your help. All of your try ons and fix ups to the styles are lovely. Such a fantastic trick to add a necklace to help make a v line neckline. Fantastic job!

[@claudial1240]

Yes 🎉 I had been waiting for this episode for larger bust. Thank you 👍 I find it really challenging and I don't love my large bust but you give some great tips and examples. I'd love a similar episode but with summer dresses, it's so hot here in summer in Australia 🥵 but overall I really appreciate your videos and the different models, thank you 🌏🙏 x

[@mmpersonalstyling]

You are so welcome! Have a look back at my summer videos that Cat featured in as we covered summer pieces then.

Love this episode! Cat is pretty much exactly my size and shape, although I’m only 5’5’’. She looks amazing and between the two of you I have some great ideas of what to look out for in clothes and in patterns (as I sew clothing for myself). Thank you!

I am so impressed by how well you explain the different body types of us every day women and how to camouflage the trouble spots. Thank you! I'm looking at clothes differently now.

[@mmpersonalstyling]

I'm so glad to hear that. I often feel like a broken record and doubt that i'm adding any value so thank you for taking the time to comment, it's really appreciated. x

[@donna-keithsmith3925]

Not at all, keep repeating it, that's how we learn. I found your channel a couple of months ago and I am hooked. I watch them all... even though my body type is more like Kat, I think we can glean something from all of the shows. You've made me care again. It's not just about being the nicest dressed in the room, it's also about how you carry yourself when you feel good and positive about yourself. The world is very much geared toward a younger and thinner demographic and truth be told we come in all shapes and sizes no matter our age. I find your style to be timeless and classy. Thank you for that.

[@debs5531]

I learn so much from your teaching videos. Thanks immensely

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Happy to hear that!

[@Moscririna]

This video is by far the best for big busts. Usually it's always wrap tops and dresses and I feel like they make me look even top heavier. I'm like toned muscular from the hips down, but the upper side is curvy busty - like two people mixed together 😂. In all "pretty" dresses I look like stifflers mom 😂. Since having kids I always put on leggins or trainers, all black and I lost all joy for dressing. With my G-Cup it's just to hard. So glad I can work from home and have just one day at the office. 😢 This video gives me a bit of hope. ❤

[@mmpersonalstyling]

That makes me happy to hear. Ps. I NEVER put my large chested ladies in wrap tops as I too think it makes them look bigger!

[@beverleyphillips2198]

Loved the jean skirt and the beige sweater on Cat!

I'm really loving your vlogs. Don't know if you have done one for women in their seventies who are five foot, pear shaped but of a smaller build? I'd love to see how you would use on-trend fashion for my age group. Many thanks ❤

Yes I have actually - I did my mum and she was exactly how you described. Here’s the link! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJWwh5Rvi92NhrMsi=oc9-cjxq-paxTCsJ

[@caroldarnznieks6600]

Like adding the chain necklace!

[@mmpersonalstyling]

[@seattlegirl2077]

For us in the US, I guess we'd call this a sweater dress? A jumper for us is something with straps that you wear a shirt or sweater underneath. (Commented mostly to boost your channel which is wonderful!)

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Thank you, I appreciate that. Yes, we call it a jumper dress here in England xx

[@LauraN13]

I would love a video about a large bust and broad shoulders. I am an inverted triangle with a large bust.

[@mmpersonalstyling]

We have several on here already. Most people who say they are broad shouldered actually aren't. The broadness tends to be above the bra line, not on the shoulder blade. I think in over 20 years of styling i've only ever met a handful of women who truly have larger shoulder bones so you might find that even on yourself it's the top of your back that is broad and not the top of the shoulder and this is the part we're using when balancing out the figure. x

[@LauraN13]

@@mmpersonalstyling my shoulders are definitely broader than my upper back and my hips. I am very much so an inverted triangle with My shoulders being the widest part of me tapering down to my hips. My son has the same shape which he loves as he works out 😄 I have had to cut out shoulder pads out of blazers that I buy. People have asked me if I swim 😔

[@gathercreatelivewithleslie8340]

Would love more videos with her a slightly dressier clothes. Could we get another option for jeans and a little more instruction on which type based on larger hips and also on bigger thighs, straight leg or slim fit, boot cut, etc. Great video

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Have you seen this weeks video?

[@SC-de5to]

Hello. Thanks Melissa for all your wonderful tips. I have watched you for years and I always learn something amazing from you regarding any body shape. It’s fascinating. I would like if I could see a side profile or the occasional back view to understand how that looks too as you rarely if never show from behind, just a quick twirl after each outfit would be so appreciated. ❤❤

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Good idea, i'll ask the volunteers next time x

Excellent video. I realise I do all those tips anyway but great to hear your advice too.

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Excellent!

[@catherinegilmore2709]

Shoot. I just bought a crewneck jumper in a cotton-ramie blend because it had this embroidered upper shoulder detail with a slight extension into the upper arms in hopes to distract from the apron belly. Now I need to watch the master class in hopes of finding a petite busty model with an apron belly.

[@mmpersonalstyling]

There’s definitely a lady like that amongst the masterclasses x

[@MrGailje]

How did you do the white band at the waist without adding bulk to the top area (the white band under the green top)? It looked great but I'd be worried about having a double layer on top...really interested to know how it was done - thanks! 🙂

[@mmpersonalstyling]

The white top is tight so rather than adding volume it actually smoothed down the silhouette underneath.

[@linzi2805]

This is so interesting. I am post partum, and my body shape has changed. Previously, I would have said I am pear-shaped, but now I am not sure. I bought into the bomber trend, and showing that image shows me that it's possibly not the style for me, but I love it. I will definitely bear this in mind for the future. I'm not a fan of v necks as I always feel they make my bust a funny shape and that everyone can see down my top when I am chasing after my baby son.

[@jnbond]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE these outfits! Great color combinations and the style and fit are wonderful!! Do you have links I can put on my Pinterest Board for reminders or for inspiration? Recently found your videos and am working through them! Thanks for helping us ladies!

I'm not going to lie, It can be difficult but we can put ANY figure back into shape by using our trade marked 'Hourglass Balancing Method®'. We teach this on our courses or we can do a 1:1 session for you. All of the details are on www.mmpersonalstyling.co.uk

I love your videos! I wait on tenterhooks waiting for the next one. Although, is the bomber jacket itself (shown on the beautiful Cat) a bad idea for a larger lady with a big bust & only 5' 2"?

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Yes, it will make you look larger and rounder I’m afraid!

[@lolcass1773]

Am already shopping for the tops! 😊 thank you so much for doing this video. I’m a 36jj and find that my very rounded chest ‘breaches’ quite a bit into the arm area when standing with my arms by my side. Not sure if there are big enough shoulder pads to bring them back in line!! Any tips please? 🙏

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Start with your bra; your bust should be facing forward and never under your arms. Often minimising bras spread the bust under the arms so avoid those at all costs. Bravissimo do great bra fittings and they do them all over the world online. Hope that helps x

I wear a us 14 on top and a us size 10 to 12. I am 5'6 " but have long legs with a short waist. I love watching but have no idea what I shall do. I love dresses. I am working on my style and have been learning so much from you. I work in nuclear, and I am getting older. I want to look appropriate but stylish and classic at the same time. Jeans seem to be all that is worn . I will say I have a bit of a tummy, and it is so warm here in Texas that shape wear is miserable. I do like jeans as well but I need to find the perfect top and jacket. The heat stays some days of Christmas 70 to 80. PLEASE help me, Melissa Darling?

Love this! Thank God I found you. My shape is similar to Catherine’s with the large bust and larger belly area except I have very knock knees and my bottom area looks smaller than upper body any suggestions on how to make hips appear wider and more balanced?

[@mmpersonalstyling]

There’s lots of things you can do - wider leg trousers (but still make sure you’re showing the waistband or you’ll look wide across the entire frame), a line or pleated skirts. Half tuck tops in and leave the edges out to create more volume across the hips, wear a layer like a blazer or longer line cardigan - there’s 23 body shape masterclasses on here so the answer will be shown over and over again in these videos

Here's my request for you to style a petite, very slender, long legged woman. Very slender all over with very, very slim legs. This is my struggle. Because I'm petite and slender it is easy for me to drown in clothes. I only have a slightly short torso but my legs have the appearance of being crazy long because they're so narrow. I'm extremely self conscious of my legs and I see "most" tips in videos to elongate legs. Of course I do the opposite, but still I'd love to see someone like me styled. If I was in the UK I would volunteer!!

I can only dress the people who volunteer but if someone like that volunteers then of course I will dress them!

@@mmpersonalstyling I know, I guess I should have worded it to say I'm requesting someone like me to volunteer since I can't.

The problem with v neck tops is that I have a large bust but one side is quite a bit larger than the other. This means that the v shifts to one side. Any solutions to this?

[@mmpersonalstyling]

You can pad the one side of the bra out further than the other to equal them out - we do this all the time for ladies and we often use mastectomy bras for this x

Melissa what is the start size for a large bust please

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Anything over a DD bust usually…

[@phDST1913]

I just found your channel and realized I've been doing a lot wrong. How do you handle a big bust and an apple stomach area together?

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Firstly hello and welcome! There’s lots of videos showing you how to do this one here. Type in body shape masterclasses and there’s 26/27 to choose from, many of which deal with larger boobs and belly together. X

Love the coat where is it from

I actually really like the X 28:52 look better than the fitted V-neck tee. It’s sportier and less fussy. Also many of us with large busts do not want to accentuate those curves or call attention to it. The fitted V-neck is more of a “look at these” vibe. Personally, I don’t think cleavage is attractive on most 50+ bodies. If we are side sleepers or spent much time in the sun, the chest can really show wrinkles and sun spots. It’s not a sexy look, and most older busty women prefer more modesty. I’ll wear a modest V-neck but it’s a fine line between flattering and cringey. 🤷‍♀️

What size of coat did you buy to get around a large bust AND have the shoulders fit. I’m not as large as her and can’t get anything to close in the front if it fits in the shoulder. Sometimes we actually need to close your coat. So it might look good as long as you don’t really need a coat.

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Winter coats would only ever be brought for our clients if they do up. The only exception is a blazer (which rarely needs to be styled done up). If you choose the right cost in the right fabric to begin with then making it fit properly isn’t a problem. This is the type of thing we can help you with if that’s of any interest?

These tips are helpful and made me look a lot better, but I think my bust is just too massive for me to ever look pretty

[@mmpersonalstyling]

That is not the case at all. Don’t let your bust define you, it’s your personality that makes you pretty, your kindness and your spirit. Some of the ‘ugliest’ people I know have the greatest bodies but if you haven’t go the personality nobody will remember you. 😘

[@donnaallgaier-lamberti3933]

I have a large bust...I would NOT wear a white shirt like that. I feel that enhances my busy instead of diminish it. I would have chosen a navy top for example.

[@mmpersonalstyling]

And that’s why it’s called ‘personal style’ and that’s fine. X

[@karendobbyn1550]

Hi. The boots Melissa wore with the double Denim- does anyone know where they are from or know where I could find similar please.

[@mmpersonalstyling]

I’ve linked similar for you as mine were super old.

[@karendobbyn1550]

@@mmpersonalstyling thanks. Where are the linked please.

[@JaneWoodBranam]

I would not wear a horizontal stripe on top. Doesn’t that make your bust wider?

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Hopefully I showed you that it doesn't and I explained the reasons why. x

[@adz5bneweng589]

Khaki (army green), French navy, winter white and camel are the primary neutrals in my wardrobe (with pops of tomato red). I have warm undertones in my skin and am some form of Spring. What are some colors will marry best with these neutrals for me?

We're doing an instagram live next Thursday where Ros our colour specialist will be available to answer your colour questions x

[@JoannaSoteriades]

Get the point about the v neck but we can't spend the winter feeling that bit colder just because we have bigger breasts.

[@mmpersonalstyling]

and you don't have to. As i explained in the video, and for exactly that reason, you can wear higher necklines when you then create an additional layer line over the higher neck....

[@60Airflyte]

I have the body you described; large breasts, small bottom and thin thighs and legs. I don’t have a big belly but it’s thick. I have such a difficult time finding something I feel comfortable in. I try to wear dark solid tops and pants with a print. I’ll look again to see if you’ve dressed someone with my shape. I did once but didn’t see it.

[@mmpersonalstyling]

I have dressed someone like that, here’s the link kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5LOkJmvjbqjmposi=DMPaUJoc_Irerdji
