5 perfect dresses for Apple Shapes | plus size fashion | outfit inspiration

[@sharronwolfe7711]

Hi, Marleen! I just found your channel last week, and was so happy to discover it! I am definitely an Apple shape, very short (thanks to degenerative scoliosis!). I used to be almost 5’ 2”, but now 4’ 11” in my stocking feet. Add narrow shoulders and a big bust and I look like a little round ball! Really appreciate all your advice! Thank you from a Scottish/Irish “cousin” in the Dallas, Texas, USA, area!!! 😍

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

Ah I’m so glad I can help inspire a little Sharron. I’m only Irish in heart lol, I’m actually Danish but live in Ireland as my husband is Irish lol, but our kids are ofcourse half of each. I’ve been here 20 years now though lol. Great to “meet” you x

[@sharronwolfe7711]

@@ImjustmeMarleen how interesting! I’m more Scottish than Irish, then plain old UK and Welch, with a little Scandinavian thrown in! Funny thing is my hubby and I are from Oklahoma just north of Texas and he’s the same as I am! DNA is an interesting thing! Keep up the good work! 😍

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

Oh it really is isn’t it. And thank you x

Hi Marleen, a very informative video. All the dresses are lovely on you. However, the last green one was spectacular! I never wear dresses but you have inspired me to give them another try. Thanks. Best always ❤❤❤

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

Ohh yeah.. let me know if you try xx

[@sumanmarks-johnson2488]

So thankful to find you. I've turned into an apple in the last several years and don't know how to dress.

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

Delighted you have found me, welcome

Hi Marlene, thanks for another great video. I always look forward to them. All the dresses were lovely so I can't pick a favourite. 😊❤

❤ Hi Marlene I absolutely love your channel. I’m an apple shape woman myself, a size 20/22 and a belly I just cannot shift. I just love your fashion sense and you have helped me choose some lovely dresses for myself now that I know what to wear. Thank you for all your inspiration. You are a very beautiful lady yourself. Take care and more videos please 💕💗💕💗💕💗🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

Thank you x

[@watchersmith806]

I’m the same height as you are, 5’5”, not a plus size. However I do have a belly so your tips are helpful. Your confidence and style is something that I admire 💞

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

Thank you x

[@Pinkychi305]

I have found square necklines are the most flattering, the addition of some sharp lines up top tends to balance out my roundness below. You look great in everything!

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

I love a good square neckline myself lol thank you x

[@ninathomson4716]

Hi Marlene, wow, everything was gorgeous you, especially when you added jackets, shoes etc. I’m a tall apple but I’m very short waisted so just can’t wear a dress that’s waisted as they sit weird 😮, and then the empire bust line dresses sit strange too😮. It’s really difficult, especially as I love fashion and clothes😮. I wish I was average height with an hourglass figure…..even just for a day, to see how it feels lol 😅. Have a lovely weekend ❤ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 xx

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

It’s amazing how we are all so different isn’t it. And yes it would be fun to have a different figure even just for a day lol. You have a great weekend too hun xx

Thank you so much! My bride’s maids are all tiny except one and this will help me make for her feel just as beautiful as I see her.

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

Ah that’s great. So happy to help. And congratulations on the forthcoming wedding x

[@DaisyLarson4936]

I've popped a few of your accessories into my cart. Love the black with white on the back.

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

It’s fab isn’t it and best is it’s not too long for me and my big chest.. xx

So i bought a see through blouse with multicolored print that will go with the chocolate pieces too.

The SATIN DRESS 4:02 would have to be my favorite

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

Thank you

[@jojosharp5872]

I've just got to say I don't fit into any shape I had to create my own and decided I'm the classic alien shape, long arms, legs and neck with a small head😂

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

You know what, I totally respect that. Love it. X

[@Sunny-it6or]

Great dresses! Can you get a little mic so we can hear you better?

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

Maybe one day but the less technical the better to be honest.

[@ninathomson4716]

Your wee dog ❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊x

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

lol she the cutest isn’t she lol

[@DaisyLarson4936]

I feel very confused what my body shape is. I have wide shoulders, larger busy and a B belly. My hips don't start until around my belly button area. Is it possible to be a fruit salad? 😂😂😂😂😂

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

lol I like that and yes you totally can be hun. No 2 bodies are the same and the “apple & pear” should only be used as a guide. You might need to take elements from different shapes to find your perfect fit.. (I’m a rectangular apple) I love it.. fruit salad 😂❤️

[@TS-tv2ik]

You're wearing horizontal stripes which tend to make us look wider although I love. There are so much advice out there which mix us up. Thank you for your help though.

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

The only advice you need is mine 😁 lol if you want to wear horizontal stripes then you go right ahead 😁

[@clarecanavan313]

Hi Marleen thank you for another great video❤I’m going to a wedding in the south of France in August and am worried about what to wear. Will it be too hot for shapewear I’m thinking 😢would you have any advice . Lov your channel ❤❤❤

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

I’d say try and go for natural fabrics if possible. As for shapewear that is up to you. I wear it in all weather but it’s not for everyone. I’d also choose an outfit that is loose and flowy . I hope that helps xx

[@alitshecter5098]

Thank you for the inspiration! How do you keep that beautiful green dress from wrinkling when you sit please?

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

Smooth the back down and let the slit slip to each side at the front x

[@alitshecter5098]

Thank you (:

[@jozefbols4386]

Marleentje, you hit the nail on the head (again!!)!! I do love empire waist dresses but yeah, they make you look pregnant ;-( I have a neck, that is what is different between us, and that, that you are more then awesome!!! OOO yeah, and that I prefer long dresses and skirts!!!!! Although, I don't mind a sexy split ROFL!! I have a very sexy long dress with a long, wide slit and I wear matching shorts or leggings (or even a long matching pencil skirt) underneath! Hot as hell. ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! About that 'hot' long dress (hot tamalé-alert!!): Honey, I had a dress with sleeves like that and I took out the elastic!! That was so much more pleasant and beautiful too (they fluttered when there was a breeze HAHA). And I also removed some elastic from the waist (back) so that the dress no longer rode up, as you said, and I no longer had to pull it down over my stomach every time. Hun, what you always add to every piece of clothing you show is the prettiest smile there is, you make the sun shine inside the house!!! Thanks for being there for all apples, lots of love from your old pink apple, Pinkie

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

It’s my pleasure hun x
