[@malenadoty5643]

I fail to understand why so many people recommend wide leg pants for fat people. (I'm fat - let's just call it like it is.) If you carry a lot of weight in your thighs - your thighs rub together. And if you are wearing pants with positive ease, your thighs will bunch up the fabric as you walk. It is a horrible look, and it feels horrible.

[@tracebooks]

I have this same dilemma. I have thick thighs but relatively slender ankles and lower legs, so that’s what I want people to see.

[@WandaPanda-it4ix]

I am overweight and when I wear leggings people say I look slim. Did never wear wide leg pants!

[@WandaPanda-it4ix]

​@@tracebooksand you are right!

[@yardleyj9391]

I agree but leggings are not flattering either. In fact, leggings are a non non even for slender women.

[@WandaPanda-it4ix]

@@yardleyj9391 a non non?😂

[@brickcitybrownchick]

Designers like to frustrate plus-size women: they figure because we are larger, we don't deserve clothes that look good on us and that we will SETTLE for ANYTHING that fits. WRONG!! You have to try EVERYTHING on and make sure it works for you. Some of these tips work for me, but some of them don't (like the maxi dress) because I am only 5'2. When you are short and plus size, you have to put more thought and work into what looks good on you. Keep on triumphing plus size ladies!

[@MarieAnneLecoeur]

I am doing more advice for my beautiful Petite Plus Size ladies 😃 keep sharing your common sense wisdom ma chère 😘

[@phantomkate6]

These issues are becoming more pervasive in all of fast fashion! It's like a race to the bottom.

[@tracebooks]

I’m also 5’2”, with abdominal dystasis recti, and I’m turning 60. My skin looks relatively young. But being short and having this midsection that really could use surgery to correct means very little looks good on me.

[@WandaPanda-it4ix]

I am 170 cm and 84 kg. I wear what I want and who cares about designers? They are frustrated and hate women 😂

[@susanclotfelter7247]

When I am thrifting, I always look for things that are lined in cotton rather than polyester. Hard to find, but it makes a difference!

[@EvelynSaungikar]

@@susanclotfelter7247I sometimes cut out linings. If a lining is needed, I find a cotton nightgown.

[@tinalewis6782]

It’s all athletes wear so I assure you polyester is perfect if you sweat! If you run, you know.

[@jeaninevanzantvoort4042]

The reason why designers want polyester is because it's cheap. I wonder if people know it's just plastic that they're wearing. I hate polyester for several reasons. It's plastic, smells, not durable and is mostly way too hot for me. I love cotton and linnen. For the colder months i use wool with cotton blends... Thank you for this video!! Finally a woman who understands that polyester is crap.

[@MarieAnneLecoeur]

It is the worst kind of fabric Jeanine - it will be with us almost forever 🙁

[@carolm4545]

Did you notice how difficult it is to find cotton or cotton blends in stores nowadays? It’s so frustrating! Today’s marketers want to sell you inferior rayon or rayon-based inexpensive fabrics which are ecologically damaging because they are semi-synthetic fabrics made from treating cellulose with hazardous chemicals. Disturbingly, all of this is done in the name of ecological soundness to manipulate the consumer. Cotton has superior longevity and drape and breathability.

[@lynnehorizon5532]

Have always despised it.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

As a woman with a larger bust, I’ve learned to avoid any gathers above or below the bust. They give that bursting-out, “buxom milkmaid” look, it isn’t very elegant and draws too much attention to the bust.

You are very welcome 😃

[@debrahill2272]

Poly and Ester are heat producers..🔥 Master class was in session......👍👍

[@kelsie_adams]

It's not that they make polyester clothes just for plus sizes they use polyester for all sizes because it's cheap. I hate poly. Natural fibers are so much more breathable and comfortable.

[@anniehelman3516]

I love maxi dresses, but was always frustrated wearing them, because they made me look like I'm walking on my knees! But thanks to you I realised my mistake: they were too long and hid my ankles. That dress you showed with the ankles showing makes all the difference. I'll definitely try them again. Merci, Marie-Anne!

[@MarieAnneLecoeur]

You are very welcome Annie 😘

[@teresacarle294]

🤔Another thing that is elongating & slimming (beside that continuous column of vertical color) is a maxi skirt w/some kind of a split. It can be a rear, front, or side split. It doesn't have to be a ridiculously high one to work, but feel free to show off your legs if that appeals to you. The split attracts the focus👁👁, & it automatically makes the viewer imagine how the leg continues up ⬆️ UNDER the skirt. That trick is surprisingly leg lengthening. Lastly, it's a BONUS if you're wearing nude shoes (even flats). A skin colored shoe stops you from being visually chopped off the feet. It cleverly removes any horizontal line created by your shoes. Your feet practically magically disappear. That simple trick visually extends ↕️ the length of your leg from hemline to infinity 〰️just going below⬇️ in the opposite direction. 😉Look at the model here in the pretty pink dress in Marie-Anne's thumbnail to see this principle in action. The nude shoes beautifully elongate her legs. 💚Bridget from Cali☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)

[@cynthiaapodaca2726]

We pear-licious women thank you! Hooray for creating another video that explains the reason why an outfit is a “oui” ou “non” for plus size women! May I share that adding shoulder pads is a game changer for those with small or rounded shoulders? Hugs to you Marie-Anne! 😘

[@MarieAnneLecoeur]

I like your thinking Cynthia 😃 please share this video if you get the chance - I would appreciate your help 😘

[@malenadoty5643]

Avoiding raglan sleeves is also helpful if you have narrow shoulders. Always better to have a seam at the shoulders.

[@Nicky-Music]

And that's the difference, isn't it? French casual is chic, while elsewhere e.g. in the UK, casual is anything but chic. I'm convinced that style must be a part of the French national character!

[@annemadison7950]

I'm so glad I have found cotton and linen or a blend of the two for most of the "new sized" clothes I picked out. I can't think of anything polyester that I included. I got on this bandwagon years ago when it started getting so hot here. I found some wonderful cotton/linen "button up" shirts that will be nice by themselves, but I also got some cotton tanks/camisoles in a couple of different colors and will be able to wear the shirts loosely to top them off.

[@MarieAnneLecoeur]

👏

[@carolblair2845]

I’m kind of the opposite. I like polyester blends because I hate wrinkles. Linen is a lovely fabric, but all the wrinkles makes you look like you slept in your clothes ! I wear a lot of knits because they stay neater looking while being worn.

[@shirleydale2699]

Really good advice I must say Marie-Anne, really hope the plus size ladies look and listen because the alternative trousers, jackets, skirts ect were oh so much more flattering, and in all honesty they looked nice and chic casual to wear. Thank you for a really good vid and i love the French Language I put it adds to it.

Quince. 😊 I forgot to say….now I learned to wear cotton/poplin, linen, silk, double gauze.

True. Linen is very comfortable to wear. Unfortunately it creases very badly. I think it looks very messy. Is that still nice?

[@rebeccaw9656]

The more you wash, iron and wear your linen pieces, the more the fabric softens and creases less. Also, it feels so delicious to wear. And when you see a lot of people wearing expensive looking linen, it’s never crisply ironed; the relaxed look of the weave is what makes it look expensive.

[@MarieAnneLecoeur]

It is a lovely fabric Sparrow - I call the creases smile lines for clothes 😃

Creases prove it’s real linen, thus more chic!

[@SheaMF]

I hate wearing blazers as they usually don’t fit me well. I have larger biceps, so arms are often tight; and at every size I’ve been in my 50 years (from regular to plus size), it never fits in the bust area, usually too large…Needless to say, it would require a lot of tailoring; and they’re mostly uncomfortable. I own a few as I sometimes have to wear them for work…but I just hate them. I like the look, but not how it feels.

[@bernadettedevereaux8694]

I’m 5’1’ and have a few suggestions. First and foremost you have to find a good seamstress or tailor because all of your garments will need to be altered. Your sleeves must be shortened as well as your hemlines. Do not buy maxi dresses or skirts. Pay attention to necklines. Do not wear turtlenecks. Buy V necks or square neck blouses and tops. Buy cropped jackets. They stop at your waist so you avoid looking like you’re wearing a man’s suit jacket.

Well, now I am confused about denim jackets, lol. I am short and plus size (though I'm slowly losing weight). I was told that a short denim jacket (not buttoned-up) could be flattering. Mine sits at the waist, is unbuttoned, and I roll up the sleeves. I believe it helps to define my non-existent waist. I never wear denim-on-denim. What do you think? Thank you for another wonderful video!

[@MarieAnneLecoeur]

I am not a fan of denim jackets Susan they are far too ... well frumpy for my taste. If worn open they can create a column of colour which can be slimming and flattering but why choose a denim jacket when there are far nicer jackets to be found 😘

[@suzannehall5200]

This was the best plus size video you have done. It was so good. I don’t understand why designers insist on putting high necklines on plus size clothing either, especially in summer! I can only guess that they are all skinny and don’t get it. I also get annoyed that they make so few midi lengh dresses for plus sizes because I am only 5ft 2 and a midi dress on me is a maxi dress. By the time I cut about 6 inches off a maxi dress I have ruined it in most cases. I do wear short dresses because they end up sitting just below my knees and that looks great.

I have to laugh!! I can’t tell if you are saying horizontal or horrible!! I love your videos-always informative along with entertaining!

[@MarieAnneLecoeur]

😃 I am so sorry Stephanie my accent gets in the way 🤪 maybe for my lovely larger ladies horizontal is horrible 😃

[@happy1804]

🎉❤❤❤😊 I definitely see 😊 the difference!!! 😊❤❤❤🎉 I like what I see too!! You look so very good Marie-Anne...you lo9k so alive and vibrant!

[@MarieAnneLecoeur]

Merci Happy - I am glad you enjoyed it x

[@sooome9294]

I did emotional purchasing and bought many false fabric tops. I could barely go through last years summer and this year it’s even worse due to natural changes. They are leaving today with the encouragement from you. Mercy, ❤

👏decluttering is good for your style 😃

Fantastic video for those of us who are plus size! Great suggestions. Agree that v-neck is always more flattering than a round neck. By the way, would you have any info on the denim shirt you showed at about the 11:45 time frame? Merci!

[@MarieAnneLecoeur]

Bonjour IRC that was a late addition to the video as an example - I will try to add the link later 😘

[@dkblue9331]

Fantastic video - very helpful! Love your enthusiasm Marianne - you’re a breath of fresh air. Merci beaucoup ☺💖

[@MarieAnneLecoeur]

You are very welcome DK 😃

I'm not plus but these outfits are soooo good looking. Many plus celebrities could use your advice. I'm post menopause, average size (with post menopause tummy thickening) but wonder if the Lanebryant elastic back shirt comes in regular sizes, preferable petite because I'm short. All these outfits would do well on my body.

[@MarieAnneLecoeur]

I am available for consultations 😃

[@tiffanygustafson1060]

Merci, Marie! This video was helpful. I’ve been a size 6/8 my entire adult life, but because of health issues this year, I am now a size 14/16. It’s definitely been an adjustment getting comfortable in my new body, especially because dressing in a chic and stylish manner has been important to me since childhood! Your video has encouraged me with additional ideas and ways I can still portray and elevated style, regardless of my size. Thanks again!

[@MarieAnneLecoeur]

You are very welcome Tiffany 🤗 I am so glad you mentioned becoming comfortable with your new shape 👏 loving yourself right here and now is an important step forward in style 😘

[@user-rd9ks8dw8c]

Super conseils je suis trop contente, et peux nous conseiller aussi sur quoi porter pour les gens qui ont le haut du dos un peu courbe ... Merci beaucoup Anne et j' ai souscrit.

[@allyirvine7537]

Excellent!

[@kelrogers8480]

Love the French language touch! Plus, s'il vous plait! ❤

[@MarieAnneLecoeur]

I can do that Kel 😃

[@carolalexander1429]

@kelrogers8480, when you leave out the ‘I’ you are telling her to love her French language touch. I don’t understand the sentence, really, so please forgive me if I am out of line. 😊

[@carolalexander1429]

This video is truly helpful. Thank you.

[@MarieAnneLecoeur]

Glad it was helpful Carol x

[@mstoraelle8582]

ouhhhhh I don't know how I got here but I'm glad, new follower, so far I'm on tract with the blazer, angles, and the direction of the stripes ❤

[@MarieAnneLecoeur]

Bonjour Norah - I am glad you got here too 😃😘

[@bgrecoverycoaching2536]

Hi! Very nicely put together my dear!! This was chock full oof excellent tips. Very nice!! P.S. your teeth look nice!!

[@MarieAnneLecoeur]

Merci BG - a whole year of invisiline and looking like I was sucking a sweet in my videos paid off 😅

[@violas.86]

I like most of the tips except the wider legged pants. I am 167cm but legs are short and those are just not flattering on me. So what pants does one wear with a longer blouse? I wear skinny jeans and leggings simply because the wider pants looks I have tree stumps for legs. ☹️

[@MarieAnneLecoeur]

There are a lot of style issues in here Viola - the length of your legs, perhaps also you may be long waisted - certainly you will have a long torso watch here kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXKtnIyCmNGXrrc and here kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIbGZapmlNubkJY a generic video like the one you have just watched can't answer all the style questions that every viewer has but it pays to look around my channel as i have covered just about every style topic 😃

[@violas.86]

@@MarieAnneLecoeur thank you I will have a look! Strangely never considered I may have a longer torso if my legs are short. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Something new to consider. Thanks again.

[@pennycooks1389]

Great video thanks it’s true always polyester suck Of it . Sick of black dresses in shops for summer . They need a real Plus size lady to help Them design

[@MarieAnneLecoeur]

Yes indeed Penny 👏

[@heididepotter8136]

Very helpfull, Marie-Anne X

[@MarieAnneLecoeur]

[@susanclotfelter7247]

Marie-Anne, can you talk about seersucker? I don't know the French word for it. It is the all-cotton fabric that is striped and slightly puckered. Classic for summer. Often in classic navy or medium blue.

[@MarieAnneLecoeur]

I will see what I can com up with Susan x

[@devadii24]

Love seersucker ❤ for summer

[@alliterationUK]

Always check the lengths of the minis. If you're not very tall, they're actually knee length often enough.

[@hetedeleambacht6608]

Make your own clothes, ladies, it `s easier then you think, and so much fun

[@abjealva]

Yaaaassss, you are 100% right about everything you have said!

[@MarieAnneLecoeur]

[@susanjacobs5582]

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

We shoppers can force brands to offer natural, non-plastic fibers. Just never buy them. It isn’t easy, but I don’t, not even in blends. I don’t shop any brands that don’t use natural fibers. In my case, I don’t have a choice because of plastic allergies, but these develop with repeated exposure and are more common than most people realize. In addition, by pre-menopause we can overheat so quickly and miserably that non-breathable plastics are just unwearable. They’re not really suitable for clothing at all. The only reason brands ever use them is to increase their profits by cutting their fabric costs to nearly zero. If certain items don’t work out for you, synthetic ones will have no value to secondhand wearers and don’t biodegrade. Don’t buy: polyester, acrylic, nylon, acetates or spandex. Brands are clever, they use different names, if in doubt, look them up. Vote with your wallets, ladies!
