Thank you for this info! That's a helpful addition for plus size, petite ladies. 🙏

​@@PriskaJordanI can vouch for this on plus sized tallsreally easy to go from 1/3 to 1/4. .

...and I'm sure it's also the magnetism of your energy! Dressing just plays up your inner state 🥰

@@PriskaJordan thank you!

Can you tell me which type of jeans you wear like straight jeans or wide jeans

@@exolovebambibambi1763 I usually wear a style that is fitted in the waist and thighs but boot cut or flare on bottom - I think it’s most flattering.

You just made my day!! Thank you so much. I've actually been considering rebranding, because people keep saying what you've said as well. We shall see.. ☺

Yes I hate high rise I’m 5’3 and my hips sit right below my ribs

That's aaaamazing!!! 🙌 A free style upgrade. I'm so glad to hear this -- THANK YOU for telling me! This type of comments lights my fire. 🤗

Oh yay!! I'm so glad that tip is helpful & empowering. It definitely depends on where the sleeve end is placed on the arm. And thank you for complimenting the pink dress. (It's very old from Banana Republic.)

That is wonderful to hear. Thank you very much!! I’ve been on the same journey as you - learning to dress for myself instead of general trends. It’s empowering! Keep going - you’ll feel that confidence & enjoyment in your outfits as you continue to choose what flatters you. 🙌🏼

That's great to hear! 💃 Thank you!

Yes, well they're so similar and oftentimes the same styling techniques can be used to flatter both figures.

Hi! While I appreciate the compliment, I don't have an inverted triangle body shape. Perhaps this video would help explain in more detail: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d55noqqH0s7emZ8.html

Thank you, Maria! :) My last name is Jordan. My first name is Priska, but since I've gotten married, I get "Jordan" a lot now. LOL!

I've had that issue, too! It definitely depends on the way the shorts are cut -- the waist height, the room around the thighs, etc. -- and the fabric. After a lot of try-ons, I've found only a few shorts that work for me, so I understand just wearing something you know works for you. Thank you for your thoughtfulness in commenting, Janet! :)

I don't like shorts either! I have the same issues

I’m an hourglass too but bermuda shorts work really well. Anything knee length or just above. I had trouble finding the length I wanted one year and just went out and bought a second hand pair of jeans and cut the legs at the length I wanted. I did also own a brand new pair of capri jeans which I was not wearing and had been unwilling to do anything with. In the end I realised that I might just as well cut those to the length I need and wear them. So I did just that. You can find second hand jeans in many types of leg widths. These days frayed hems are a thing. You don’t even need to sew. Just decide on the best length and cut.

Sorry my last message was for Janet Lynne as a suggestion, not for you Priska! So sorry!

Hehe! Great ideas, Bernadette! Thanks for sharing with her...and me 😉

Wow, thank you!

I'm so glad to hear that! I was looking for someone near my size to see how clothes would look on me, and that's exactly what I wanted to offer with my channel. I'm so glad you're here!

I certainly can do that! :) For the recent pieces in each video, I've added the links to the description box. The only thing is, most of my clothing is "old" -- at least a year, so no longer available. But if you're interested in a piece that isn't linked, just let me know, and I can at least tell you the brand to see if they have something similar in this season.

@@PriskaJordan Thanks! Thats very nice of you. I'm obsessed with your sort of abstract animal print midi skirt and the basic black square neck tank. I'm a big fan of finding older items online and getting them secondhand. Your ivory sort of short suit set is gorgeous too.

@christinegonzalez7976 You're going to laugh, but I'm just seeing your response here. 😆 That leopard print midi has been worn 100 times minimum. I bought it at a boutique years ago, and then "leopard midis were outdated", and now they're back again. 😎 The ivory suit is from Express, but sadly, I washed it with my jeans and now it's blue tye-dye... Whoops!

Yeah, I've tested other rises, and it looks best. So glad the 90s low-rise trend isn't sooo hot again!!

Not if you have a short torso.

I have lots of videos for you!! Watch my "Flatter Your Curves" playlist first.

That's wonderful to hear! You're well on your way to discerning your style & how you want to present yourself. Thanks for your kind comment, Jasmine. 🤗

Same- exact situation. I still find myself wearing crop tops. Then a blazer over it. Smh this I’m going to watch.

Very cool. I’m glad you liked it! 🤗

Very cool! Thanks for watching 🙏🏼

I'm so glad to hear that! 😊

Good to know! You're welcome & thanks for watching 🤗

I’m glad you picked up a useful tip. Thanks for watching! 💃🏻

Hey Bernadette! If you like Bermuda shorts, please by all means keep wearing them. :) This guidance is more for curvy, hourglass body types and are just my suggestions. Still, I hope this give you some ideas to play with. Thank you for watching!

Yes, that’s an additional dynamic to your shape. I have a short torso, and while the traditional advice is to “balance” it with a lower waist, I prefer to exaggerate it. It’s more interesting that way - just my preference.

I’m 5 foot also but struggling to figure out any type of fashion I recently lost 80 pounds thanks for posting your comment specifying your height

I see why you might be confused. There's a lot of inaccurate information floating around about body shapes. It's determined by proportions of measurements to each other, so it's not simple math. An hourglass is defined as having a waist measurement that's 25% less than the shoulders and hips, and the shoulders/bust and hips are similar to each other in relation to the waist measurement.

I recommend the calculator that I used which types you as a top hourglass. That makes sense since your hips are more narrow than your shoulders & bust. Hope this helps! 😊

Just from what I can tell I think your an inverted triangle since your bust is bigger than your waist, I don’t think your an rectangle since if you were your measure meant would be closer in size your waist would be like 29-27 and your bust would be 30-32 most likely

Looks like inverted triangle

Ah okay, I understand. Thanks for explaining that, Kris! It's all about finding what looks best on your body. I hope some of my tips were helpful in offering alternative ideas. :)

Yes some of the advice is super helpful. Especially the concept of dressing with softer curvier lines rather than angles or sharp geometric. I do believe after discovering Kibbe types that I understood why “dressing for your hourglass” is advice that often leads women astray, especially for me. I didn’t understand how much my body frame and bones mattered. An hourglass can be tall or short, and either angular/geometric, or rounded and curved. The best outfits would be completely different for these types. Merriam Style has an amazing YT video on Hourglass that shows the different types and how different the clothing advice would be for different hourglass figures. It changed the way I think about my body and why some recommendations don’t work for me. For example on my body doing a French Tuck for most shirts makes me look boxy and square. And high waisted pants usually do too because they are square at the waist and don’t pinch in enough. They are all angles and no curves. And many “curvy” jeans designed with a small waist aren’t in petite proportions but designed for standard height. (like they expect you to be petite OR curvy but never both at the same time). Now I know what my body lines are and why things don’t work. But finding clothes that do work or how to put together the outfits is still a struggle! Thanks for your videos, I’m trying to take advice from everywhere and put it all together in a way that works for me.

Hehe agreed! Thanks for watching 🙏

Yay! I hope that helps you on your personal style journey.

Love to hear that! Welcome 🤗

Thank you! Mine was from Reformation, but it's quite old and sold out. However, Quince makes an identical dress (the cut and viscose fabric), linked here: shopstyle.it/l/b6N8J

@@PriskaJordan Thank you! I can create a similar look with a wrap skirt and a tank top, but the Quince dress seems very flattering and comfy.

Which size do you wear in Reformation? 8? I've never ordered anything from them as I'm not sure about my size, but we have almost identical measurements, so I probably need the same size as yours. ​@@PriskaJordan

Yeah, I recommend the Quince one. It's the same quality at a fraction of the price. And yes, I wear size 8 in Ref's dresses and tops.

Do you have an hourglass body type? I don't have all your measurements, so it's hard for me to advise. Definitely wear what is comfortable for you: function and form combined.

I think I understand where you’re coming from. Personally, I like to flatter my curves, and that’s my focus with this channel. I think most of the other influencers are showing boxier clothes though.

@@PriskaJordan but many other influencers are flat and don’t have any curves to speak of😆

Precisely!!! That’s why I’m not attracted to their style. I LOVE the femininity of curves. It’s gorgeous & the way the magnificent designer created us. 👩🏻‍🍳💋 But if you like to wear boxier styles, you can shop less tailored pieces or go up a size for a roomier fit. Hope that helps!

If I were you, I'd just try it out and evaluate what you think. If you like it, wear it. If you dislike it, at least you tried something new. :)

The light blue dress is from & Other Stories. I bought it last summer and it's likely sold out, but they make similar styles each year.

Thanks for sharing! My videos are well suited for you, since I'm an hourglass, too. :)

@@PriskaJordan great!!!

Yes, that’s correct. The shoulder, hip, and waist measurements create the proportions for an hourglass shape.

You know what it was as a teen the pants were high waisted. My grandmother as a child also try to get me to wear those granny panties as christmas gifts >.

Check out this video where I talk about flattering shorts details for curvalicious babes 😉 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a69mfs9mzMXPmn0.html

Oh, of course! I'm 5'5".

Well, I believe that if you like the way you look in it, you should wear it. And if you don't like it, just pass. My philosophy with personal style is that it's all about how you see yourself when you wear clothes.

@@PriskaJordan 😘 such approach really warms my heart 😊 well, I guess we change our philosophies with time… I hope you will be able keep yours regrdless of time passing ! ✊

@@happygoluckystar8069 that's so kind of you to say. Thank you! 🙏

This probably isn’t the right channel for you then. 😉

But it’s super IN fashion? 🤔

I gotta admit, she seems more like a pear shape, but her suggestions are still on point!

What is it then, expert?
