the sound my knees made when I practiced picking up an item was not so elegant 😭

I'd love if you could teach how to dress up elegantly in different occasion. Thank you!

Tbh, I felt like a princess whom you were teaching royal etiquette’s in her teenage years

This is honestly more than just etiquette and elegance. This is confidence building. Thank you so much for making this!

This is the channel I didn’t know I needed.

This may sound odd, but can you make a video on how to enter and leave a car/ vehicle elegantly? Love your videos! Keep up the great work!

Not even kidding, as soon as a camera would come out, my mom would assume the “feminine” stance as naturally as blinking. She was *trained.*

> 0:56 standing - place both feet at hip width apart (to extend/open up body to appear confident) 2:20 more elegant/feminine stance - put two feet together, one foot behind another, ball of front foot touching middle of second foot, shift all the weight to back foot, tuck knees in 4:13 sitting - walk backwards without looking at chair to not break eye contact with person, sit down (use hands to feel chair), when sitting down imagine little kitten behind your back that you don't want to squish, use chair arms to make yourself near back of chair, if no chair arms sit in middle of chair 6:20 sitting posture - keep head high, chin parallel to ground, for men keep feet slightly apart grounded on the floor and no shaking of the legs, for women same way but keep your feet a bit closer together firmly on the ground 7:10 more elegant/feminine postures - duchess slant, Cambridge cross, Sussex sit 7:44 duchess slant - knees together, feet together, incline them to one side or the other 8:03 cambridge cross - knees together, cross them at ankle but keep feet on ground 8:27 sussex - cross your legs and then slant them to a side 9:16 how to pick up dropped items - bend not from your back, bend on your knees (as if sitting down)

I read "pick dropped items" in the title and I immediately thought about the bend and snap scene from Legally Blonde :D

What to do with hands while just standing and not doing anything, not even talking.

her voice is so soothing

I'll never be a proper lady but I do admire the women who put time and creativity into being elegant. We need all kinds of women in the world 💖

I’m really enjoying your channel on proper etiquette when it seems like a lost art these days. Would you please consider making a video on how to graciously respond to nosey questions? I find that many people these days are too forward in their comments or questions and I would appreciate any tips on how to handle this in a sophisticated manner. Many Thanks for all your dedicated work!

I can't believe, even without knowledge I used to do a lot of things correctly and elegantly . Still a lot to learn . Thank you

It is when i started watching anna bey and jamila, i changed my aesthetic to elegance.

Had a mini heart attack when she dropped the item because it was such a stark sound in comparison to her gentle voice

The way you speak itself is so elegant and decent ☺️

I never knew I've been elegant my whole life...WOW!

I found picking up the dropped items not only conducive to maintaining etiquette but more importantly maintaining good spine health! ❤️

I am 76 years old and mothers taught their little girls how to stand and sit. Times have certainly changed. Enjoyed your video-this is my first time on your channel.

Thank you so much Jamila, I am learning a lot from you from Karachi, Pakistan. There is a request please make a demo video of saying no elegantly. How to decline something without creating drama or being angry.

I am so grateful to have found your channel. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world.🙏🏼😊

as a clumsy person, i'm going to start pick up the drop item elegantly

Heyyy!! I am a teenager from India n i love watching your videos I've changed a lot of things after ur guidings

I clicked on this mostly to amuse myself since I’m physically disabled (specifically having a condition that affects the joints and their ability to hyperextend) and assumed that there’d be nothing for me here but actually some of the sitting positions might work well for me when sitting straight causes me hip problems and anything that helps me to get up easier is good in my book.

Watching this while sitting like a frog on a chair, rubbing my knees on its armrests... I need to learn a lot.

Your way of talking is so smooth and elegant... thanks for the effort!

Watching again and again, just because learning doesn't end. We improve ourselves and our craft everyday. Massive thanks Ms.Jamila.

How about etiquette on wearing perfume? I'd love to hear what you have to say about that!

Thank you Jamilla. Request- A video on how to accept compliments and how to reject offers

This is the best etiquette video I've seen I actually don't feel judged or uncomfortable by it like others. Thank you

I love the way she talk.. so warm and affectionate, albeit I found the video in recommendation.....but this is actually I needed the most. And thank you for being so grateful..lots of love❤❤

A topic I'd like to hear more about is how to excuse yourself from a party politely. Or how to respond when others are being rude in a formal setting

I'm here 4 days before my prom and these videos are really gonna help me out😊

I didn't wake up this morning thinking I would end up subscribing to an etiquette channel... ...and yet here I am, and here I have.

You are the best teacher when it comes to etiquette

those slanted seating positions look so uncomfortable

Can we appreciate how amazing her figure is

So very well put together. I particularly like how you provide several options of doing the same thing depending on the image you are trying to project. I find this very helpful and I thank you. Beautifully done

Very rare content, this is something that we not notice and practice in everyday life, but I learned much from this video. Thank you Jamila. And you are looking beautiful.

I definitely like the Ducchess slant. It just feel more secure and quickly done for when you’re wearing a skirt or dress. Love your channel, Jamila. I’m bingeing on all of the videos today. ❤️

Omg she speaks so softly her voice is soooo satisfying!

I just love how she talks. So calm

Even the way she speaks is elegant...so soothing!

i am a governess for a royal family and this is truly helpful

I appreciate that you also mention the positions for men as well, even if just in passing.

her: don’t look behind while making an eye contact me: *follows the instructions* also me: *trips and falls on my back* well, there goes all my etiquettes 😍😍

I love the cross-slant way of sitting! Thanks for tips😍

I love it! My favorite is the Dutches position. I apply these daily rituals of class to my life for years now. And viewing your lessons, confirms that us ladies know what's best! Oxox Thank you for your wonderful videos, and elegant tips. ❤

You're having real royal personality We're learning so much from your video Can you please upload video How to deal elegantly and smartly to emotionally attached situations Means how do take out this elegance in attitude to situation which are hard to deal with blown out mind?

You are so soothing to listen to, and your tips are just what every cultured and elegant ladies need.. Keep the videos coming.

that vidoe made me feel like I am in a princess school.And she is the queen.

Thank you. I do the Cambridge cross a lot and I bend my knees exactly the way you did to pick stuff up. Thank the Lord I am doing something right

Your voice is so soothing I love listening to you🥺

Thanks dear for your advice. In this noisy, arrogant world a little bit of gentle class and grace are much needed. Confidence is not equal to carrying yourself and behaving like a tomboy. I learned this with time. You are a lovely shortcut for the youger ones that want to follow your advice.

This dress is gorgeous!

I've never felt feminine enough, I hope I will be able to make a change with your videos. Thank you 🌹 Edit : loved the dress ❤️

Such a pleasant voice. Honey to my ears.

I prefer sitting like a confident man, but it's nice to learn those manners for elegant occasions. And now I know how to stand like a flawless greek statue. Thank you.

Glad you are addressing this. Young people are not learning deportment and table manners anymore. 1:34

I’m pretty short and sometimes when I’m wearing flats I can’t put my feet flat on the ground, what should I do in this case? Also, a video suggestion: Hosting a Dinner Party

You look like a queen teaching etiquettes 💖

It brought a smile to my face when I saw how to pick up an item correctly, my boyfriend from middle school told me never to pick up an item bending my back because boys would stare at my butt haha he always picked things for me when I dropped something but also constantly reminded me how I should do it when I had to, how cute the right way is the way he told me and how I've been doing it since then

I love this. Wish it was taught in school. It makes total sense. I realized after a while picking up something that falls without bending the legs looks vulgar or suggestive. Thank you!

Omg i was born with these etiquettes and i always use them naturally😂 expect that voice she has

Finally I found the type of channel✨ which I want from many years.. For an example Be in discipline, Manners - Etiquette and everything Thanks for inventing such kind of channel ☺️

Thank you for these good suggestions on how to be more elegant while sitting, standing and picking items up!

I've been picking my things correctly my whole life !! I'm happy about that !!

Jamila, I’m glad someone still teaches this. I wish I’d found it before my daughter went to prom. She and her companions are not used to wearing long dresses. Thanks for the tips.

Sweet!♥️ you're the QUEEN! ways, voice, accent, looks .

This channel is life! I didn't know I needed this! thank you!

I try to be elegant every day then the reality of mortgage and bills hit me so i end up swearing instead of purring..

Thank you so much for these amazing tips! I would also like to know some basic etiquettes needed as a guest while at someone's house.

I have gained confidence and felt many changes!! This is all because of you😘😘😘😘❤❤thanks a lott!! Stay blessed ,happy n safe!!! Keep succeeding ❤❤❤lots of ❤❤❤Love

I love etiquette❤. I'm glad that you take care so much about it. I really enjoy these etiquette rules.

I just found your channel and already in love with your aura! Your videos are so informative and the descriptions are flawless! I would request you to do a video on 'conversation etiquttes' someday please. Keep up the great work ❤

My sister is in the army. I just forced her to watch this and she burst out laughing.

Your classes are precious gifts. Thank so much for your hard work and kindness. ❤

Iam so grateful to have you . Thank you for sharing your knowledge ❤

I would love a video on elegant body language when it comes to the hands. How to frame our face femininely?

I learned a lot! I mean, I know picking up things like that is also medically good since the center of gravity is balanced.

Girl you're good at this!

The best and most useful content channel, thank u sooo much 🥰

My favorite is the Cambridge cross. It seems the most comfortable and makes me keep good posture. If I slant I tend to slouch. ;)

Notes for myself when I rewatch: STAND 1. confident 1:59 2. elegant: 2:37 SIT 1. job interview 5:00 2. Cross 8:08 DROP 9:28

I remember Jamila. We met through a MatchGuaranty Zoom call. Even then I knew she was headed for bigger and better things. So admire her!😊

You are simply the BEST ! 💫

I'd like to know if there's a way to sneeze elegantly XD I really need it since I have dust allergies ;-;

Subscribed! Finally, I find a good channel about those things. Could you make a video on the way of talking, the voice? Oh and also about facial expressions? Thank you!

I have been looking for this kind of channel and here my search has ended. Thank you. SUBSCRIBED IT.

Thank you for teaching our ladies proper etiquette. Also, my preference is the cambridge cross.

Me (extremely slouched over legs wide sitting on a stool in a bathtub as my toddler splashes bubbles): nodding enthusiastically right yeah for sure

my issue with short dresses is that the only way nothing can be seen through is by crossing your legs from the thighs. If I put my knees together, that covers nothing because I'm really underweight. Its no issue if what Im wearing is knee length. If it's shorter, not possible. Anyone with the same issue?

I am excited about the information you give and your tone is full of eloquence and grace. I have a learnt a lot 😊 and thanks for sharing

these videos are great for social anxiety. these are what i need. how to sit, stand, walk. i came here from the dining etiquette video. i've seen different videos on it but i love that you have a channel for this and this is what you do. subscribed.

It would be wonderful if you could do a couple on sitting and picking things up for short women. I'm under 5' tall and it is a little hard to sit like that when your feet don't touch the floor!

Duchess slant looks elegant, I personally prefer to use this posture more while sitting

I do these tips naturally I have done them since my childhood and it's very super that I already do them Thank you my lady for this wonderful video

I love the Sussex slant...so elegant and comfortable. Thank you 😊

Ok I love this stuff! Half of it Ive been doing just because I was self conscious being in heels lol. Please do a video on proper first date etiquette for LADIES AND MEN!
