I think it looks breezy and relaxed. Like you just took off all the armor after a long day of training your dragon and are now just having an ale at the travern 😂🎉
While I personally think this looks very great on you ❤ the answer to your question lies in the cut and size. The shirt your wearing is your size, it fits you perfectly and flatters your shape. However to achieve the light and summery breeze look you need a shirt that's either at least two sizes bigger than your actual size or something your size with an oversized cut/shape. And to make it feel like your straight out of a Raffaelo ad, it has to be white, and either unbuttoned in the front or tied in a slouchy knot in the front. What also helps create a more relaxed, summery look is the type of fabric of the shirt is made of. Yours is a tightly woven fine cotton, giving a more formal/structured look. A thin linen or a musselin type of fabric seems more relaxed, has a bit of natural texture to it. And if you want it to flow/fall really nicely, look for something made with Rayon or Viscose. All of these fabrics are also very soft on the skin and habe natural cooling properties compared to synthetics and even synthetic blends.
*for Americans who (as I was shocked to learn when I studied abroad in America) don't have Raffaellos (or ads for them), think the message of a 00s tampon commercial, but like, with the visuals of a designer perfume, or the fanciest type of chocolate i would also add that while viscose is great at that airy feel and my #1 fabric for breathability in heat, it is also *incredibly* floppy and holds no shape whatsoever, so you can very easily end up looking sloppy too. (a mix between viscose and cotton might be the answer to this, but i haven't seen many blends like that)
@@alissa6380we have Raffaellos, not as well known as Rochers but very much available. True I haven’t seen any ads specifically for them, though, but I haven’t watched many ads in well over a decade. But I’m in Oklahoma, not a big coastal city or anything, and even my Walmart has Raffaellos & has for as long as I can remember.
Ok so I totally love how supportive everyone is being… and also I’m here to say I absolutely, 100%, can’t believe it…. Agree with the sentiment. I have fallen for the con that is the long tunic in an effort to appear bohemian, cool, casual, “breezy” as you called it. Then I look in the mirror and feel like a Teletubby. Breaks my heart every time.
Condolence, I understand that struggle. It is in a way a tendency of body dysmorphia, & I have this moment quite frequently too. Not just by the shape of the clothes but also by the colours (like bright colours made me feel like Barney and friends) One thing that I learned through it is that my body looks bad in certain cuts of shape. So I invested a lot of time and efforts to find the right cuts that fits the criteria of cool, casual & breezy for me. Then I used that as sample to tailor more clothes for me to wear. It was my way of coping. I hope that you found yours 🌸
I went through like a decade long tunic and leggings era and REALLY thought I had cracked the code to looking cute but I never got asked when I was due more often in my life. I realized maybe it wasn’t the look I should be going for and stopped wearing tunics. Never was asked again when I’m due
I’m a fellow plus-sized lady. I have a hard time finding shirts that fit in my “supposed” size. I usually buy my shirts a size or two bigger than my pants size. And I opt for button down shirts worn open with a tank or shell underneath. Problem solved! That said, teletubbies are awesome.
First off- you look totally gorgeous as is. The garment itself looks really stiff and I feel that kind of makes it look more armoryish. Steaming it and a few of your fun accessories would probably help get more of the look you seem to be looking for.
I agree completely!; Although- I do feel like a size or two up would’ve probably given that “breezy” oversized look, that she was going for / looking for.
Riddle me this batman... why can't you see that 'other people' see you as light and airy and breezy and approchable, and themselves as a dragon rider? You are stuck in your head! You're BEAUTIFUL stop it!!!
@@foresthobo1166 this right here just changed my whole outlook on appearance. Next time I look in the mirror and start to judge my appearance, I'll determine it to be a mirror problem and not a me problem 👌 perfection at it's finest 🦋
It looks nice on you! If you want a more breezy look, you have to go with 2 sizes too big and cinch it with a ponytail holder underneath at the waist or chest
I am not generally super into clothes but I had just had the vague thought that I liked how that looked on you. However, your description sounded WAY better. You're right, it's awesome.
As someone who loves the breezy vibe, I'd say your shirt currently fits you perfectly, but I'd size up about two sizes for more dramatic breezing action - also, seconding the commenter who mentioned going for linen instead of cotton/polyester :)
As much as i appreciate the medieval support network in the comments, it's the fashionistas for me! You all really came through with the size color fabric styling hacks ❤❤❤
So funny. I just tried on something today and felt the same exact way. And sometimes it doesn’t matter if we look fabulous. It’s okay if we don’t feel fabulous.
My husband likes to say my size and look(which I'm larger than you) reminds him of a bohemian princess. It was very stylish and only rich women could afford to be that size. I love his thoughts on that.
I love that thought too. I used to work in a historic palace with paintings on the ceiling (clouds, cherubs, that kind of thing) and all the women were voluptuous
That is actually very factual information. Back then? The larger you were, the richer you were and were seen as the true upper class All for one reason. They could afford food and not just once a day but 4 to 5 times a day, every day Including going to rich parties where there was enough food to feed an entire village for the entire day. But, only the rich got to experience that. The poor was skinny because they hardly ate and could only afford food for maybe once a day, IF that Most likely, enough food for 3 maybe 3 1/2 days. IF they could make it stretch. Which meant, they only went hungry for 3 1/2 days. Unless there were kids. Then Mom ate maybe 3 times a week. 4 if she pinches her pennies and forgo everything else. Including medical treatment. It was a different world then.
@@alricaneshama 3 day soup! 😂 There's a song about it from back then can't remember all the words but it's basically buying meat for the first day of the "soup" because it's basically still just water that had to be boiled anyway, with a little more flavor and nutrition. Then when you got paid the next day buying a potato to add, I think day three was a rutabaga or something we don't eat much anymore. Saw it in a book of songs during the colonial era, but a lot of people settling out west growing there own food did it to make the harvest stretch so they could sell more of it/make it last through the winter.
I am loving it! Its not that you look that way, its you feel that way. And who doesn't want feel like they are going to fight a dragon! I am here for it.
I used to wear my parents old shirts as "aprons" of sorts when baking, so when I saw your outfit it reminded me of baking cupcakes as a child. I love your interpretation even more though, especially in combination with my memories: Defending the cupcakes with all your strength and steel 😂😂😂💖💖💖
😊❤ The cloth isn't heavy and thin enough to drape on you! This is why some of my really thin, almost see-through stuff is flattering when large, but some cloth was made for being a polo shirt 😂
That shirt suits you well. That just became a ren fair shirt. Doing exactly the outfit you described. Or, with some work and accessories you could do the spellcaster thing you did at the end
Me too! So many people are telling her to rock that look, but I thought it looked the way she wanted it to look. That said, warrior isn't a bad look either.
Hehehe I had such a great chuckle when you started talking about sword fighting 😂🤣. Cuz I get it 🤣 Tho honestly that colour and the softness of the material look great on you. I like shirts, but I found a lot of shirts have that problem - great on a manikin but on me, that’s something entirely different 🙈🤣😂
So what I'm hearing is "I, Gwenna, look way cooler than everyone else"
👏🏻🫶🏻
Under rated comment
It's true tho
That is what I heard!
Yasss🎉
You're in your Mom Fantasy era. Now go forth, Mi'lady Cusses, and head with your books to the sunny Shire.
Lol 😂 Underrated comment. I giggled so loud 🤣😂 Thank you!!
@@krissi1234 You're welcome! 🥰
Yes, a LOTR moment 😂
Bahahaha... Definitely an underrated comment... I fkn cackled! 😂😂😂
... To the sunny shire 😂😂😂😂
I love this particular comment!! 😂
Miss girl, you just described what you look like as a freaking fantasy protagonist and you look awesome, stop being down on yourself
It’s called your badassary is so strong no matter what you wear you’ll always look so much cooler than everyone else.
I think it looks breezy and relaxed. Like you just took off all the armor after a long day of training your dragon and are now just having an ale at the travern 😂🎉
😂😂😂
100% agree😂😂
😂😂
This comment made me laugh out loud. Thank you

Excellent Ted Talk!!! Seriously, though, thank you for the very informative post.
I agree with all this but I think she could get away with just adding a pretty fabric waist belt to this outfit

Yes. The fabric?!!! Ans the buttons, u need a more tunic style front instead of men's button-down. GOT IT!!! ❤❤❤ but do you, dragon slayer 😂
The way you said “dead father’s honor” got me rolling!
The 'or ride them' was it for me
RIP Domingo Montoya, the greatest swordsmith in ...that fandom, anyhow
Because you have a fantastic personality and a whimsical aura!
Dude, rock the medieval warrior look. It's badass
Definitely! 🖐️
Just needs some wide leather 'braclets' 😏 to accessorize 😁
I think it looks good. Just needs a little something to break up the vibe.
@@steggopotamusAgreed, I was thinking pockets or a utility belt for ease of carrying gummies and snackages
And Powerful Warrior Queen is a problem!?! 😂
Rock that look!
Yeah, that will work too.
Because that's not the look she is aiming for.
I love her energy!!!❤
I think that sounds infinitely better.
I mean, the dragons and swords thing would be pretty awesome 😎
TBH, the sword stuff sounds way more interesting to me, but I hear your concerns.

It actually looks really cute!!!
Because your a fricking beautiful and adventurous person❤
Some people just have it..the power..the grace, go on dragon rider. ✨🙆
Because you wear it best obviously. Thank you for the reminder I need to be dressing a little more casual fantasy, it sparks joy.
Casual fantasy is how I want to describe my wardrobe from now on.
more cloaks. (daggers optional)
it's because you're vibes are immaculate. everyone needs to be on your level, but only some will be destined for greatness
Honestly it looks absolutely awesome now that I’m visualizing the image

Stop lying.
That and the high slits on the side that give the tunic vibe, lower slits make it look more like an oversized shirt/dress from a more uniform hemline
I agree completely!; Although- I do feel like a size or two up would’ve probably given that “breezy” oversized look, that she was going for / looking for.
Gwenna has a pear shape like me and it just doesn’t work for us big hipped girlies. We rock the hell out of A-line skirts and body hugged dresses tho
Riddle me this batman... why can't you see that 'other people' see you as light and airy and breezy and approchable, and themselves as a dragon rider? You are stuck in your head! You're BEAUTIFUL stop it!!!
Oooh, yes
I mean... she didn't say she's not beautiful tho :)
I second this. This is mirror problem not a person problem.
@@foresthobo1166 this right here just changed my whole outlook on appearance. Next time I look in the mirror and start to judge my appearance, I'll determine it to be a mirror problem and not a me problem 👌 perfection at it's finest 🦋
Girl you look gorgeous that fit looks good on you don’t worry about it it’s beautiful on you
This is soooo me and I just sent this to so many people 😂 I love you Gwenna
But "Riddle me this, Batman" was awesome! I'm so using that!
As a daughter with a Batman loving father, Im so happy to have found another person who says it 😂 I always hit him with a "gee willickers Bat-Dad".
We all used to say that in the 90's
@SoldOut4JESUS in the 80's and 70's too
I never heard this before and was waiting for her to say something about batman
Oh my, I've said riddle me this batman for at least 55+ years, that's an OLD saying, I'm 62
Brienne of Tarth would be proud
you look light and airy!! looks great!!
It looks nice on you! If you want a more breezy look, you have to go with 2 sizes too big and cinch it with a ponytail holder underneath at the waist or chest
I mean, there’s nothing wrong with that, in fact that description makes it pretty dope
I think you rock the hell out of that outfit. Go forth and slay dragons, m'lady!!!
This!
Ok but genuinely, looking like a fantasy protag is such a great vibe fr
You look like it because you feel like it ❤
beCAUuusse YOU. ARE. A. LEGEND! Honestly, that's the kind of person I wish to spend my time with...
It was the "ON GUARD" for me! 😂

So funny. I just tried on something today and felt the same exact way. And sometimes it doesn’t matter if we look fabulous. It’s okay if we don’t feel fabulous.
You look relaxed and cool sis!! ☺️ LOVE the shirt on you gurl 😍 PURRRR!
The way you just sold that... I'd rather be the dragon Rider 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Hahaha 😂 this is exactly how I feel about jumpsuits! My butt and hips melt together and my butt just looks so long lol
That's the most accurate description of my backside in pocketless pants I have ever heard! 😂
Oh, so you both tell me I'm not alone in this?
I just look like a walking butt in rompers and pantsuit things, that's all you see is hips and butt
Being short with a tush that is long is my lifelong curse!
Lmao! Starting a support group for those of us who have been victimized by jumpsuits and pocketless pants 🤣 long butts unite!
Riding dragons is by far the best option you listed. I choose that.
She looks so good

You got that chivalrous spirit 😌
I am loving it! Its not that you look that way, its you feel that way. And who doesn't want feel like they are going to fight a dragon! I am here for it.
I love how she describes things, paints the picture very well😂
"Send, an invitation, She would be a great addition to the boat" lol 😁
Hilarious! Everyone wants to be your bestie!!!❤❤❤
Actually, you look gorgeous. Casual and comfortable. Love it.
Yeah honestly, the vibes you are giving are immaculate. Keep going. Buy more in all the colours.
You look amazing!! 😊
It’s the fabric! Linen!!!!! It’s the way!!!!
I mean…isn’t that the look we’re going for. 🐉
Because you are one fierce mama! That’s why!
SWORD.... I laughed too hard.... I imagined it right away.... Hahahahahha
I can't unsee it now😂😂😂😂😂 yeas SLAY those dragons😂😅
Because we have that “Hero” shaped body of course! 😂❤
You got that warrior soul. Go make your ancestors proud!
I had the same problem and it’s the collar. If you can find one that doesn’t have a fold over collar like that it helps look less Robin Hood
Right! The real definition of Slay!
You look great Gwenna!! I love the “I’m gonna fight for my Dad’s honor on top of a dragon” look!!!
I used to wear my parents old shirts as "aprons" of sorts when baking, so when I saw your outfit it reminded me of baking cupcakes as a child. I love your interpretation even more though, especially in combination with my memories: Defending the cupcakes with all your strength and steel 😂😂😂💖💖💖
I did that with my grandpa’s shirts, too! Completely unbuttoned and then wearing the back of the shirt in front.
BECAUSE YOU'RE A WARRIOR!!!
The onguard caught me off guard 😅😂😂
Your version sounds like so much fun!
I think it looks adorable.
Gwenna, it fits you so well 😂
You’re killin me… you’re beautiful.. I love your description tho… great start to me day❤
I love the turn that took. I was not expecting it. It cracked me up. And like, fair thought. Love your videos and sense of humor. Keep em coming.
Because that's your powerful energy! And your killing it!!❤
Because you're a badass battle Queen!
it genuinely looks great on you, medieval badass is always in style! the “relaxed” look usually comes with how it’s accessorized and the textures 🫶🏽
Ready to fight dragons and defend honour is a 10/10 look. Roll with it. ❤
I am so glad to know I am not the only person who feels that way about themselves in that style of outfit
😂😂 girl I'm choking 😂😂😂
My type of human 😂😂😂oh God I love this woman
I actively aim for dragon rider sometimes, so I dig it!!👏👏👏
I'd rather hang out with someone that can pick up a sword vs light and airy
also those folks use dark magic from the zone of chaos to look like that

Yup, I'm thinking add a sword belt and maybe a vest, and just rock it!
@@litzplummer1157 my thoughts exactly
"this was really made for my kind of human" 😂 hahaha just the way you said that was very funny, you always have me laughing
ok when you were describing how you look is the shirt for a hot second i was convinced you were just describing inigo montoya
Got that 16th century squire outfit, and rockin it
THAT'S HOW I FEEL
But I did immediately think you looked so chill and put together and comfortable and on top of the world
Me too! So many people are telling her to rock that look, but I thought it looked the way she wanted it to look. That said, warrior isn't a bad look either.
I honestly think you look, comfortable, relaxed, and ready to battle any who would dare to harm your kin.
They dont workover fluffy hippies like we have. You might not look those people but I think you look amazing and a classic comfy. Love it ❤❤❤
The fight dragon look is way better. Now i want one.
Color honey. Also a lovely brooch....
So pink, coral, yellow🎉🎉🎉🎉
Ok edna mode ❤😂
That is because you are a warrior goddess queen !!!!
this is amazing ❤️😂
You look wonderful!!!
I feel this things always look great on other people.
