    At 61 I’m in better shape than at 51. I started working out daily a year ago. I feel amazing. I’m having time of my life dressing up. I no longer want to cover myself up. Just an hour a day on the treadmill works wonders! I’ve gone from a size 6 to a 2. I have a waistline again. Everything looks better. Even my arms. There’s hope for us all at any age. 💃

    Thank you so much for this video! I'm an unusual rectangle in that I have a large bust so I have to be careful when choosing pieces. A lot of garments that fit my bust are massively too big for my torso and hips. Since taking your eCourse and learning to look for shirt dresses (and wrap dresses) I've added a load of flattering dresses to my wardrobe - including a number from Boden. One other thing that makes shopping Boden attractive is that they include the *actual garment dimensions!!!* for each size - so I can see in advance if a piece will fit my bust AND my torso. That's been a game change for me!

    All featured dresses are beautiful and as a rectangle bodyshape I enjoyed so much this, Marie-Anne! My favourites are fit and flare and button down shirt dresses. Such a lovely pick, they all provide the much desired waistline. That white broderie anglaise dress from Mango is so cute and I'm so glad I've got a similar one from Next last summer fully lined as well. You look absolutely stunning in Navy blue and your hair is wonderful. Merci beaucoup for all your helpful advice 🙏🏻💙

    This feels like it’s just for me, I’m definitely a rectangle shape! I was always an hourglass, then around menopause my waist just thickened and thickened, but my weight is the same as on my wedding day almost 40 years ago! Not just styling, but even just finding any clothes that fit at all is tricky. My hips are narrow, so I never had much luck with trousers, even with my 4-inch smaller, youthful waist. I wear almost entirely skirts and dresses instead. Thanks, dear Marie-Anne❤❤❤

    Dear Ms MarieAnne,
    This was my favorite episode of all time I think. How lovely are most all of these dresses. I wasn’t sure that I had a square body shape until seeing this.
    I’ve always been told since youth that I look good in a fit’n’flair dress. Now I understand why. I have a definite waist line but wouldn’t consider myself hourglass shaped. These shapes of dresses create that feminine definition I enjoy wearing. So nice to see these fresh looks. Thank You for the pleasure today. ❤🇺🇸🙋‍♀️

    Banana Republic but missed out on the six 6. It is also sold out in most store as well. Very popular dress.
    I went ahead and ordered the dress in pink as this is another colour that suites my colouring. I’m anxious to receive it and try to accessorize it. I have a beautiful navy sweater that would look fabulous with the dress. I am working on my wardrobe and having fun building up my pieces, thanks to your help.

    I am more of an inverted triangle. I like shirt dresses and bought a vertical striped shirt dress from Banana Republic in neutral colors. Instead of wearing the self-tie that comes with the dress, I wear either a natural or navy colored woven belt that matches the stripes in the dress to bring in the waist.

    I recently bought three dresses. They are very similar to those shown in your video. One is a white broderie anglais dress which I will wear with a belt. I also have a broderie anglais jacket. I bought sandals to match the belt which is brown. The second dress is in a green tropical print and the third dress is for cooler days. It has a black bodice, long sleeves and the skirt is green with a black pattern on it. I just hope we get good weather to wear them this year.

    White dress cut does not truly work when you have less highlighted waist line. Every time I am tempted to buy this style of the dress, but always return as the waist cut is too high on my torso, and the dress makes me look pregnant. I tried with a belt, but because of the high cut the position of the belt has to be too high. I think that a dress without any cut in the middle works the best. Overall, enjoy your videos and suggestions 😊

      I have a relatively short torso so sometimes find this a problem too - especially when I try petites. Sometimes the petite model is too short for my torso,, but the standard size is too long 🙄 Oh well, paying attention to fit like this, just means we have more money for the wow pieces that do work - and fewer mistake pieces taking up space in our closets!

    I've found some similar dresses in Ross store last week (US sizes 16-18). Some are pure cotton, others are cotton/polyester mix, ranging from $16-25 dollars. The downside is that you'll have to dig through a lot of weird dresses to find them, but that makes the reward of finding one (or more) great dresses even sweeter. 😀👗

    I tried on that black JCrew dress, and it is beautiful. I never wear black (or the pure white or olive green that is offered on their website) because I am blond and very fair. There are no tones that work for me in these dresses. Black and white are so popular this year! Sometimes dressing is so complicated. Square necklines, for example, aren't the most flattering cut on an oblong face. Really love that you are focusing on body shape! Great video!

    Hi Marie-Anne
    I’m following up regarding the banana republic tie bodice dress. I ordered the pink one and
    it is beautiful. The size 6 fits well. I was visiting a friend in Montreal last week and she
    took me to a mall that sold banana republic clothes and to my surprise I was able to find
    the lovely dress in my size in the navy blue colour! I was so excited as this dress was completely
    sold out online. Now I have to decide if I will keep the pink one or send it back. They are
    such elegant dresses. I guess the navy dress was meant to be found.
