Body Shape Masterclass Ep 5 | Styling Ideas for a 6ft Hourglass Woman

In Episode 5 of the Body Shape Masterclass, personal stylist Melissa Murrell styles a 46-year-old UK size 12 (US 8) woman who’s nearly 6ft tall (5ft 11¾, to be exact!) with a classic hourglass figure.

With a 36-inch inside leg, shopping for workwear that fits and flatters wasn’t easy — but this session is packed with practical styling tips for tall women with curves. From proportion balancing to shape-enhancing tricks, this is real-life styling for real women — no models, just honest solutions that work.
