Book Reviews of Dress Your Best: The Complete Guide to Finding the Style That's Right for Your Body
Book Review: Positive way to accentuate body type w/ style!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been a fan of "What Not To Wear" on TLC for a couple years now, and one thing that stands out is how Stacy and Clinton give boosts to a person's self-esteem. I believe they really care about the people with whom they work.
I love this book! It is like watching the show. They take women and men of all body types and colors, and show them how to make the most of what they have. Tall with a small waist and a big bust? No problem. Short with a thicker middle and small bust? No problem. Tall with a barrel chest? No problem. The photos show everyone in three outfits (work, weekend and evening).
There are universal tips (mixing metallics, wearing embossed leather pumps for the evening, mixing florals and animal prints). I recommend that no matter what your body type, you read the entire book.
As much as I love the clothes in this book, I have to say that because I live in Seattle (land of khaki, jeans and yoga pants), the work clothes are too dressy. I am a stay-at-home mom and own a cafe. The weekend clothes I would wear for date night and I have never been anywhere where I would wear the evening clothes.
HOWEVER, remember that the trick to this book is to see the styles and shapes of the clothes, the fabric and the design, and use those to make up your wardrobe.
What have I learned from this book? Well, for one, because of my body type, a boot cut pant makes my butt look bigger than it is. Pointed toe box shoes elongate the legs. When you are heavier on top or on the bottom, the key is to balance your figure. The problem is not your body; rather, it's the clothes makers. You can wear an amethyst-colored blouse with a neutral jacket, pant and shoes, AND wear an emerald-green handbag!
I am braver in my fashion choices because of Stacy and Clinton!
