Positive way to accentuate body type w/ style! -
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!

If you want to "Dress Your Best"....get this book! -
This book did not disappoint. Exactly what one would expect from Clinton and Stacy. Direct, colorful, clear and easy to understand. They make it very easy for their readers to apply the principles they suggest by utilizing both pictures and concise directions. It's a great resource for all body shapes for both men & women. Refreshing to see real people with real bodies of all shapes and sizes, rather than pencil thin models, as examples. It's useful now for the 20 or 30-something who is a youthful shape & size....and still useful for that same person in their 40s or 50s when they might not be shaped quite the same.
Tries to cover too much in too little space -
This book should either be longer or broken down into several different books based on shape. The attempt is nice, but I would rather read a book intended just for people shaped like me than six pages of a book for everyone.
Good Book for Fit Challenged People -
Stacy and Clinton's book is great for people who have trouble finding clothes to flatter their shape. It divides solutions into different body types, such as extra-curvy, and by height. I'd definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants to dress better and has no idea where to start. Great for men and women!

The Girls, that is. Don't know who The Girls are? They have something to do with jackets and blouses, but that's all I'll say. Get this book! It's a hoot! The authors are the hosts of "What Not to Wear." They give fashion advice for the 26 very different bodies belonging to 18 women and 8 men. Clinton and Stacy make all of them look good. They will solve some of your own closet mysteries--like why you don't wear those fashionable low rise pants. Could it be the love handles? And what's the only body type that can carry off a boot-cut trouser? I'm not telling--you'll have to get the book!
