Rating:  - Good Information......
The information is this book is really good. However, it is pretty funny that in the pictures of what you shouldn't wear the authors went to the trouble of posing in the worst possible posture (see page 80). I don't care what you have on, if you are standing as the author is on page 80, it will look bad. The pictures are pretty fun... not even a smile while posing for what you shouldn't wear. Overall, the book has good information and I recommend it.
Rating:  - wow this was terrible
my mother bought this for me as a gift, and she completely wasted her money. this book is AWFUL. the pictures are bad, the posing is terrible-- if you slouch and frown, you''ll look bad no matter what you're wearing! They should have used models who actually HAD saddlebags or flat chests or flabby tummies... maybe they just wanted to see their faces in print.
I cannot even express how awful this book was. I agree with one other reviewer-- I get MUCH more out of a copy of Vogue than I ever would from this book. And at a fraction of the cost...
Rating: - Confidence is the Key
The thing I like about this book, and all of Trinny and Susannah's books, is that they are written to help everywoman look her best. I like too that much of the material is geared toward the grown woman who wants to look grown, rather than like a teenager. They are real champions of a mature and classy look - almost harking back to the days when young women were looking forward to being adults, with sophistication of dress. The advice about shapes and colors is very helpful. I too give it four rather than 5 stars because I agree with some other reviews here that there may be some conflicting advice for conflicting "problem" areas - but they give us a start on pulling ourselves together.
Rating: - I don't know where to begin because this book is so bad!
Fist of all, I'll start off buy saying ladies, if you're 25 or under, this book is not for you!!!
Second, if you only identify with one or two attributes categorized in this book, this book will not help you very nuch, as you will only be looking at a maximum of 10 pages from the entire book. Plus, the help is so generic and limited. They only give you a list of 4 or 5 helpful cuts/lines/lengths, and a series of 4 or 5 stlyes/etc. to avoid. Well, I realized that there are FAR more stlyes/etc. in the world than 5, so if I go to the store and find something NOT mentioned in the book, how am I supposed to know if I can wear it or not!? Most books are designed to give you a starting point to further progress your fashion savvy conscious, but this book did no such thing. It was a dead end leaving you wondering what the heck you're supposed to do now. DON'T BUY THIS BOOK. EVEN IF YOU FOUND A $0.50 DEAL, IT'S NOT WORTH IT.
Rating:  - I am not buying what they are selling
I was extremely disappointed in this book. I love these kind of style advice books but this just left me feeling like I didn't learn a thing. Much of the advice was old hat, and some of it I just didn't even agree with like busty girls shouldn't wear turtlenecks - cmon! And it only addressed specific body areas rather than all over body types.
For my money Stacey and Clinton's book is the way to go. Haven't found one yet to rival theirs. And I guess I just like the way they seem to find beauty in all figure types and bring it out. I know Susannah and Trinny are British but their humor sometimes just borders on sheer viciousness. Counter-productive to raising people self-esteem.
