Editorial Review:
An illustrated guide for using clothes to overcome body challenges and create an individualized look and style.
For any woman who has a big butt, flat chest, large waist, thick ankles, unwieldy thighs, short legs, or a round belly, Style Rx is the prescription she needs. With more than 250 photographs and fifteen illustrative personal case studies, image and style consultant Bridgette Raes helps women to understand the unique proportions of their bodies, part by part, rather than classifying the female body into an impossible generic "type." She prescribes cuts, colors, and fabrics that make the most (or if necessary, the least) of what they have for their best possible look. With practical advice, a mix-andmatch approach, and an understanding of how to create balance, she helps tackle common body issues and finds clothes than can make women look and feel great-as simply as possible

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - IS GOOD TASTE NEEDED TO WRITE A STYLE BOOK?
This is a dishonest book. In the first section, where the author discusses how to handle specific body area issues the before and after pictures are not honest. The before pictures are posed to emphasize the flaw. The after pictures are shot from a slightly different angle, thereby making the *improvement* look much more effective than it really is.
My second issue with this book is how out-of-date it seems. About 3/4 of the way through I looked at the back of the title page. I was amazed ... Read More

This book had good information on dressing to look your best. The author was on target with body flaws and their remedies...the book was very aptly named. I liked the way that her book was organized. She points the reader in the right direction to visually correct figure flaws.
Three things that would have given this five stars. First, color photos. You have to use your imagination when looking through the section on color and pattern intensity because black and white photos just don't ... Read More
Rating:  - Style RX
This is an excellent book; for both reference and self-help. I strongly recommend this book for its very easy to use and extremely well organized.
Rating: - Fantastic!
This book is absolutely Fantastic! Me and my friends look at it all the time and love the before and after images! It is easy to read and understand! Myself, an aspiring Fashion Stylist enjoyed the explanations and details of how to create a different body image and the results shown in the tons of photos! I actually talked to the author, Bridgette Raes and she is a true inspiration with a given talent to help people. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has fashion questions or style questions!
Rating:  - You might learn a couple new things
First, I will admit that I am a style book junkie. I believe in learning as much as you can about style rules, style tips, fashion ideas, etc, and then creating your own style. Therefore, I already have a lot of style knowledge, but I am always looking for something new, some tip that makes a big difference, some real life stories that help me.
This book offers a couple small things that I have not learned elsewhere, but not much. The positives- it does cover from neck to feet. It has real-life pictures, ... Read More
