Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating: - Shaping Individual Style
Pros:
* Very practical tips for most shapes of women
* Great illustrations to highlight points
* Left me wanting more information on good styles for
my body shape
Cons:
* Too general - I'd prefer to buy a book on only my body shape
* The directory at the back is mainly London centred. It would be
preferrable to have local shops inserted for countries of purchase.
Rating: - For laughs only....
What medication were they on when they compiled this book? I love their show, and have enjoyed some of their other books, but this one is over the top silly. If you're looking for "What to Wear to Clown School", this is the book! Swarms of butterflies swirling over your head for a wedding? You must be kidding. If you're curious, I'd hit the local library, there's a reason these books are selling for a penny here. I never give bad reviews and I adore these two women, but there is little of practical ...

Rating: - Somewhat Useful
I thought that this book was sort of useful in some sections, but others did not fit my lifestyle at all and some of the good ideas seemed to reveal too much to me (wearing a suit jacket with no shirt.) That sort of exposure is considered inappropriate in the circles I run in.
Rating: - Quite a let-down
I've enjoyed Trinny and Susannah's other books and picked up quite a few tips from those, but this book has me shaking my head. Worst is the career-dressing advice: it might be fine if you've got an entry-level position, but if you're at a managerial or professional level, forget it!
For one thing, Trinny and Susannah seem to have a strong allergy to suits or, for that matter, any clothes that are conservative or classic. Well, trendy doesn't work for everybody, and it doesn't work all the time. Some ... Read More
Rating: - Not what I expected
Perhaps it is because the show is UK based but I was taken aback by some of the after pictures. Alot of dresses over pants and very outlandish hats are shown as do's.
Some of the befores don't look too bad other than the dated 80's look which I think we all know not to wear. I would have preferred more tips on handling body types rather than the obvious no's. They put in some really sloppy don'ts which aren't much help unless people in London are really walking around like that. We need more ... Read More
