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:  - How can you not love this book?
Maybe you have to be quite a bit older than 25, and think if something looks bad on you it's your fault. But aren't there others out there like that? This book cured me of thinking it was my fault, and also of unflattering necklines, showed me which shapes were good, and got me out of wearing absolutely only black. I was so badly off that I did not know what Missoni was until they told me to look at Missoni's color sense. Almost no books like this have the 'older' (thirty plus) woman in their sights. I'd say this book was for the fashion-hopeless in that large age group, who would secretly like to have a bit more style. These women are funny and very british upper middle class, "Sloane Rangers" as they were once called, so you have to be able to take that, and have a bit of a sense of humor. Their follow up book is great too.
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.
