Helpful in parts

|
As a fan of T and S i bought this hoping it would advise me of the right styles for my shape which i must say that it did however the book is heavily padded out with other info which is not at all helpful if your not that shape. the part relevent to your own shape is only about 5 pages long and then the majority of the rest of the book is about all the other shapes. I'd recommend either borrowing this from the library and scanning the pages relevant to your shape for future ref or buying it from amazon then selling it on. it won't be a classic

A very very disappointed fan

I have been a T&S fan since they 've appeared on the horizon, and purchased all their upcoming books. HOWEVER this one is a total failure! Not only is confusing the 12 bodyshapes -none of my friends are able to identify themselves by it- but the advice given is wrong as well sometimes. They suggest wearing puffy sleeves /long shapeless knitted tunics with big boobes etc.Although there are more bodytypes identified nobody can fit in only one ! I can't even be bothered to look through the book! Don't waste your money ...

great advice if you fall neatly into a category

I really liked this book, the advice on what to wear and what to avoid is invaluable. The best part is the celebrity examples used, as you can copy them season after season, in the knowledge that what suits their body is likely to suit yours.
On the downside, I found myself to be difficult to categorise, (I'm either an hourglass, cello or skittle), and each body shape has different and sometimes conflicting advice so you cannot just blend the advice of several body shapes. (just in case your wondering.. broad shoulders, medium to large chest, small waist, big round bum, big hips, chunky thighs, shapely calves ? )

sensible & spot on

While T&S can be abrasive & dogmatic when it comes to their programmes & advice giving, it can be sensible and spot on. For the record I think I'm a cross between a goblet & hourglass and their recommendations for both shapes are making a difference in my wardrobe. Credit should also be given to their "Recycle your Wardrobe" section.

The best body shape yet!
|
I've bought a few books about dressing for your body shape but this one is definitely the best one. Their advice is spot on and definitely changed the way I view my body. Most body shape books break down body types to about 6 at best but this book goes further with not only a lot more body shapes and but also describes traits like leg proportion, neck length and bottom size.
It has changed the way I shop. I now walk straight passed all the gorgeous but wrong for me clothes - no matter how fab! I look for shape first, fabric and colour next. My "what was I thinking" shopping mistakes have disappeared and I'm now feeling a lot better about my body. Not bad for one book!
