[April · Rating 3 out of 5]

It had great potential but is a bit out of date (okay, quite a bit out of date) and while it is encouraging in how often the refrain of dressing well no matter your size is repeated; there is a lot of talk about showing off "assets" which always end up amounting to those bits of your body that is skinniest. Maybe best for someone just getting word of this whole concept of dressing for fit and comfort and not worrying about the pant size number. Though, again, many of the suggested styles are not as "classic" as the author believed them to have been when it was written in 1996!

Book recommended by someone else. Thought I might give the book a try.
