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!

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 do it justice. Second, thicker pages. I could read the print on the next page without actually turning. Third, some of the before pictures of these women actually looked better than the after. Particularly, I found this true toward the end of the book when all of the models were in white t-shirts and jeans in their "before" pic. Many of them (though certainly not all) looked classier in the jeans than the final outfits that were supposedly correcting figure flaws!!! Personally, I like a classy look, and the author sometimes clothed the models in more trendy, less-than-appealing clothing.

All in all, my daughter and I both enjoyed this read, laughing together at some of the author's humorous views.

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
