Average Rating: Rating: - Diverting and fun but no real news here I'm a fan of the U.S. version of WNTW (never had BBC America to see the Brit version). I really like the concept of eliminating certain clothing types and shapes based on what you want to conceal and emphasize. And I enjoyed leafing through this book (which took maybe 45 min. to an hour for the whole thing). But it is not exactly packed with ah-ha moments. Much of it is common sense. In a couple of instances (such as Susannah wearing the black halter dress) I felt the "bad" picture was better than the "best" one (in that case, she had a jarringly ugly orange patterned dress on in the "best" page). The best advice is to listen to the rules, review your own wardrobe for what works and what doesn't and then break the rules, where it makes sense. One potentially serious flaw here: They have no advice for how to coordinate dressing for a number of different trouble spots, such as short neck *and* big breasts *and* big arms. It's hard to decipher how to merge all the advice into a flattering outfit. Rating: - Great primer for your most flattering looks! Buy this book! You'll use it again and again. Mostly good advice for maximizing your figure while hiding its flaws. Hard to believe it when you look at Trinny, but she does have a few figure flaws which the book points out. I think that's reassuring for the audience to realize that there really isn't a perfect figure, she is just working with what she has. I recommend this book but I do have a few cautions: As one of the other posters mentioned, many of the shops they recommend are in the UK, although with a little effort you can locate some of those same shops here in the states (Club Monaco for example). Also they really slam high waisted pants, completely ignoring the fact that those of us who have shorter legs long for the day when highwaisted pants are back in vogue. People face it, unless you are super skinny and long legged no one should wear low-riders. Least of all the person who made them famous... Rating: - Don't listen to them...it's the best!!! They are the best...this book is the best...if everyone had this book, I think they'd all look and feel much better!! Watch the show as well, if you haven't!
