There are some things in this book that I've read elsewhere but it takes it much further. Dress Me Now offered me an opportunity I've never had before - to understand not just how to dress my peculiar body shape but how to feel good, as a woman, about what I'm wearing. It's also quite amusing in the way it's written. Not a fancy book (the illustrations are pretty simple) but downright practical and worth it. What I also like is that I can get follow up articles and ask questions on the authors' website. A look good - feel good addition to my bookshelves and my wardrobe.
The Search Is Over

Believe me, I've read dozens of books trying to find out what to do with this awkward body shape of mine and, until I found this book, none were helpful. This book answered all my questions and made me feel good about myself. It's not for super-models, in fact, they probably won't like it or understand it. The book is written with great love and humor for the rest of us, the ones with bodies that no amount of airbrushing will help. Thank you to the authors.
ALL THE ADVICE I EVER NEEDED
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Every day dressing was a nightmare for me. I needed help not only with what to wear but how to wear it and sometimes even when to wear it. These ladies have taken every aspect of getting it together and simplified it for me. They even helped me with some self-image issues which was a nice surprise. My friend borrowed it and now I can't get it back.
Best Makeover Book I've Read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
This book is great. It showed me how to accept my body shape as beautiful no matter what the outer shape is and how to take control of dressing it for best results. It gave me simple information on using what I already have in my closet to be the best me possible. It won't suit high fashion freaks interested in super thin model looks. This book is for the rest of us - real women.
IT'S ABOUT TIME

WELL, IT'S ABOUT TIME THAT SOMEONE WROTE A BOOK THAT APPLAUDED ALL BODY TYPES AND MADE YOU FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOURS. THE INFORMATION IN THIS BOOK IS INVALUABLE. YOU REALIZE IMMEDIATELY THAT IT IS NOT THE USUAL FASHION RIGHTS AND WRONGS KIND OF BOOK. IT DOES NOT PANDER TO THE SUPPOSEDLY PERFECT FIGURES, BUT GIVES BOTH THE PHYSIOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL BEGINNINGS OF THE DIFFERENT BODY SHAPES FOUND IN ETHNIC GROUPS. IT MAKES YOU WANT TO SHOW OFF THOSE ATTRIBUTES(PREVIOUSLY CONSIDERED SOMETHING TO CAMOUFLAGE)THAT YOU TRIED TO HIDE UP UNTIL READING THIS INFORMATIVE AND MORE THEN A LITTLE BIT HUMOROUS BOOK.ALL I CAN SAY TO THE AUTHORS IS "THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME BE MYSELF-----AGAIN".
