Customer Reviews

Gorgeous Book!
I really love this book, it's in a great format with loads of good information and the fact that it isn't chock full of models helps too.. Lots of drawings of clothes makes it feels as if this book will last, it won't be totally dated in a year. Gives you help on what to wear with what, necessary items of clothing to buy, tips on combinations you mightn't have thought of and so on. Covers everything, if you ask me! I will definitely be referring to this when I'm redoing my sad wardrobe. :)

A MUST for all girls!!
This book is fantastic! Very colourful, descriptive 14 chapters (with soooo many pictures) covering each garment such as skirts, shoes, jeans and jackets. Provides fit and styling tips, the best type of garment suited for each body type, what kind of garments they suggest you to have in your closet and how to wear a specific garment in soooo many different ways-e.g. for evening and daytime. It also contains further sections such as 'rules for shopping' and how to take care of your clothes. So easy to read and refer back to. This is perfect for everyone (and at all ages) who loves shopping!!

Inspiring
"Building and improving yor wardrobe piece by piece" - it does just that. There's a chapter on each garment covering everything from styles available, fit and styling tips, how not to wear it and what to pair it up with.

It also inspires you to be creative by showing obvious combinations and then something more unusual which gives you a fresh look at your existing wardrobe.

What I particularly like is that it doesn't have a formulaic "how to dress for your shape" approach, but it guides you to finding your own style and individuality whilst steering you away from possible pitfalls.
