Product Description

WHICH BODY SHAPE ARE YOU? A Skittle, Goblet, Hourglass, Cornet, Cello, Apple, Column, Bell, Vase, Brick, Lollipop or a Pear.... Trinny & Susannah have identified 12 classic women's body shapes. In each case, it is proportion, not size, that matters. So whether you are a skinny, average or larger Skittle, Cello, Apple or Pear, the same principles of dressing will apply. Using real-life women, they analyse in depth each shape and show how to choose the clothes that fit and flatter it. They show the most common dressing mistakes and the three best looks. They select the 10 key garments to make up a capsule wardrobe, and show how these basics can be built upon to vary the look. And they show how to make the most of what you already have: what you can do with an ill-fitting or expensive mistake to bring it back to life. It includes Trinny & Susannah's fabulous 22 city directory of shops, outlets and services and other must-have addresses across the UK.

Helpful in parts
As a fan of T and S i bought this hoping it would advise me of the right styles for my shape which i must say that it did however the book is heavily padded out with other info which is not at all helpful if your not that shape. the part relevent to your own shape is only about 5 pages long and then the majority of the rest of the book is about all the other shapes. I'd recommend either borrowing this from the library and scanning the pages relevant to your shape for future ref or buying it from amazon then selling it on. it won't be a classic

A very very disappointed fan
I have been a T&S fan since they 've appeared on the horizon, and purchased all their upcoming books. HOWEVER this one is a total failure! Not only is confusing the 12 bodyshapes -none of my friends are able to identify themselves by it- but the advice given is wrong as well sometimes. They suggest wearing puffy sleeves /long shapeless knitted tunics with big boobes etc.Although there are more bodytypes identified nobody can fit in only one ! I can't even be bothered to look through the book! Don't waste your money ...

great advice if you fall neatly into a category
I really liked this book, the advice on what to wear and what to avoid is invaluable. The best part is the celebrity examples used, as you can copy them season after season, in the knowledge that what suits their body is likely to suit yours.

On the downside, I found myself to be difficult to categorise, (I'm either an hourglass, cello or skittle), and each body shape has different and sometimes conflicting advice so you cannot just blend the advice of several body shapes. (just in case your wondering.. broad shoulders, medium to large chest, small waist, big round bum, big hips, chunky thighs, shapely calves ? )
