I've seen the show "What Not To Wear" (starring the authors) and when I heard about this book I thought it would be a fun and informative read - and it was. I got it from the library rather than investing in it - it's not a book I'll use as a reference. It's more like an extended magazine article, almost a guilty pleasure though I justified reading it as research. Lots of helpful information on basic do's and don'ts to make the most of your best assets by choosing the cut, style, length, color, etc. Samples of 26(!) different body types (both men and women), with a variety of occasions: work, weekend, evening.

If I were posed with the question to reread Dress Your Best or gouge my eyes out with a rusty spoon i would seriously consider the latter. Dress Your Best was a 256 page book entirely about how to dress up different body types for different occasions a topic that could have easily been summed up in 2 pages. This novel takes everything terrible out of an informational book its long and tedious pages that seem to last an eternity except with none of the benefit of actually learning anything useful. It was by far the worst book I have ever layed my eyes on. It had all the qualities I hate in books including being unnecessarily long,bland, extremely repetitive and just flat out boring. All in all I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys making themselves miserable. ( )

One of my favorite shows is TLC's What Not to Wear and I was excited when I heard that a book based on the show was coming out. When I first saw the book, I thought that it would provide the type of in depth information which was done on the show.However, after reading the book, I was both wrong and right. While the book does a great job in reflecting the different types of body types, it falls short in reference to fully describing the different types of clothes when in different situations. Although it does mention what you should wear to work, on the weekend, and evening wear, I feel it would be more helpful to the reader if there was more examples provided like maybe swimsuits for women for example. Although the book provided lots of advice and fashion terms, it may have confused someone who doesn't know much about fashion. With that being said,I really appreciated the fact that there was a glossary in the back with pictures to help the reader. Overall, it was a very good book but for the amount of attention given to each body type, you might be better off going to the library, checking out the book, and making a copy rather than actually buying the book.
