Do you ever think that fashion designers are conspiring against you? Do you ever wonder why it seems so hard to find a single pair of jeans that fit properly, and look good? When your grandmother was our age, she either made her own clothes or very often, had them made specifically for her body. Now, fashion designers are burdened with the task of trying to make clothes for the rack that look great on everyone. It is an impossible feat.

The remedy for this malady is Bridgette Raes' Style RX: Dressing the Body You Have to Create the Body You Want. With over 250 photographs and fifteen illustrative personal case studies, she doesn't tell, but shows you how to dress more flattering for your body type. Bridgette gives us the magic formula for why one particular neckline makes you look 4' tall and another makes you look long and lean. This wonderful resource helps you understand the proportions of your body, part-by-part, instead of classifying your entire body into a fruit shape such as "the pear".

Style RX features:

• A simple four-part strategy for addressing twenty-four commonly found body issues, from broad shoulders and wide thighs, to flat chests and big butts.
• Easy rules on choosing the most suitable prints, patterns, necklines and textures for individualized body types.
• Fifteen complete body makeovers of real women with real bodies.

Style RX not only shows you how to look beautiful, but also saves you valuable time. You will learn the skills you need to pick up clothes right off the rack that look great on you instead of trying on 20 items and hoping just one will look reasonable. At just $15.95, consider this book a valuable investment.
