Rating:
Summary: Excellent overview
Review: As a business providing training and products in the image and fashion industry, I have sold over 2000 of these books. I have used it in seminars of 10 - 500. Women love this books philosophy on how valuable women are, how to break through the myths of fashion and value their own bodies shape and how to recognize styles that create their own fashion message. I recommend this book to all women. Grab a couple of friends, go through this workbook style book and transform your esteem and your style.

Summary: Figure Out Your Figure
Review: I bought 5 books on improving my looks. This one is the best of the five because it tells you how to figure out what figure you have. Jan Larkey warns you that the "flaws" you have had all your life, may not be flaws at all! A wonderful uplifting book, that puts the power to improve in your hands.

Review: It looks simple, and it is simple, but a lot of work has gone into this system for discovering your proportions and how to dress to flatter. Unique. I've used the method with clients to great effect.

Summary: Read this book and improve your look
Review: No book is perfect but do not miss this book based on a few flaws. This is the best book for finding clothes that will look wonderful on you.

Yes the models are older and the photos are a little dated but the real meat of the book is timeless. I sew my own clothing and with this book I now know which patterns will never ever look good on me. I have saved so much time and money with this book.

I read it through and then went shopping using my new knowledge. I could only find two tops that the book told me would look good, and indeed they did and I went home with them. It was a pleasant change from trying on every thing that caught my eye until I found something that I looked good in. I even tried a few things the book said I would look lousy in, and yes I did look lousy.

This is a wonderful book. I've tried lots of other books to make yourself look better, like the HOAX system. This book is the very best. It tells you all the little details will make you look your best. It even covers little things like which cuffs will look good on you.

I recommend this book highly.

Summary: Great, but a bit out of date
Review: This book has some great basic info about the shapes and styles of clothing that look best on your figure. However, it was written ten years ago and a number of the "classic" styles included are not found anymore. The book also seems to be geared (style-wise)towards creating a flattering but matronly look. Figure-challenges occur at all ages, not just in women over 50. An updated version of the book would be most helpful.
