Product Description
An illustrated guide for using clothes to overcome body challenges and create an individualized look and style.
For any woman who has a big butt, flat chest, large waist, thick ankles, unwieldy thighs, short legs, or a round belly, Style Rx is the prescription she needs. With more than 250 photographs and fifteen illustrative personal case studies, image and style consultant Bridgette Raes helps women to understand the unique proportions of their bodies, part by part, rather than classifying the female body into an impossible generic "type." She prescribes cuts, colors, and fabrics that make the most (or if necessary, the least) of what they have for their best possible look. With practical advice, a mix-andmatch approach, and an understanding of how to create balance, she helps tackle common body issues and finds clothes than can make women look and feel great-as simply as possible

 You might learn a couple new things May 13, 2008
2 out of 4 found this review helpful
First, I will admit that I am a style book junkie. I believe in learning as much as you can about style rules, style tips, fashion ideas, etc, and then creating your own style. Therefore, I already have a lot of style knowledge, but I am always looking for something new, some tip that makes a big difference, some real life stories that help me.
This book offers a couple small things that I have not learned elsewhere, but not much. The positives- it does cover from neck to feet. It has real-life pictures, which may help you get the idea. The subjects are real-life people, not models (one I believe is a part-time model). The negative about the pictures- often the subject has her body or head positioned somewhat differently from one picture to the other, which makes as much difference to how she looks as the change in her clothing does (Oprah is the queen of this trick). Also, there are several pictures where I don't think the subject looks any better after using the style tip.
I went through this book quickly, and don't feel I learned enough to have made it worth ordering. If this is one of your first style books, you will learn something. However, there are many other books I would recommend over this one.

Big butt? Little butt? Short legs? Long waist? You, yes, YOU can find the solutions to your style problems. And they're all right here, in one volume.
There are many books on the market that offer advise on what to wear/what not to wear in order to camouflage one or more body "flaws". This book is head and shoulders above the rest. What sets this compendium apart is that each figure challenge is given its own chapter, thoroughly illustrated with before and after photos, and filled with pointers and tips for visually altering your appearance.
But wait, there's more! Ms. Raes includes a section of case studies, so you can see how to put all the advice to good use. This section is especially helpful for those who may feel overwhelmed by too much information.
My favorite part of the book, however, is the section on Balance and Harmony. Here you'll find information that is rarely discussed in other style books, or discussed in a way that is too complicated to put to use. Topics include necklines, movement, texture, and intensity. The photos illustrate these topics with clarity, so that anyone can easily understand and implement the ideas. The photos also show just how much of a difference just a slight change can make in one's appearance.
So, if you are looking for the one-stop-shop for figure enhancement wisdom, look no more. Style Rx will fix what ails you.

I was hoping for a book that addressed building a basic wardrobe as well as dressing to fit your body "flaws". Instead this book did exactly what it said it would -- it gives you advice on how to dress to mask your body "flaws". It is very good if that's all you want this book for, but don't expect anything else out of it.
Great book! February 17, 2008
