Summary: The best fashion book I've ever owned!
Comment: Hurrah! Stacy and Clinton have given us a way to take them with us whenever we go shopping! I was browsing in the bookstore not too long ago and lo and behold, there was Dress Your Best, right next to What Not to Wear, by Trinny and Susanna. I must confess I have to agree with the previous reviewer, Stacy and Clinton did a superior job, especially by using real women (and men!) as models for the different body types. When I need to get my wardrobe staples, Dress Your Best goes with me, to make sure I get the right style pants, shirts and dresses, as well as outerwear and underpinnings. The weekly show shows me what trends are workable on my body type and how to work them into my wardrobe as well, without spending a ton. My mother complains I'll never be on the show, because I'm always put together so well! Thank you, thank you Stacy and Clinton for putting together such a wonderful, helpful book and showing us that everybody can be sexy and sophisticated no matter what our size or body shape. I hope your show will be on for years to come, and I hope you'll write another book.

Summary: About four useful pages
Comment: As the description says the book includes advice for several different body types. The problem this causes is that there are only about four pages per type (eight if you include the full page pictures). The pages that are there don't really have much to them.
There were some other pages with some generic content but there really isn't any true substance to this book, save your money and time (most of your time will be returning it)

Summary: Incompleto
Comment: Sinceramente no me gustó, a pesar que soy fanatica del programa, y a mi parecer el programa es bastante bueno, sin embargo el libro no lo es, las recomendaciones no me parecen acertadas en algunos tipos de cuerpo, además busqué el mio y solo puedes aprovechar 3 paginas, no más, las combinaciones y las propuestas no me gustaron, si quieres un libro de estilismo y con buen gusto recomiendo mejor alguno de los libros de Trinny & Susannah.

Summary: It is ok...
Comment: This book features many real people with different body shapes (men and women), and shows you how they should dress for work, casual and formal. The good thing about it is that it photographs real people instead of using drawings, however this is also one of its limitations.
It is most likely that the reader, no matter much how closely she/he can identify with one of the models in the book, her/his body shape is still very different from that model! Myself for example, I am a petite, I am an hourglass shape (with shoulders and bottom same measurement, bust slightly smaller and a well-defined waist) and a size 0. The "matching" models would be either 1) Petite, Curvy, who is a size 6 to 8; or 2) a Petit, not curvy, who is a size 0 but a complete rectangle without curves...
There isn't much information given to each body shape either. Although it gives you reasons for why a model is dressed such ways, it does not state alternatives. For example, it says that you should wear cap sleeve to make your shoulders look broader, but it does not say what other sleeves you can wear; or it says as a petite size 0 (not curvy), you should wear white matching suit for work (as opposed to black) to increase impact, but it does not say what shapes of jackets, skirts or pants you can wear, and what colors other than white.
In conclusion, I will suggest "The Science of Sexy" by Bradley Bayou (see my other review). It is the best of the best!
