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

Style RX:
I didn't really care for it. I thought alot of the models looked better before.
A huge help in picking out clothes.:
This book gave me so many ideas on what styles to avoid for my body shape -- and which ones to look for. It has made shopping for clothes a lot easier. I don't even look at those things that are not best for my body.
IS GOOD TASTE NEEDED TO WRITE A STYLE BOOK?:
This is a dishonest book. In the first section, where the author discusses how to handle specific body area issues the before and after pictures are not honest. The before pictures are posed to emphasize the flaw. The after pictures are shot from a slightly different angle, thereby making the *improvement* look much more effective than it really is.
My second issue with this book is how out-of-date it seems. About 3/4 of the way through I looked at the back of the title page. I was amazed to see this... more info
Mixed feelings:
This book had good information on dressing to look your best. The author was on target with body flaws and their remedies...the book was very aptly named. I liked the way that her book was organized. She points the reader in the right direction to visually correct figure flaws. Three things that would have given this five stars. First, color photos. You have to use your imagination when looking through the section on color and pattern intensity because black and white photos just don't do it justice.... more info
