Summary: I didn't like this book much, but I gave it 3 stars because:
Comment: 1. The authors acknowledged that not all women can wear the "Survival Kit" products to work - some women work in environments where cotton/lycra stretch fabric doesn't cut it. I thought this was very honest of the authors.

2. THANK GOD they pointed out that overalls are a bad idea for anyone over 5'7" Not that I think they are such a great idea for anyone under 5'7", but I guess you have to start somewhere! And, of course, I guess it depends upon your age and where you live as well.

On the other hand...

1. Patterned hose are a bad idea on anyone, much less a pregnant woman.

2. Ditto blue shoes with a black outfit.

Overall, I thought the book was very unambitious. Instead of containing hard to follow advice from exacting New York City fashion sophisticates (i.e. a standard to strive for), it mostly contained advice on how to stretch a wardrobe (i.e. use stuff you already own). If you can't figure out how to do that on your own, you should buy this book. But I think most women would do just as well without it.

Summary: Great Fashion Advice
Comment: I bought this book for a friend of mine who, when telling me about her wonderful "I'm Pregnant!" news, she followed up with a quick, "Help! I need fashion advice. I don't want to be in sailor dresses for 9 months!" Before giving her this book, I read it and LOVED IT! For those of us who are NOT pregnant, but actually looking forward to it someday, but who are also turned off by the maternity clothes we have seen, this is a true find. As the authors say, why wear something when you are pregnant that you wouldn't ever wear when you are NOT pregnant! I think that it's time for pregnant women to feel GOOD and BEAUTIFUL while they are pregnant and to even be sexy when they want to! Stop hiding under baggy, oversized clothing and be proud! This books gives you great tips on how to be fashionable while your body seems out of control.

Summary: please spare me!
Comment: If you can dress yourself pre-pregnancy, You don't need this book. Any fashion magazine or maternity catalog will help you pick out your own clothes pregnant or not.
