Title: Does This Make Me Look Fat? : The Definitive Rules for Dressing Thin for Every Height, Size, and Shape by Leah Feldon ISBN: 0-375-50361-7 Publisher: Villard Pub. Date: 30 May, 2000 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $24.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.25 (28 reviews)
Rating: 3
Summary: Helpful . . . to a certain degree
Comment: I found this book completely unhelpful, since I'm a teenager and the fashion tips Ms. Feldon gives are obviously for women over the age of at least forty. Maybe it's helpful for them, but teens, don't buy this one ;)

Summary: Because guys don't want to look fat either
Comment: I am far from fat, but also far from "fashionable" looking. That said, I got a copy of this book at my local library. Thankfully, most of the information and general concepts apply to men's and women's fashions alike. In years to come, I hope people would evolve beyond the limitations of prescribed "genders" and would just be wearing "clothes." This is however, not how Leah Feldon wrote this book, as it is aimed towards women, with many a female celebrity and quotes cited for examples. There is one token chapter for men's fashions towards the end (the author assumse that you, dear reader, as a woman, will be dressing your man because he is incompetent), and a final chapter on shopping tips and organizing your clothes.
The book is a no nonsense look at quick and dirty fashion tips. She emphasizes wearing black too much though, and needed more and better information about colors, prints, patterns, fabrics, textures, matching and coordinating them. Also, I was hoping there would be information about what to look for in "high quality" clothes, since she does prescribe to the theory "you get what you pay for."
Still, these shortcomings should not stop you (man or woman) from at least borrowing this book from the library, or buying a used copy as a reference.

Summary: Great book
Comment: Leah Feldon's rules for slimming attire are wonderful. I have already made several changes in my wardrobe after reading this book and have noticed the difference in my appearance. Now if I could only lose those pesky 10 pounds...
