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

 A Must Read for ALL Women January 8, 2008
28 out of 33 found this review helpful
In 2005 my wardrobe was a jumble - full of clothes yet I had "nothing to wear." I was dissatisfied with how I dressed and how I looked. I needed help. I found Bridgette Raes here in NYC and hired her as a personal style consultant. Each consulting dollars I paid Bridgette Raes was money well spent. The most valuable lesson I learned from Bridgette was how to dress my body. The reality is we are all built differently and not all clothing styles look good on all women. She fully understands women 's struggles finding clothes that "fit right" and "look good". I can personally testify that her advice helps -- and so can my friends, a number of whom became clients, too. No matter what size, shape or age you are, Bridgette's book is invaluable. The book sums it all up and helps deal with problem areas -- instead of hiding from them! Bridgette Raes empowered me. This book will empower you!
THE ONLY STYLE PRESCRIPTION YOU WILL EVER NEED!! January 2, 2008

Finally, someone wrote a book that every woman can relate to. I was so tired of picking up books that taught me how to dress my body, but were full of text and drawings that I couldn't relate to. The author doesn't tell you how to do it, she SHOWS you. It is about time that someone represented real women in a way that is not only empowering, but celebrates how diverse we are. Wait until Oprah gets her hands on this book! Bridgette Raes is definitely putting a refreshing perspective on how we view our bodies. This book reminds me of the awesome DOVE `real women, real beauty' campaign.
Real and practical advice for real people with real bodies February 8, 2008
21 out of 21 found this review helpful
Wow! I enjoyed this book much more than I thought I would! If nothing else, the chapter on big calves made it a worthwhile purchase. While I'm slender all over, I inherited my mother's very large calves and hefty ankles.
In addition to good, practical advice using photos of women who look like "real" people, not models or emaciated, moisturized skeletons, the author is very body positive. You are never made to feel bad about any body part, rather you are well educated on how to look your very best-which in turn will make you feel your best. All in all, a great feedback loop.
I recommend this book to any woman of any age and body type. I read all the chapters and really got a lot out of every page. The book is worth every penny, much more so than "How Not To Look Old..."
Now, if only I lived in NYC and could have a personal consultation with the author...
The Only Book You Need for Dressing Your Body!!!!!!!! January 2, 2008
19 out of 20 found this review helpful
WOW! Throw out your other 'dress your body' books because this is the only one you will ever need!!! What's great about STYLE Rx is the amount of photography of real women with REAL bodies! For the first time ever, I was able to relate to the models in the photographs. The advice was incredibly simple and easy to apply. Bridgette Raes knows what she is doing and I appreciate that she not only speaks from experience, but has built a business helping women (like you and me) transform thier wardrobe and style. Her writing is lighthearted (she is hysterical) and approachable, while at the same time being extremely knowledgeable. I will definitely be able to create the body I want with the body I have with the help of Style Rx! Thank you Bridgette for showing us all how to embrace and dress our bodies in an empowering manner.
A must-have for all women January 2, 2008

I am so glad I stumbled upon this book this morning. The shocking pink cover dress me to pick it up. After scanning the book, I realized this is a must-have! I got home and couldn't wait to read through it...thankfully with the amount of photos and practical advice, it was a quick and easy read, but don't let the simplicity fool you...it is chock full of extremely smart and useful tips to make every woman make better choices with their wardrobe. Highly recommend you pick up your own copy...it will be a staple as you get ready for work, outings, formal events and dates. And because it is so simple to use, it is a great reference that you'll keep near your closet rather than on your bookshelf collecting dust.
