Product Description:
A celebrity fashion designer gives every woman the red-carpet treatment in this foolproof guide to choosing clothes that make you look fabulous—with tailor-made tips for forty- eight body types.

From Oprah to Eva Longoria, top L.A. designer Bradley Bayou has dressed women of all shapes and sizes and knows that every woman has her own natural combination of silhouette shape, height, and weight. Style is not about fitting into the size you think is sexy, it is about picking clothes that fit your body correctly and that create balance.

In The Science of Sexy, Bayou helps readers identify their silhouette shape (triangle, inverted triangle, rectangle, or hourglass) and combines that information with a height/weight chart to determine which of the forty-eight “fitting rooms” to go to in the book. Each fitting room has Bradley’s specific advice on the clothes and accessories to wear and avoid, and how to create balance using color, scale, proportions, and fabric.

Rating : - Every women's MUST HAVE !
This book is definitely a must-have for every woman.

From here, you will be able to correctly define your body shape and size:

1) measure your shoulder, bust, waist, hip (it teaches you to do so correctly) to calculate your proportions and define your SHAPE. You will find out whether you are a Triangle, Inverted Triangle, Rectangle or Hourglass;
2) use the relationship between your height and weight to define whether you are slender, average, plus or double plus;
3) then your height alone to define if you are petite, tall or something in between.

Once you know all of the above, then you will be invited into your particular dressing room (there're 48 of them in the book) and find out exactly what types of tops, skirts, pants, dreses, jackets, coats, shoes and accessories are most flattering on you, as well as what you shoud avoid. It also identifies a celebrity for each fitting room for your reference.

There are only 4 pages devoted to each fitting room (body shape), but there is so much useful information and it is almost all you need to build your entire wardrobe! These 4 pages of information is invaluable!

You can always use the information in the other fitting rooms to help the ones you care, like your best friends, your mother, your sisters, your daughers etc...

The book aslo gives other advice on:
1) the fundamental pieces in your wardrobe;
2) answer a few questions in order to define your style of sexy;
3) the Dress Sexy Ten Commandments: the rules that apply to every women, all shapes and sizes (here you will also find out about how to tell if a piece is well made and good quality).

This is the best book on the subject! I definitely recommend it.
