Hi...
A while ago there was a question about how one should choose clothes to emphasize the right parts, while de-emphasizing the masculine traits of: big hands, broad shoulders, thick neck, heavy ankles, etc. Since then I have found my copy of the book that answers it all! "Flatter your Figure", by Jan Larkey, 1991 is an absolute bible of how to dress. She tells how to analyze your own figure, giving codes to those areas that are either problems or assets. Then there is a graphic section describing necklines, hemlines, skirt shapes, pants, sleeves, shoes, and anything else that affect how you look when you dress - even colors and fabric patterns! It goes on to tell which figure attributes can be emphasized or diminished, depending on the style you choose.
When I got the book, I studied it thoroughly, and have had no trouble feeling good about the way I look every time I dress. In drab I look like a fat old guy, but I have no trouble passing as a chic, confident woman when dressed! Once you have mastered her suggestions, you can develop your own style, but her hints are invaluable to any woman wanting to choose clothes to look her best.
Has anybody else used this fabulous manual?
