Maybe it was all those accents and seeing how the Brits live. And I learned a lot. I had to get used to Stacy and Clinton, and I agree Shiny, Clinton is pretty adorable, great style. I kind of miss Trinny and Susannah's show! And I found both S &#38; C and T &#38;S first books really helpful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-it-just-me#post-41812 Mon, 05 Jan 2009 03:39:34 +0000 shiny 41812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, Maya, while I see your point about that particular link, overall, I loved the T&#38;S book. It was a real eye-opener for me! It explained to me why all the clothes that look fab on my pear-shaped VFBF, sister, mother, and other friends looks so horrible on me... and vice versa. </p> <p>As for WNTW, I will always be a fan of that show - even if they spurn us over-40s and sometimes their clothes aren't practical. I adore Clinton in particular. And, I credit that show for making more Americans care about what they wear. (of course, S&#38;C would probably ban my Uggs... but I still love the show!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-it-just-me#post-41810 Mon, 05 Jan 2009 03:24:53 +0000 Maya 41810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've never seen it either Nicole. I didn't really care for the outfits they created in their book so I'm curious to see what the people on the show come out like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-it-just-me#post-41803 Mon, 05 Jan 2009 02:56:58 +0000 Nicole 41803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I didn't realize that WAS Trinny! Egad! I have never seen their show. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-it-just-me#post-41794 Mon, 05 Jan 2009 02:05:42 +0000 Maya 41794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a lot of issues regarding the US version of WNTW: mainly that as stylish as the outfits are, they just have no basis in the reality of how those women actually live. I could even overlook the uniformy nature of them if they were somewhat practical. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-it-just-me#post-41783 Mon, 05 Jan 2009 01:23:26 +0000 Angie 41783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awful. The worst thing about Trinny is that she NEVER wears a bra. She's small busted, but to go braless is unstylish. Utter train smash. </p> <p>But I have to give credit where its due, their shows do a great job of the women they make over, often better than Stacey and Clintons makeovers (sorry ladies). They add more spunk and personality to the outfits. Also, S&#38; C’s show does not take woman over the age of 40. Absurd! My favourite makeover show ever was the one that Trinny and Susannah did for a couple of 70+ woman. KILLER. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-it-just-me#post-41762 Sun, 04 Jan 2009 23:07:41 +0000 Ana 41762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I personally like large prints and soft fabric, so I think the first dress is fine. I don't really like the color or that print, but the shape of the dress is one I would definitely wear, and I don't think her bum looks big in either dress. The second dress is not flattering on her at all. I like how it says, "Gives a controlled yet sexily displayed outline." "Displayed" being the operative work here. Forgot your knickers there, Trinny? And I can't really see how it controls anything--it looks like it's made of loose chain mail. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-it-just-me#post-41748 Sun, 04 Jan 2009 21:48:09 +0000 Laura 41748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Trinny is ridiculous! Those two are more entertainers than anything, if you ask me - a la Stacey and Clinton. </p> <p>Well, it sells books ... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-it-just-me#post-41746 Sun, 04 Jan 2009 21:32:19 +0000 Nicole 41746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG...that is sad. The model looks sickly in that second dress. The color and the shape do absolutely nothing for her slim body.</p> <p>Also, I couldn't help but notice that the model is standing in different positions, which defeats the purpose of comparing the two dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-it-just-me#post-41740 Sun, 04 Jan 2009 20:40:05 +0000 Kyle 41740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya, you are so right. Labeling that the "Best Dress" is downright depressing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-it-just-me#post-41735 Sun, 04 Jan 2009 20:09:44 +0000 Maya 41735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always wanted to ask about this but didn't have a visual in hand. But I think Joy posted the website and I managed to dig it up.</p> <p>This is the picture that made me put the Trinny and Susannah book down and never turn back:</p> <p><a href="http://www.trinnyandsusannah.com/rules/bigbum/dress" rel="nofollow">http://www.trinnyandsusannah.c.....gbum/dress</a></p> <p>She looks like she is wearing bubble wrap in the second picture! It doesn't just look sheer, it looks transparent. I was quite appalled when I saw it. Not only does it leave nothing to the imagination, it also fits her very poorly at the bust. I am not nuts about the "worst" dress but I think it's a lot better than the bubble wrap thing. In fact, I think the fit seems fine. I just don't care for the print.</p> <p>Am I alone on this? I just can't believe they ever let this go to print. </p>
