From Booklist
Host of ABC's Extreme Makeover, Saboura gleans through his various tips and tricks to offer any woman the best in style for any time in her life. Though much of the content is certainly similar to that which stems from other dress-well gurus--invest in a great tailor, build a basic wardrobe, accent with accessories--Saboura delivers it in a memorable and occasionally life-altering way. Take, for instance, his rendition of body types, whether apple or pear, rectangular or willowy; included are notes about best features, a "foolproof solutions" chart listing body issues like a flat-chest area with ready-made camouflage ideas, and "Sam Says," a series of sidebars with little-known recommendations for best wears/wares--all designed to make females feel their collective bests. Along with ramping up self-esteem, Saboura provides practices around shopping ("wear a white tank to shop"), closet clean outs ("always fold your knits"), and tailoring. It's good-better-best dressing, without losing the ubiquitous 20 pounds. Barbara Jacobs

Really Great
I love this style book. I think Sam does a great job of sticking to classics, and finding fashion tips that fit your body. There is nothing to trendy and everything makes sense for every day life.
I have had this book for about 2 years and I have referred to it often usually during change of seasons when I am looking for an update, and it never fails me.
Its simple and to the point.

Good book - could be better
This book did help me to get an idea of basics I should have in my closet to flatter my body type. However, it would have been much more helpful to me if in lieu of the sketches of women used as examples in inside the book, they used actual photos of women wearing clothing appropriate for each body type - like they do on the cover.

Not good for a beginner
I was looking for a basic book. You are this body shape and this is what you should wear. There were two pages of general info on each body shape, then the rest of the book was general advice. I was very disappointed.
