Publisher's Note
Rita Farro has a mission--to knock down fashion barriers for overweight women and strengthen their self esteem in the process. She wants women of all sizes to seize the day and develop their own best personal style. Her message, delivered with irreverence and humor, has helped her sell out lecture halls across the country. Color photos.

Industry Reviews
YA A welcome practical handbook. Overweight women have been trained to be ashamed of their size, hiding inside lumpy sweats and shapeless layers. This can be especially true for teenage girls, who will find scant support at the local mall. Well, "life is not a dress size," says Farro. Instead, careful attention to fit, style, and "that all-important vertical line" can help overcome the fashion barrier that encourages poor self-image. The author includes the usual chapters on body types and the styles that work best for each. A bonus sewing section provides a few simple patterns for garments and accessories, as well as valuable information on altering patterns for larger sizes. The author also includes important sections on attitude, self-esteem, and personal grooming. The book is well illustrated, though most of the models are clearly adult women. Nevertheless, the format and tone will appeal to teens who can benefit from Farro's exuberant and humorous approach to this closet problem. Robin Deffendall, Prince William Public Library System, VA
