Utopia Model Agency co-founder Demeatria Gibson Boccella raves about a book that she says is the best resource for anyone wanting to look great through smarter clothing choices. "What Not to Wear" by Trinny Woodall and Susannah Constantine, regular-girl style mavens from BBC's television show of the same name, dispenses witty and wise advice for women, broken down into categories that address each problem body part. "I'm constantly amazed at the people who use it as a resource," Gibson Boccella says. "I highly recommend that book. It's amazing how different you can look when you buy something appropriate for your size." Woodall and Constantine's book offers plenty of photos of each woman modeling clothing -- both good and bad -- so the difference in styles and their resulting look are made perfectly clear. Their approach is so amusing -- and so honest -- that the book is entertaining to read, even if you're perusing sections that don't apply to your particular trouble spots. A few pieces of advice from "What Not to Wear": Why a sleeveless shift is a bad idea for women with big arms: "People will wonder how that gargantuan mass of flesh managed to squeeze through the armhole." Why a straight skirt is a bad idea for women with a large behind: "Hangs unattractively from arse, making your thighs look wide and calves like little pins emerging from the Lincoln Tunnel." Why a clingy T-shirt is a bad idea for women with a flabby tummy: "There is nothing worse than a too-tight bra strap being shown slicing through excess fatty tissue in a spray-on T-shirt. Added to this, a front view of rippling flab dribbling down one's side is enough to make Samson want to remain blind." A good choice of pants for a flabby tummy: "Low-waisted jeans one size too big. ... These hang loose around your waist, making it look like the jeans are too big for your embarrassing secret." A good choice of a sweater for women with saddlebags: "One that fits snugly and sits at the top of the hips. ... Clean, excess-fabric-free lines keep you slim atop, whilst a hem length that stops before the hips serves to reduce the waist to the extent that no one gives a toss about those bags." Best neckline for a short neck: "Wide scoop ... reveals more of the shoulders, which, when pushed down by good posture, makes the neck longer and more elegant."
