    About this ebook

    Susan Moses, the go-to celebrity stylist for curvy women both on and off the red carpet presents the first inspirational, confidence-building, prescriptive style guide for plus-size women who want to dress fashionably and look their beautiful best.

    Nearly two-thirds of American women are plus-size—and they care just as much about fashion and beauty as their thinner counterparts. They’re tired of being ignored by the industry and shopping for styles wedged into the far reaches of department stores. Now, Susan Moses, a plus-size woman with a dynamic personality and an in-demand stylist whose clientele includes Hollywood and music industry celebrities, addresses this audience’s needs with this essential handbook to help them look fabulous.

    The Art of Dressing Curves gives plus-size women the confidence and know-how to dress beautifully for their particular body shape. Gorgeously designed, filled with high-fashion photography, and written in Susan’s down-to earth, accessible, and enthusiastic voice, The Art of Dressing Curves tells the story of her journey to self-acceptance and outlines her formula for seamless dressing that has helped some of the most iconic curvy women in music, film, and fashion look dazzling in the spotlight.

    From foundation garments to wardrobe essentials to hair and makeup, Susan dispenses advice on every aspect of dressing well for one’s shape, size, and personality, insight supplemented by a wealth of elegant editorial photographs, anecdotes, tips, and sidebars, as well as lists of specialty retailers, designers, and websites that cater to plus-size.

      When did you start taking pictures? My journey in photography started when I was about 15 in Lagos. I found an old camera at home that no one was using. I hadn’t even known we had one! So I bought a roll of film and I’ve never stopped taking picture

      Thrilled I didn't buy this and disappointed as I had been waiting for this book for ages. Essentially I'm going to echo other views: Nothing new here, there is no magic formula, and the only "secret" seems to be shapewear. Lots and lots and lots of shapewear. Moses advocates for layering the damn things and nope, I'm not pouring myself into layers of shapewear when I wear my usual uniform: jeans and a tshirt. Good fitting clothes help tremendously in making you look gorgeous without the need of shapewear, which Moses does kind of point to with a huff but quickly away from. Her "15 Top Pieces" is a rehash of every fashion site, curvey or not, that comes out with the same list at least 2x a year. She is styling for a middle aged lady - there doesn't seem to be anything even remotely youthful for those who are not into dowdy clothes. I'm not necessarily a young chicken myself but c'mon! I'm not the ladies who lunch crowd and this doesn't even closely fit the bill.

      What was even more disappointing was half of the photos seemed to be culled from Google images and were of model models -- you know, the size and unders. Selling a book that purports to be about body positivity and "living your best life" while using photos of model models sends a confused message. (And honestly? I know she's using the models to illustrate the different types of body types and clothes, but they all looked the same.)
