Summary of How to Get Dressed 

4.4 . 758 reviews

Short summary

Fashion can appear to be a complicated subject. Models on the catwalk seem to have it perfected, but there are teams of glam squads behind the scenes to make them look on-trend and polished. It’s easy to assume that you’re never going to master style in the same way, but it’s entirely within your reach! All you need are a few tricks of the trade. Bestselling author Alison Freer is a Hollywood-based costume designer who styled more TV and movie stars than she can count. She wants to share her knowledge with you. From how to master your style to how to fix items that you assume are ready for the bin, you’ll quickly see that being fashionable to put together is not only for the A-listers. "Do you ever wonder what people mean when they say someone has “great style”? It’s an elusive concept, to be sure. What they are really saying is that the person in question just looks good all the time." ~ Alison Freer

Anyone can look stylish with well-fitting clothes

Listen the first key point

There is a thought in the mainstream that says to be fashionable; you need to be tall and skinny. This fallacy is damaging the confidence of millions of people. The truth is that you don’t need to have any specific body type to hit the fashion high notes. You just need to wear clothes that suit you and fit you well.

Alison Freer has years of experience in the fashion industry. She has dressed every type of body shape out there, and she says with complete conviction that the only enemy you have facing you when it comes to being stylish is choosing clothes that don’t tailor to your body correctly.
When clothes gape, bag, or pull too tight on your body, they aren’t the right fit for you. Look for tailored clothes which compliment your body and make you feel great.
Looking good all the time sounds impossible; we all have our bad days, after all. However, if you choose clothes that go with your personal style, flatter your shape, and sit perfectly, there’s no reason why you can’t be that person who always looks wholly put together. “How to Get Dressed” doesn’t dictate to you what clothes you should wear and which you should throw in the bin; it educates you on why you can wear anything you want, as long as you like it, wear it with confidence, and it fits you correctly.

Far too many people buy clothes from the store and assume that they will suit them if they choose their specific size. That’s not true. Every person is a slightly different shape, even within a size, so how can a pair of pants, a skirt, a T-shirt, or a blouse fit perfectly for everyone? Becoming downhearted because a pair of pants doesn’t work perfectly off the rack will lead to body confidence issues. Instead, learn how to tailor your clothes to fit you to perfection. That way, you’ll never wonder how to be stylish again.
It’s a total lie that you need a certain body type to be truly stylish. ~ Alison Freer
second key point

A good tailor can be the difference between stylish and a fashion mistake

If it’s not that common to pull clothes off the rack and have them fit you perfectly, how are you supposed to find items that flatter your body? With the services of a quality tailor, that’s how.

Headway is the answer! No longer accumulating books I never read. With Headway, I initially chose the areas important to me such as productivity, time management, etc., and each day I'm provided several book summaries from which I devote 20 minutes or more each day reading. All of this on my phone! My life has improved with Headway. Truly my most useful app.

In today’s world, we rarely have time. Between our jobs, our families are social obligations, when do we have time to grow and develop ourselves? Headway is an excellent app that gives you that time it gives you those little snippets of information that you need to direct your focus in on your life. Headway gives you a chance to find out the meat of a book that you might want to purchase and read or listen to in-depth without wasting a lot of time trying to figure out is this book for me? I highly recommend the app.

I've gotten multiple books out of the library with the intent to read them, but always have a hard time finding the time. This app has helped me finally be able to get to them. Summarized, yes, and thank goodness too! Just short enough I can finish one on my way picking kids up from school/practice, or while I'm cooking dinner. I can't wait to listen to them over the summer when we visit the beach!

It amazed me! There is the possibility to highlight the most important points of each book and instantly translate unfamiliar vocabulary. With the ability to review the searched words. It's a great way to learn more about English as well. The price is great.

I’m enjoying what I’m learning on headway.each summary comes with quotes at the end which you can save to help you remember key points. You can listen or read, I’ve found that reading puts me to sleep before I can finish but the listening feature keeps me engaged and I can finish in a brief amount of time if not one session.

Exactly what I need! I always have booklist to read, but can't committed enough to finish/start bc of too much pages. Headway is really helpful and concise with their summary. What I love the most is that the essence of the book is well crafted, so I don't only read the key points, but also there's the story and how personality of the author still well shown through the summary. Well done!
