-Looking nice takes time, Kaitlyn. Do not get up in the morning and grab your outfit from hangers while eyes are still sleeping. Lay out the outfit, with appropriate accessories, shoes and required undergarments, the night before. Disasters are too often the result of sleepy eyes trying to create elegance in a darkened morn.
-Most important, Kaitlyn, should the chubbiness gene take hold on your body, do not fall back on black clothes and lack of grooming for the sorrow. Dress your best no matter your body size. Fat people can look nice and often do.
Now let's review four fashion shows Grandmother has watched at least once and for each has, as expected, an opinion.
The notion is that an individual greatly in need of a style revamp is "nominated" by friends, family or co-workers. There is a certain amount of humiliation in that the fashion offender is taken to task for failure to dress with proper attention to body type, impressions left and not living up to full fashion potential.
They never pick someone really ugly for these sorts of things, Kaitlyn, and Grandmother suspects this is intentional. Your mother would be a great candidate for this sort of show, Kaitlyn, in that she has a beautiful face and a nice body that could be better outfitted than her current trend. But if you tell her I said this, Kaitlyn, then I shall have to deny it.
Through various methods, the fashion offender is given a new wardrobe, hairstyle and makeup. Like the room makeover shows, there is a grand "Reveal" at the end when the fashion offenders makes a grand entrance, now all beautiful and properly outfitted.
Now on to the interesting ways various shows achieve this formula.
Style Court
==========
This show is featured on the Style Network and is, Kaitlyn, a bit hilarious and with quite a bit of tongue in cheek.
There is a "Judge" over the proceedings. There is also a "jury", usually three stylists of some sort who sit in the jury box ready with their comments.
The fashion offender is brought into the "courtroom", having been nominated for fashion arrest by someone they know.
The fashion offenders show up attired in their very worst, which is, so the nominator asserts, the fashion offender's normal mode of dress. Hilariously, the fashion offender then tries to defend their mode of dress even though they may be attired in paint splattered pants or tight tube tops that add nothing but laughter to their appearance.
