Hi Tim!
First off, allow me to gush over you; I think you are the kindest sweetest person ever!
Now onto the purses; I am a huge purse fan. I have every type of purse; different sizes and colors to match my outfits, from casual to formal. The one thing I never bothered to notice until you pointed it out was big bags on a short person. I actually stood in front of a mirror and thought, " My Gosh! He's right! I look incredibly slouchy and unkempt!'. Some of my favorite bags are the big hobo bags. So I tried it with a pair of my stiletto boots and looked much better. I'll just have to remember to wear my big bags with my big shoes to even out my proportion (lol). Big huge bags do not look good on a short person, so thanks for pointing that out.
As for the dowdy old lady fashion, my mother is a victim of this. She is 47 years old and a little overweight; therefore, everything she wears is black and HUGE! She's circa 1980s with her HUGE ( she buys them 4 sizes too big!) tops and black stretch leggings and white tennis shoes....I know....bleh...
I'm always trying to convince her that huge tent looking tops actually makes her look twice as big and to look for something tailored. But she doesn't want to leave her comfort zone of huge oversized tops and black stretch leggings, (don't forget the white tennis shoes). Any suggestions on how to dress her better without changing her too much?
Love your blog and love your shows!

Mr. Gunn, I greatly enjoy your warm approachable personality coupled with your wit and engagingly delivered advice. It is obvious that you care and it makes even negative comments sound constructive and non-threatening.

I was wondering if you will ever have an episode for the plus-side women who, in addition to being pear-shaped, is not blessed with the great legs ladies who carry their weight in their chest often have. As women who are pear-shaped down to the ground know, ( big thighs and fat calves) there are not boots that would ever fit (or should ever be worn),knee-length or just-below-the-knee skirts are uncomfortable and just look awful. We tend to wear pants (conceal those fat calves!) and if we wear a dress or skirt, it is long.
Fortunately, retailers have begun to market pants that are "right-sized" to the plus size market that take into account body shape and I am a grateful blue (curvy) 7P. But there is nothing else for us, really. I know to try to bring the focus to the top to balance out the top and bottom with color, vee necks and princess seams. Other than that, I am floundering.

While I am definitely not a volunteer, there must be a pear-shaped lady with big legs out there (New York? Los Angeles?) that can be helped by your advice. Other shows have always used those pretty leg, big on the top, ladies that that are much easier to help to put on the right design track. Is there any chance you can take on the tougher challenge and illustrate some solutions for the rest of us? We are kind of forgotten. Or are we not a segment that lends itself to solutions easily illustrated in an episoode? I can reasily believe it as I certainly am living it, but my hope is that this season or next you can lend your talent to us.

In all events, there is certainly something in every epidode I have see that is valuable to anyone. Keep it up!

Dear Tim and Veronica, First, allow me to say how much I enjoy your show. I love the way you relate to one another - especially when you get the giggles. I wonder though how the contestants manage such visible critism of their choices, etc. I'm not sure but I might just melt from embarassment and shame! I related to this show as a retired military woman who wore uniforms for many years. It is so easy getting dressed day after day but on the flip side, I don't think I ever learned what kind of clothes work for my shape and size. Would be nice to include this kind of knowledge at the pre-retirement seminars! Several years ago, we were all reading "Color me Beautiful." What about the color palette? I'd like to know more about that and I'd also like to see a show for the woman over 50. In any case, I was so glad to see that the show had done well and that you were coming back with more. By the way, my favorite show was the very first (Rebecca?) She was so precious and I loved to see not just her display of emotion but her husband's also. And then you had the mother and sister come in through the door. I lost it at that point! Keep up the good work..I'm hooked! P.S. Tim Gunn, you are the best and Veronica, I love your authenticity. I'd love to see you as a guest judge on Project Runway! All the best, Faye (Retired Navy Nurse)

Okay, dear, you and I need to have a discussion about one item in your "Ten Essentials": the trench coat. No, no, no, no, no! I've never met a trench coat that looks good on me. And why? I'm 5'3". Any double-breasted, belted item is bound and determined to make me look dumpy. I can try on all sizes, all makes, every damn trench in the store. No dice. Trench coats are for tall, thin women. My all-weather coat is a black, swing-style, and, believe me, it looks better on me than any trench coat could dream of, and I've had people chase me down to ask where I got it.

It also looks funny when a tiny girl small in frame is carrying a huge bag it loooks like she is going to fall over. And most girls are said to have cute bags when they carry them when i think they just look funny.

Greetings, Tim. I love Guide to Style and hope there will be another season. Please tell me, how does the selection process work? I know there are thousands of others who think the same way, but I really think I would be an interesting subject for the show. I am 53 years old and have just graduated from law school, having returned to school at the age of 50 to start a second career. It's been quite a few years since I have been in the job market, and as a new lawyer, and considering that I'm now competing with people half my age for employment, I need all the help I can get! I am very outgoing and young at heart and they tell me I'm attractive. I'm about a size 8 to 10. I work out at the gym six days a week. Right now, I'm definitely a classic "before," because I pretty much still dress like a student. Would love to hear from you. Thanks!!

Hi Tim, love your show and love your book (I recommend both to basically anyone who will listen). I would like you to address the subject of choosing the right shades of color to compliment ones skin tone. I have read up about this (old books from the 80s and newer ones) and the more I read, the more confused I am about what 'season' I am or if I am a 'cool' or 'warm' tone, etc. Some books I have read say that not all women can wear black. So, where does that put the little black dress? Instead they suggest very dark shades of plum or navy for certain skin tones. Anyway, I have not seen a show about style that addresses what I know stylists use when selecting items for their clients - color palettes. I want to know more so I can pick the right shades when shopping. Thanks!

Hi Tim,
I love the show. It is a wonderful thing you are doing for women who deserve to feel good about themselves. I myself have a few fashion issues that I would appreciate some advice on, and I hope you might run across someone with a similar build as me in the future.
First, Why can't I wear a tube top? Plunging necklines do nothing for me as I have no cleavage to speak of, but I do have fantastically toned arms and shoulders, why can't I show them off? I wouldn't wear it to work!
I am tall-ish (5'7") and muscular but thin (115lbs). I have a hard time finding pants in the womens section that are small enough in the waist but long enough to cover my ankles. I would love to see you do a show that addresses the issue of having ZERO hips and not enough in the chest to pull off most dresses I've seen. I'd love some advice on bra shopping!
It is hard to look professional (I'm a second year medical student) while wearing clothes that are ill-fitting or from the juniors department. All body types have their own issues, but we've seen what to do about huge breasts, big hips, and shortness. Please do a show on someone very tall and thin (all over!)?
Congrats on your success!

I just watched your show for the first time and loved it! I have really enjoyed your comments on Project Runway and now love your expertise on Guide to Style. Women love to be educated on what works for them not made fun of for what they do not understand. I love your approach. It is absolutely o.k. to have "fun" with a woman as she makes a transformation. I have watched "that other show" with Stacy and Clinton and they are a little too harsh at their subjects expense.

I would like to take a moment to give public and heartfelt kudos to Tim. The heart and compassion that he shows to each and every person he encounters, even when coupled with necessary criticisms, is so refreshing. I am in the midst of a very difficult time in my life (and find myself watching a lot of television). So many shows leave me feeling inadequate - not the perfect figure, not the perfect wardrobe, not as young as I used to be. The standard drill. However, when I have the occasion to see Tim, I am always left with a feeling of hope and empowerment. And that's priceless.

Tim, rock on.

Tim:
First of all, I love this show. It is wonderful, fun, inspiring, and teaches me so much. Now, it does not only teach me about dressing, fashion,and looking at my own figure realistically, it teaches me so much more. You do these makeovers for these women and they are changed from the inside out for the better. You do not just change how one woman looks and feels about herself, you have helped me personally to work on doing the same. I imagine that many women who watch this show feel that same way. You are reaching out to much more than just the women you help on the show. You are reaching out to anyone who will listen. As a 22 year old, out of college and having moved to a brand new place, beginning a career and trying to have an enriching and healthy relationship with not only my boyfriend but with all the people around me, I welcome the lessons and tips you convey in every episode. At this point, I have come to the decision that I need to treat myself better and also explore just who "me" is. It's a constant battle and sometimes it's so overwhelming I just don't know where to start. Tuning into your show immediately brings my spirits up. I just watched the show about Lori, and I was compelled to reach out to you to share my thoughts and appreciation. It was such a magnificent journey and so wonderful how much you and others helped her to do the work she needed. I literally throw my arms in the air at the end of all your shows, so proud of those women, and so grateful that you, Veronica and the entire production do what you do to help each woman. But please know that you are helping me along the way too. So, I thank you for your compassion, your knowledge, your efforts, and your belief in all who you meet. It transcends the TV world and comes into my home and into my heart. Thank you for your show; it is an asset on my journey in developing who I am and who I want to be, not only in personal style but in self-confidence and being a woman. Simply and from the bottom of my heart, thank you, Tim.

I, too, love Tim Gunn and his Guide to Style. However, I want to address Jill's comment: "I have watched "that other show" with Stacy and Clinton and they are a little too harsh at their subjects expense." If you have, indeed, seen What Not to Wear you know that the subjects are not volunteers but are nominated by their friends, family and employers. Most of the women and men hang on to their "style" choices with titanium claws. They need to be pushed into stepping out of their comfort zone and into the realization that purchasing fewer high-quality items is infinitely better than dozens of less expensive, ill-fitting, inappropriate clothes that do nothing but take up closet space and, if worn, highlight the negative rather than the positive.

Also, Clinton and Stacy address ALL body types: short, tall, fat, thin, pear, oval, chesty. They teach these ladies and gentlemen to appreciate themselves in a way they never have before. Their reveals are every bit as emotional as Tim's, and almost every subject describes the experience as life-changing.

Hello Mr. Gunn,
I do not know if you ever actually see these blog entries but kudos if you do have the time. I am looking forward to meeting you at a future PR event. I am sure there will be no one on one time so, my question is this. As a newly PT worker and long time stay at home mom i have no idea how to style myself. My husband works in a prestigious retailer and he encourages me to be timely and classic in style. I do believe he feels himself more confident if i reflect such. problem is I either look classic and frumpy or stylish and ill-fitted. I could use the OptiTech or personal suggestions. I am 47 and 5'4"- hourglass-ish , can't wear petites because of the fit. By the way-in my early retail years before marriage and kids i visited with Liz Claiborne-1980s- fabulous woman!

Have watched all episodes so far (thru Dec. 5 2007) and think the creators/producers/writers are so intent on making the challenges creative that they've discouraged any of the designers' creativity! I wouldn't be surprised if about half of the designers now have an inferiority complex. The team tests seem to be to induce arguing and discontent, not fashion creativity. The best is yet to come--if the producers will allow it.

The first season's designers still rank as the best.

Dear Tim and Veronica,

How do I get on it? I need you desperately! Your help will literally change my life.
I am a nanny to a fabulous family and I feel I have to wear yucky clothes (in every sense, believe me, I look like a nitemare) every day due to small children climbing all over me, I am divorced and too afraid to get back "out there" after so many years of looking terrible (weight, depression, working so incredably hard), yet I think I really do have a creative eye. I am a loving and kind person with alot to give but I just don't know how to dress myself anymore. And this translates, as you know so intimately, into self-confidence and expression.
I need a serious jumpstart from The Genius and his super slick Goddess... Help me please!
Sincerely,
Kristin Schrader
PS. Mr.Gunn, I want to tell you, when I first got divorced (10 years, ugly and super painful, don't ask) I used to go online to the Parsons website and fantasize about going back to school... it was so cool when Project Runway started and here you were, this handsome, hilarious, intelligent, sophisticated, kind hearted and somehow down to earth man (I guess down to earth because you don't sugar coat things and yet are never cruel either)...
and from Parsons! I dreamed you were my teacher and I could just soak up all you've got every day and transcend this crappy deal I settled for when I decided long ago to not believe in me.
Anywhoooo. thanks for the inspiration fantasy fodder.
You rock! And my life is alot better these days thanks to people who make me feel happy to be alive. Creative and cool people, including ones I may never meet.
Thank you.

I was watching your show with my wife. I think it was Episode 102, where you gave Gina a handbag? My wife is currently a stay at home mom who would love to have a bag like that. Since she sacrificed her career to raise kids, the funds for fashion also ran out years ago. Can you tell me where I can find one like that and who the designer is? While watching your show she made a comment on how she needs a new handbag like that, and I would like to get her one for Christmas. I also feel she deserves to have a good handbag. I did not see too many men writing in on your blog so I won't take it personal if you don't post this :) Happy Holidays
Also, do you have a ten essential items list for men? I find myself wearing clothes that I know would make you say "it's just vulgar?!!

I do think that there are exceptions for the miniskirts over 35 'rule'. I think that if you are in great shape and have great legs, show off your legs. Look at Tina Turner (my hero, or is that heroine?). I am petite (5 ft 1) and was blessed with long, gorgeous legs (31 inch inseam!). And after my pregnancy, a great ass. Not bragging, just the facts ma'am. Having no boobs whatsoever (34AA), having good leg is my consolation prize.

I am also 45 and I wear mini-skirts occasionally. Not crotch revealing lengths but definitely shorter than my knee. My optimal skirt length is 19 inches, but in a mini-skirt, I can look extra sexy. I wear them to rock concerts and outdoor summer events. And I plan to wear them as long as my legs look good. So there.

Tim,

You two are the best! Thank you so much for a fabulous 8 episodes. I wish you two were a relative who could come over to my house and go through my closet ;-) I met you in Newport Beach, California where you kindly signed my copy of your book (which I read long before your show aired).

I sincerely hope that you will continue in the future doing the same Bravo show because it is uplifting and heartwarming to see your transformations, and frankly so much more interesting than other shows (including one I can think of on the same station ;-)).

Laura

Hello. I love your show! I can learn how to chose right dresses.
I am wondering if you have a private session for shopping and make-up / hair style makeover just like the tv show?

thank you,

I also loved the necklace gifted to Gina. Thanks to TiVo, I replayed it and heard Tim refer to it as a piece by "Monica Rich Kosann". From what I can tell she is a jewelry designer that incorporates family into her designs. I hope this helps since I wasn't the only one who fell in love with the necklace.
