Kerry's Rules:

1. Wayne and Stacy showed Kerry a fitted, short coat to replace her oversized, shapeless, grey swing coat.

2. With it, they gave her an example of a fitted, turtle neck with a thinner texture than the heavy, shapeless knits that she had been wearing. Thinner textures, with a more form-fitting shape, are more flattering with …

3. A longer, wider trouser. Get rid of the ankle-length, straight trousers.

4. They also showed her a mid-length dress with a more flattering cut: an empire waistline, a draped, A-line shape, in a fabric that doesn't cling but floats off the body. A light cardigan could be worn with it.

5. For evening wear, look for a full length black dress with wider straps. It could be worn with a shawl. (Kerry had previously been wearing strapless and deep, V-neck dresses).
