Frequently Asked Questions
I want to lose weight. Should I wait before booking my session with you?
In short, no! How many months have you been promising yourself that you're going to lose a few pounds? The styling process is all about increasing your confidence and building your self-esteem using clothes.
Straight away I'll be able to show you how to drop a dress size just by selecting the right clothes for your body shape. This may well provide you with the motivation to start your weight loss but it equally might show you that you don't need to lose weight to look good.
Either way you'll feel better about yourself and maybe it’ll provide the kick-start you've needed to embark on a healthier life style.
Do I have to get naked?
You will be getting changed and trying on lots of different outfits but
a): you can do this in a separate room if you'd like and
b): you'll always have your underwear on.
Do try and remember that I see women of all different ages, shapes and sizes everyday of the week! I'm no stick insect myself!
How much money will I need to spend on clothes?
It's more about making the most of what you've already got in your wardrobe than encouraging you to spend money. That said, you may be missing key pieces, that may cost less than £10! As your personal stylist, if I am shopping for you I don't make any money on the clothes I purchase, and any discount that I receive I pass directly on to you. You may have nothing to spend or money to invest in your style story- either way, I can work with you.
I’m having a wardrobe re-style, what do I need to do to prepare?
You could leave things as they are, but recommend doing some tidying up of your wardrobe, such as hanging up your clothes and pairing up your shoes etc. I could do this for you if you wish, but equally you may not want to pay the hourly rate to do this basic clean-up. Don't throw anything away though!
How far will you travel?
I don't have any issues with travelling any distance but I do like to work around my son, which generally means I need to travel from and back to my area, so working hours are between 9.30am and 3pm. With advance notice I can increase these hours to 6pm.
