From a Paris fitting room · For women over 60

You don't need a new body. You need the clothes that are finally on your side.

For thirty-five years I dressed the women of Paris in my boutique on Rue Saint-Honoré. Now every secret from that fitting room is in one book: what quietly adds years, and what a Parisian woman over sixty wears instead.

Sound familiar?

You bought it because it was comfortable. Then the mirror said something else.

The black sweater that suddenly makes you look tired
Jeans that look fresh at nine and give up by four
The puffer that cuts you in half at the widest place
A closet full of clothes and nothing to wear
A size 12 in one store and a 16 in the next
Glasses, a scarf or a bag that quietly pull your face down

It was never you, chérie. It was the cut, the length, the fabric, the color. And every one of them can be fixed.

Before and after: thick turtleneck and fine merino turtleneck — Same woman, same day. A fine turtleneck instead of a heavy roll. From Chapter 9.

A note from Simone

For years, American women wrote my advice on the back of their receipts.

At nineteen I swept the floor of an old seamstress's workroom in Paris. At twenty-eight I opened my own little boutique, Maison Laurent, on Rue Saint-Honoré, and for thirty-five years I did every fitting myself. Grandmothers, widows, brides' mothers, a retired judge. Many of my clients came from Ohio, Texas and Florida every spring.

Each of them walked in believing something was wrong with her. Each of them walked out knowing nothing was, and that the trouble had been a sleeve, a color or a neckline all along.

"Simone, you have to put all of this in a book." So my daughter Camille sat me down at my kitchen table, and I finally did.

Questions

Answered honestly.

How do I get the book?

It's a digital book. Right after payment you get instant access and can open it straight away on your phone, tablet or computer, in large, easy print. Nothing is shipped, and there is nothing to wait for.

Will it work for my figure and my size?

Yes. The book covers seven real figures and every size, from petite to tall and from slender to full. You measure yourself first, so the advice fits you, not a model.

Do I have to buy a whole new wardrobe?

No. Chapter 8 is a closet edit: keep, tailor, let go. Most women find that half of what they need is already hanging there, waiting for the right partner or a small visit to the tailor.

Are the brands and stores American?

Yes. Simone dressed American women for decades, so the book uses US sizes, inches, dollars and stores you know: Talbots, J.Crew, Nordstrom, Uniqlo, Costco and many more, from budget to splurge.

I'm not good with computers.

You don't need to be. You tap one button, and the book opens. Large print, one big picture at a time.

Can I give it as a gift?

Of course. Many women buy it for a mother, a sister or a friend who keeps saying she has nothing to wear.

Is this a subscription?

No. One payment, and the book is yours to keep.

What if I don't like it?

You have 7 days to ask for a full refund. Simple as that.

You don't need a new body. You need the clothes that are finally on your side.
