Here are the answers *by S***L on August 15, 2018* I was excited when I learned Alison would be writing a book about accessories since I enjoyed her first book, How to Get Dressed, so much, and she does not disappoint. Sometimes I feel carefree and confident about my accessory game, but I've become pretty conservative over the years and would like to mix things up a bit more; this book gives me the confidence to take some chances I wouldn't ordinarily take on how I put things together. For example, how long should a necklace be that suits me and the outfit both? There is more that goes into this decision than I realized. I mean, I have stood in front of the mirror trying and discarding necklaces, feeling it's "not right" but not being able to figure out why...reading the chapter on jewelry and the section on necklaces really helped clarify those feelings--why something feels wrong or right. I'd love to develop the insouciance to just toss on a scarf and be sure that it adds some style instead of either engulfing me or overwhelming me, and I'd love to mix and match prints and colors...maybe one reason I've dressed so conservatively lately is because I can't tell if something is working or not with any confidence. Alison's straightforward and sunny style of writing (and very funny anecdotes about her experiences as a costume designer) gives me a jolt of confidence and a willingness to go beyond what I might normally choose. Showing me how much goes into the decision of how to dress actors in a scene to establish mood and character makes me understand I'm not being fussy--the right choices (and there are lots of right choices, not just one way of doing anything) make a difference. Love this book and I'll be gifting it to my sisters and friends who struggle with some of the same issues because I know it will help them as much as it does me! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/99432954-the-accessory-handbook-a-costume-designers-secrets-for-buying-wearing](https://www.desertcart.us/products/99432954-the-accessory-handbook-a-costume-designers-secrets-for-buying-wearing) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
