“Your seminar was fabulous! Not only do you have a wonderful speaking style, but the energy you generated was fantastic. Your system is amazing. I am now able to shop in my own closet, have discovered a whole new wardrobe without spending a dime, and can finally see the forest through the trees. On behalf of RISD, thank you for a seminar that was informative, fun and life-changing!”

Ready to Wear Seminars

“Ready to Wear” seminars bring Mary Lou Andre and the concepts detailed in her book Ready to Wear: An Expert’s Guide to Choosing and Using Your Wardrobe directly to your clients, employees and associations.

You choose the venue, time of day and speaking format (one hour, two hour and half day presentations are available and Mary Lou will always stay to sign books!) and we’ll arrange to have the books delivered directly to where the seminar will be conducted. When you buy the books as a gift for participants, you receive a 45% premium discount from our publisher. We can also arrange for a bookstore to come to your event and sell the books directly to participants.

Some of the key points covered in these high-impact and motivational seminars include:

Too many clothes, nothing to wear!

Many women run out to buy a new outfit every time an invitation arrives for a function, then return home only to discover they don’t have matching shoes. Mary Lou will help participants assess their lifestyles to determine the category of clothing that works best for them. Her wardrobe taming tips include:

  • Play tough love. Identify and toss the 80 percent of clothing you don’t wear to make room for the items you do.
  • Shop in your closet. Discover how to assemble new outfits by mixing and matching unrelated pieces you already own.
  • Develop a shopping plan within your budget to fill the gaps in your wardrobe.

All you need to know to dress like a pro

Ever wonder why some women always look terrific, even ones not blessed with a perfect body? Mary Lou will discuss the importance of:

  • The strategic use of line formed by clothing to accentuate physical assets and downplay flaws.
  • Dressing proportionately for women who are petite, missy, tall, or plus size.
  • Creating balance in outfits by matching fabric styles and weight.

Mary Lou has specific suggestions that will help women of all sizes, body types and ages look and feel their personal best. Including:

  • How to dress 10 pounds thinner.
  • Camouflaging techniques for the bust, neck, thighs, arms, waist and ankles.
  • Dressing tips for the over 50 crowd.
  • Petite dressing.
