Problem
‘I live next to the beach and every morning it’s the same routine: wake up, pull on shorts or jeans and a baggy jumper, and take my springer spaniel, Hope, for a walk. This makeover is the perfect opportunity to try something different with the help of a styling team, and find out if I can still look fashionable.’

Solution
Lynn wanted to find a flattering dress to liven up her wardrobe. This linen shirtdress, paired with trainers, is casual enough for dog walks, but can be smartened up with statement jewellery and heeled sandals. The quilted gilet accentuates Lynn’s waist, as well as adding colour and texture.

Lynn’s verdict
‘When Steph showed me the outfit I was nervous, because a billowy skirt is not something I’d usually wear. But as soon as I saw it on, I couldn’t believe how good it looked. This has taught me that you can’t judge what will suit you when it’s on the hanger – you need to give it a try, even if it’s outside your comfort zone. It’s given me a much-needed confidence boost when it comes to clothes shopping.’
