"Dear Brini, How do you dress to look slim? Anonymous"
There are plenty of tenants on choosing a wardrobe that helps you look slender. More about them in a minute. First, that question implies that you would like to be slim, but feel you can't. There is a philosophy, that when adopted, can help you achieve your goals with your body, as well as in other areas of your life. It's espoused by gurus like Wayne Dyer and before him Neville Goddard. It has to do with imagination being the root of reality. If you can inhabit your imagination to the point of feeling the circumstances of your desire, from attitude to point of view and beyond, and you can maintain this state extended periods of time, then your desires will seek you out - you'll be presented with ways to make them happen. I've had some success with these methods with various aspects of my life. Give it a try!
Now, as promised:
Clothes that make you look slim are generally dark in color, fit you well, have matte textures and aren't bulky, like tweeds. They should also accentuate your best points. For example, a long neck will look lovely dressed in high collars, but a shorter neck will look best with a V-neckline.
Why didn't you think of that?
Love,
Brini

ABOUT BRINI MAXWELL:
Described as part Donna Reed, part Mary Tyler Moore, Maxwell makes kitsch feel classy through her unparalleled personal flair for home design, entertaining and savvy household tips. Inspired by a divine thrift shop purchase of 1950's nesting bowls, she first began sharing her vintage/classic know-how with other Manhattanites in 1998 through her self-titled cable access television show. With an emphasis on uncompromising fabulousness, Brini quickly garnered a devoted fan base and established herself as the go-to-girl on vintage fashion and mid-century modern treasures. After five years on the local airwaves her show was picked up by the Style Network. The subsequent series has been called a delightful success and has attracted a diverse audience thorough its national platform.

The Brini Maxwell Show
The pilot for the original show was produced in 1996. The show debuted on Manhattan Neighborhood Network on January 1, 1998, and aired for 5 years featuring tips, recipes, entertaining ideas, craft projects, home renovation and interior design schemes. It was produced by Sander's production company V.R.U.S.P. Inc. and directed by Sander's mother, Mary Jane Wells.
In 2001 Sander was contacted by Amy Briamonte, east coast director of development for west coast based Termite Art Productions (now Creative Differences Productions). Briamonte and Sander developed a pitch for the show for the Bravo network and received an order for a pilot. The pilot was produced in the summer of 2002 for a show titled Charming, Needs Work. The premise for the show was Maxwell lived in an apartment that she redecorated every week. After Bravo passed on the show Briamonte, Sander and Termite Art pitched it to Stephen Schwartz and Heather Moran, newly named VP's of programming for the Style network. The pitch resulted in an order for a 13-episode season.
The first season of The Brini Maxwell Show for the Style network was taped in the summer of 2003 with studio production taking place on the main stage at Unitel Studios on west 57th St. in New York City. Location shoots for the season were taped over a period of 6 months in New York City, Los Angeles and Las Vegas.
