-In this programme,

-we meet Ian Cottrell...

-..a DJ who knows which items in his

-organised wardrobe he likes to wear.

-We also meet a young mother who's

-not so sure what she should wear.

-She needs help to choose clothes

-and to get her wardrobe organised.

-I don't follow fashion.

-I've reached the age

-and the mindset...

-..where I don't need to

-hit the high street every Saturday.

-I've found a style

-with which I'm comfortable.

-I think it's sad to follow fashion

-and look like everyone else.

-Almost all aspects of

-Ian Cottrell's life involve music.

-I have a simple style.

-I choose things

-which are comfortable...

-..which don't say, "Hey, everyone!

-Look at me - I'm Ian Cottrell!"

-It's nice to have T-shirts

-which express your personality...

-..when you're DJ-ing.

-I've always been in love with music.

-My T-shirts and my shirts...

-..reflect the music I loved

-when the garment was bought.

-The bands I liked back then

-are still quite cool.

-The Smiths - Hatful of Hollow.

-Simple but effective.

-Do you still wear them?

-Do you still wear them?

-

-Yes, I still wear that one.

-One of the oldest things I have

-is a Radio 1 Roadshow T-shirt.

-I got this from the roadshow

-in Colwyn Bay or Rhyl in 1988.

-You know your stuff

-when it comes to music.

-I won a contest

-called Pop Brain of Britain.

-My school team won Pop of the Form

-twice in the late 1980s.

-I still wear this T-shirt.

-When I wear it, people always ask,

-"Where did you get that T-shirt?"

-I enjoy buying T-shirts

-when I go to gigs.

-You can't get most of them

-in the shops.

-You can only get them at gigs,

-so they're quite rare.

-I spend a lot of time

-studying things...

-..especially

-when I'm not sure about something.

-I went to a We Are Scientists gig

-and I don't like purple.

-I spent 20 minutes

-looking at this T-shirt...

-..thinking, "Hmm! Will it work?"

-This is a French group

-called Phoenix.

-I like the design. It's simple.

-If I saw you wearing this,

-I wouldn't know Phoenix was a band.

-Someone, somewhere,

-will share your musical tastes...

-..and it connects you, somehow.

-Yes, it's like

-belonging to a secret society!

-My favourite band of all time

-is the Pet Shop Boys.

-They showed huge imagination,

-when it came to image.

-They create a whole world...

-..and I have similar taste

-in clothes, music and style.

-That never really lent itself

-to Diffiniad - my band.

-I was the only one

-who liked that sort of thing.

-We were aware of the fact that

-we were performing on stage.

-Towards the end of our career, we

-decided we should dress similarly.

-We all wore blue or black

-for our final gig.

-# Come together

-# Come together. Unite. #

-I don't wear this.

-I keep it to remind me how big

-T-shirts were in the early 1990s!

-It's a Diffiniad T-shirt,

-with Bethan Richards on the front.

-I like Brigyn.

-It's a band

-which has a strong image.

-Brigyn members design their own

-CD covers, T-shirts and packaging.

-It fits in

-with my aesthetic of good music.

-My father took a lot of photos.

-He took his camera everywhere.

-There are lots of photos

-of me and my sister.

-I was image-conscious

-from a young age!

-I wear my father's tops

-and I wear my grandfather's tops.

-I remember going through my father

-and my grandfather's wardrobes...

-..when I was 15 or 16 years old

-and starting to find my own style.

-I wanted to be one up on my friends,

-so I opened the wardrobe.

-This is my favourite shirt.

-Whose shirt was it?

-Whose shirt was it?

-

-It belonged to my grandfather.

-This comes from the late 1960s

-or the early 1970s.

-Do you remember

-your grandad wearing it?

-I've seen photos of him wearing it.

-It's timeless.

-I've been wearing it

-since I found it, 15 years ago.

-I also found these two shirts

-and I wear them all the time.

-They're a pair.

-I love these two shirts.

-They're fantastic!

-They must have come

-as a matching set of two.

-The colour is brilliant.

-It's the colour of mustard.

-I'm sure he'd be thrilled

-that you like them so much.

-It's nice to be able to wear them.

-The National Eisteddfod

-was in Mold in 1991.

-I wore my grandad's coat,

-and he'd recently passed away.

-Someone held a cigarette near it

-and burnt a hole in the coat.

-I went berserk!

-I went mental!

-I was young at the time, of course.

-Clothes like that

-are really important to me.

-It's a way of keeping hold

-of a part of my family.

-Clothes are tangible reminders

-of loved ones.

-They keep my grandad's memory alive.

-I bought it second-hand for 15.

-I love this jacket,

-especially the zips on the sleeves.

-It's like a biker jacket.

-I feel like Barry Sheene

-when I wear it!

-I bought this

-in one of the arcades in Cardiff.

-You rarely see jackets

-with a curved bottom edge...

-..and it looks really great.

-This is another fantastic jacket.

-It's quite fitted.

-It looks like

-something from Starsky & Hutch!

-This is the sort of thing

-my father wore in the 1970s.

-Maybe I'm trying to be like him.

-There's a really nice V-shape

-on the back of this jacket.

-Music changes all the time.

-It evolves.

-Will your style evolve

-in a similar way?

-I can't see my style

-changing drastically.

-I see what some older people wear

-and I think, "Yeah! That's cool."

-I see what some people my age wear

-and I think, "No way! Grow up!"

-I'll be happy enough to wear

-a white T-shirt, a pair of jeans...

-..and a pair of trainers.

-I like to dress simply.

-I like to wear things

-in which I feel comfortable...

-..and completely relaxed.

-I don't want to have to

-try too hard.

-I have a strong personality

-which comes across to people I meet.

-My clothes don't have to

-compensate for anything.

-So, you agreed to have a makeover?

-It'll be nice for you to have

-something for you for a change.

-Yes, you'll find out

-what colours suit you.

-You'll get some expert advice.

-Clothes are the last thing on

-working mother Wendy Edwards's mind.

-Buddug and Non, her friends...

-..persuaded her

-to let us transform her wardrobe.

-We go out for an hour's walk

-at seven o'clock every morning.

-That's the only time

-I have to myself.

-Maenclochog may seem quiet

-but it's noisy at Wendy's house.

-Her wardrobe

-is getting the better of her.

-Are you OK?

-Are you OK?

-

-Not bad, thanks.

-What have I let myself in for?

-She needs a makeover

-because she's really busy.

-She doesn't have time

-to go shopping.

-How do you hope she'll look

-at the end?

-A bit more stylish.

-A bit prettier.

-What about Gareth, her husband?

-How would you like her to dress?

-Um.

-Well, just the way she dresses now.

-She's always dressed nicely.

-She's always dressed nicely.

-

-You're happy with the way she is.

-When you go shopping, do you feel

-you don't know where to start?

-Yes. I don't like shopping.

-I hit the shops and I either

-can't see anything I like...

-..or the things I like

-don't suit me.

-I say, "That's it! I'm going home."

-I saw this in 'Seconds Ahead'.

-The children said, "Yuck!

-You're not going out in that!"

-I said, "It's new! I'll wear it!"

-Are there times when you

-feel fantastic about yourself?

-No, not really.

-I wear this to go to Sunday School

-or to chapel.

-I'd also wear it to a meeting,

-if I had time to dress up for it.

-I think it's quite smart.

-Let's see what Eleanor thinks.

-Cue Eleanor Gardner,

-the Cwpwrdd Dillad stylist.

-Wendy is a really attractive woman.

-She needs to celebrate that fact

-a bit more.

-That's why I chose colourful clothes

-which have a more feminine cut.

-Let's get rid of her old clothes,

-which don't emphasize her shape...

-..and get her looking like

-a yummy mummy.

-Is Wendy ready for Eleanor's advice?

-The first think that strikes me

-is how disorganised it is.

-There are a lot of old clothes

-in here.

-I can see garments which date back

-to the 1990s in here.

-The old labels on the clothes

-are a giveaway.

-Don't show it!

-Put it straight down.

-More old clothes!

-Old, old, old!

-Wendy, what is this?!

-The problem with dresses like this

-is they make you look busty...

-..and they make your shoulders

-look broad.

-It does nothing for you.

-Breasts are wonderful!

-If you're busty,

-then celebrate the fact!

-Celebrate them in the right way.

-Celebrate them in the right way.

-

-What is the right way?

-Wendy should wear jumpers and tops

-with a deep V-neck.

-I like this jacket.

-You should buy more garments

-which have princess lines.

-They taper at the waist.

-Should Wendy buy from

-petite ranges in the shops?

-Yes.

-The sleeve shouldn't

-be longer than your wrist.

-I know you don't like this skirt.

-I don't like it either!

-You know what I'm going to say.

-It makes me look fatter?

-It makes me look fatter?

-

-Correct!

-Wendy, this is the only winter coat

-I've found in your wardrobe.

-Does that mean you still wear it?

-Does that mean you still wear it?

-

-Yes.

-I don't wear it with flat shoes,

-mind you!

-It's a very practical, warm coat.

-It's good for funerals

-and to attend chapel services.

-I must add that it looks

-a little bit like a dressing gown!

-You must learn that it's alright

-to show off your body shape.

-The fact you're a mother

-of four children...

-..doesn't mean

-you must hide your body.

-You have a small waist.

-She has a tiny waist.

-She has a tiny waist.

-

-Show it to the world!

-I wear big knickers.

-I wear big knickers too!

-They help

-minimise your tummy instantly.

-It's a lot for her to take in.

-Add to that the fact tons of clothes

-have been ejected from her wardrobe!

-She's reached the point...

-..where she knows the next step

-is a positive one.

-She knows a lot of new clothes are

-about to be added to her wardrobe.

-She now realises

-she doesn't need all those clothes.

-I bought this sweatshirt

-in No47 in Narberth.

-It's comfy and it's easy to wear.

-I don't wear anything under it.

-The shape's fine

-but the colour does nothing for you.

-You should wear strong colours.

-You can wear pink.

-You can wear red too.

-Compare this to the pink and red,

-and it looks drab.

-It makes your skin look grey.

-It's important to wear colour

-because it makes us feel positive.

-You're a sunny, colourful,

-warm person.

-Those colours

-bring out the colour in your face.

-Yes, it really lifts you.

-Andrew Price and Louise

-will style Wendy's hair.

-When you wake up in the morning...

-..the last thing

-you want to see is a mess.

-You need to see your clothes

-before you decide what to wear.

-It sounds a bit anal

-but it really does work.

-Can I come in? Wendy isn't with me.

-Can I come in? Wendy isn't with me.

-

-OK. Come in, Nia.

-Look at this mess!

-Eleanor!

-Her wardrobe is organised and

-her clothes are on wooden hangers.

-I got rid of the mess on the shelf.

-All this is going?

-Yes. They've got to go!

-She didn't know what was at the back

-of her wardrobe other than dust!

-I think she'll feel relieved

-when all those clothes have gone.

-She'll smile about it tomorrow

-when she's thought it through.

-Try it on for me.

-Look at this!

-It draws the eye to your waist.

-The small V at the neck

-helps break it up.

-I love this dress.

-I know what you're thinking,

-"It's grey! Where's the colour?"

-It's clingy!

-Yes, but what's that you're wearing?

-Yes - big knicks!

-Everything will look smooth

-under this dress.

-This scarf will lift it.

-I'm not convinced!

-These coats are a bit grey...

-..but these are in the shops

-at the moment.

-Do you feel more sexy?

-This is comfy but pretty.

-Yes. I feel comfortable in this.

-I want the crew to leave

-so you can try on more clothes.

-The moment of truth is here and

-these judges are sure to be honest!

-This is the everyday outfit.

-Wow!

-I love the jacket!

-I wouldn't have chosen that colour.

-I wouldn't have chosen that colour.

-

-Me neither - a red jacket!

-It's a short jacket.

-It's a short jacket.

-

-Those tight jeans look fantastic.

-Yes, they make her legs look long.

-They look slim too.

-Special!

-Eleanor taught me

-to be adventurous with colour.

-She told me what styles suit me,

-and that's given me confidence.

-It's uplifting.

-You wouldn't think colour changes

-your mood but it definitely does.

-I feel great in this jacket.

-This is the smart-casual outfit.

-I can't believe

-you've had four children!

-That's Eleanor's magic!

-You said you didn't want to

-show your legs.

-Do you feel your legs

-are covered up in those boots?

-Yes. I'd be happy to wear

-these boots and this dress.

-I'd probably wear the scarf too.

-I'd feel exposed without the scarf.

-It suits you.

-The dress is very comfortable...

-..and the boots cover my legs,

-which is great.

-I'd never have worn brown, grey

-and burgundy wine together...

-..but I think they look nice.

-Oh, wow!

-Leggings?

-Leggings?

-

-No, they're black tights.

-You've been hiding your legs for

-years, but you have fantastic legs.

-No, I don't!

-I really like it!

-It really pulls you in,

-at the waist.

-It passes. It passes.

-The colour

-looks really amazing on you.

-If I saw this colour in a shop,

-I'd have walked past!

-You look much more stylish.

-Owen, what do you think?

-Owen, what do you think?

-

-You stand out for the right reasons.

-It wasn't like that before today.

-It's great to try a new colour

-and a new style.

-It's short but I feel great!

-It's been wonderful

-to have Eleanor here.

-She told me what styles suit me

-and what colours to wear.

-It's a life-changing experience.

-I now see clothes differently

-and I'm happy to try something new.

-When I first saw the colour

-and the length I thought, "Uh-oh!"

-Once I'd seen it with the jacket,

-the tights and the shoes...

-..I thought,

-"Hmm! Yes, it looks nice."

-I feel quite confident.

-I now realise

-I need time to myself.

-I might make time for myself

-from now on.
