Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

1. Sex up your look like Gabrielle, the ultra sassy Latina and ex fashion model. If you want to dress like Gabrielle, go for slinky tight-fitting tops, short skirts or tight pants. Gabrielle is also famous for her bling, so stock up on your gaudy costume jewelry. Don't forget a sexy pair of high strappy heals--whether wearing jeans or skirts, Gabbie wears heals.
2. Go comfortable, yet girly if you want the Susan Mayer look. Susan is the most down-to-earth character on the show, writing children's books at home. She often layers her look, with a feminine scoop neck tank top under a tight yet comfortable cotton sweatshirt. A nice pair of fitted jeans and a clean pair of tennis shoes will finish off this simple, comfortable yet fashionable look.
3. Dress like Lynette, the working professional mom of the show. Lynette most often wears sexy yet professional button-up shirts, suit pants and only semi-high heals. But Lynette is a busy working mom, so she doesn't overdo the makeup or wear her hair in extravagant styles. Simply pull your hair back with a clip and keep your makeup natural for the Lynette look.
4. Get a classy sophisticated look if you want to dress like Bree. Bree is ultra-conservative and pays attention to the finest of details. Often sporting elegant sweater sets and feminine suits, she almost always accompanies her look with fine diamond earrings and classy high heals. Remember the details, iron your clothes, no stains and make sure every hair is in place.
5. Thank the Gods and Goddesses if you have a body to dress like Edie. Edie loves to shock the people of Wisteria Lane with a provocative, sexy look. For a look like Edie's, wear tight-fitting clothing, low-cut, cleavage-revealing tops and jeans that show off your belly button. Top off this look with a trendy feminine cowboy hat or a high pony tail.
