About this season
Friends and family members nominate a candidate that they consider poorly dressed and ask the show to make over the "fashion victim." Fashion Police Stacy London and her partner ambush the candidate and make them an offer-- they are given a $5000.00 budget for a new wardrobe, which they must purchase in New York City boutiques over the course of two days, but only on the condition that they allow Stacy & her partner to critique, and in most cases throw out, their existing wardrobe.

It's another WNTW first as the team tackles a delicate subject- undergarments. After asking TLC viewers to submit tapes of themselves nominating someone worthy of assistance, the team chooses three c-workers who each have very unique problems with selecting underwear: Gina, who is very tall but flat chested, Erin, who is short and has the opposite problem with her large bosom, and Yachiyo, who recently had surgery for breat cancer and now must find special bras for her breasts that are two different measurements. The team attempts to help each woman regain their esteem and look more polished.
