Dresscue Me is a reality television show that originally aired on Planet Green. The show centres around Shareen Mitchell, a vintage clothing expert and founder of Shareen Vintage in Los Angeles. Shareen is tasked with helping people revamp their wardrobes and make them more sustainable while still looking fashionable. The show aims to promote eco-friendly fashion and give viewers a different perspective on the clothing industry.

Each episode of Dresscue Me typically features one or two clients in need of Shareen's expertise. The clients come from all walks of life, and their reasons for seeking out Shareen's help vary. Some are looking to update their style, some have gone through a significant life change like weight loss or a new job, and some simply want to adopt a more sustainable lifestyle.

Shareen starts each episode by assessing the client's wardrobe and separating their clothing into three piles: keep, donate, and recycle. She then takes the client to her showroom to choose new pieces that will complement their existing wardrobe. Shareen emphasizes the importance of being mindful of the materials and processes used to create each piece of clothing.

After selecting clothing items, there is a fitting session with adjustments and perhaps minor repairs made. Shareen also shares tips on how to style each piece in different ways, making the most out of the client's new purchases.

One of the unique elements of the show is Shareen's emphasis on creating a sustainable wardrobe. Rather than promoting fast fashion, Shareen encourages clients to invest in quality pieces that can last a lifetime. She also recommends recycling and upcycling clothing, rather than throwing them away. Her goal is to teach clients how to dress well without having to sacrifice their love for fashion or the environment.

Dresscue Me takes a compassionate and sensitive approach, with many heartwarming moments showcased between Shareen and her clients. Shareen provides a space where her clients can open up about their insecurities and personal struggles, which makes the show more relatable and engaging.

As the show progresses, viewers can see the evolution of both Shareen's clients and her business. The episodes unfold naturally, with the clients' wardrobe 'before and after' transformations highlighted with side-by-side images. While new episode content ceased production in 2013 when Planet Green shut down, people continue to rely on Shareen's expertise, and her vintage shop maintains continued success.

Overall, Dresscue Me is an inspiring show that encourages viewers to take a more mindful approach when it comes to fashion. Shareen is a true expert in her field, and her passion for vintage clothing is contagious. With heartfelt moments and practical advice, the show is perfect for anyone who wants to embrace sustainable fashion without sacrificing style.
