Ep 12. Disa

Disa is the twelfth episode of the eighth season of the popular makeover show, What Not To Wear. In this episode, fashion experts Stacy London and Clinton Kelly take on the challenge of transforming the style and confidence of a woman named Disa.

Disa, a 32-year-old mother of two, has always had a knack for putting others before herself. As a dedicated wife and mother, she has spent most of her time focusing on her family's needs, leaving little time or energy to invest in her own appearance. As a result, Disa has fallen into a fashion rut, wearing the same outdated and frumpy clothes day in and day out.

Stacy and Clinton, armed with their wit and impeccable fashion sense, start the episode by secretly observing Disa's wardrobe and style choices. Disa's closet is filled with ill-fitting clothes, faded colors, and an overwhelming amount of chunky and shapeless sweaters. It's clear that she has lost touch with her personal style and lacks the confidence to take fashion risks.

Upon sharing their observations, Stacy and Clinton decide it's time to intervene and give Disa the makeover of a lifetime. They surprise her with the news that she has been nominated for the show and is the lucky candidate chosen to receive a head-to-toe transformation. Disa is initially shocked and apprehensive, but with a little coaxing, she agrees to embark on this fashion journey.

The first step in Disa's transformation is the daunting task of cleaning out her old wardrobe. With Stacy and Clinton's guidance, she begins to let go of the outdated clothes that have been weighing her down both physically and emotionally. It's a cathartic experience for Disa as she starts to realize the impact that her new wardrobe will have on her overall confidence and self-image.

Next, Disa meets with hairstylist Ted Gibson who transforms her lackluster hair into a modern and flattering style. Disa is astounded by the change and can already feel her self-esteem soaring.

With her new hairdo, Disa heads to the famous What Not To Wear fashion closet where Stacy and Clinton help her select a stylish and versatile new wardrobe that suits her body type and reflects her personality. The fashion duo emphasizes the importance of flattering silhouettes, bold colors, and incorporating trendy pieces to update Disa's style.

Throughout the episode, Disa faces a few challenges and moments of doubt. She is hesitant to embrace certain trends and worries about her ability to maintain her new style beyond the show's duration. However, Stacy and Clinton provide ongoing support and encouragement to help Disa overcome her reservations and step out of her comfort zone.

In the final reveal, Disa's family and friends gather to witness her incredible transformation. When Disa walks out in her new outfit, the room erupts in applause and tears of joy. Disa is almost unrecognizable – she exudes confidence, radiance, and undeniable style.

As the episode comes to a close, Disa reflects on her journey and the impact it has had on her life. She shares how the makeover has not only transformed her appearance but also her mindset. Disa now sees the value in prioritizing herself and the importance of self-care. With her newfound style and confidence, she is ready to take on the world and continue to prioritize herself while still being a loving wife and mother.

Disa's transformation in this episode of What Not To Wear is a testament to the power of fashion and its ability to empower individuals. It serves as a reminder that by investing in ourselves, we can transform not only our outward appearance but also our inner selves.
