I overheard yet another conversation today regarding a particularly fallacy that drives me crazy. A woman was telling another woman that she dresses in baggy, loose-fitting clothing to obscure the bulges and flaws in her figure.
...
'Cause people will assume there's a supermodel under all that fabric?
Um, NO. No, no, NO. Loose clothing will not make you look smaller or smoother. It's EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE. People will assume you're even bigger and chunkier and less shapely than you actually are because all that extra fabric ADDS BULK TO YOU.
Wear fitted. Fitted, fitted, fitted. Fitted always looks better! Fitted gives you a shape while baggy takes it away. Fitted doesn't mean tight, it means it FITS YOU PROPERLY. Do you want to trick people into thinking you are a small, fabric-swaddled BUILDING? OF COURSE YOU DON'T.
ANY SHAPE is better than NO SHAPE AT ALL. GAH.
