    So which one is supposed to be the good one? Her body looks identical to me in all three photos.

      Really? To my eyes, the vertical stripes are unflattering, the horizontal stripes accentuate her figure in a good way, and the diagonal stripes make her look somewhat slimmer

      There’s this old propaganda that horizontal stripes make you look “fat,” e.g. bad, and vertical stripes have the opposite effect, thinning, e.g. good. This is harmful rhetoric, as it encourages women to overprioritize looking thin.

      It is true that the horizonal stripe dress accentuates the curves, whereas the vertical stripes diminish them. But the values ascribed to these features are ass-backward. Curvy is good! Love the horizontal stripes personally.

        I don’t think anyone here is against the horizontal stripes. The vertical ones don’t make her look fat, they just totally obfuscate her figure and make her look shapeless
