Do I look fat in this? (Fashion myth uncovered)
How many times have we gone to the mall and stopped at Jc penny to see a woman of size sucking it in? Or have a girl walk past you in the dressing room line with a perfectly good top but she puts it back on the rack anyway? To many to count right? Well if you have a keen eye for fashion like I, you should notice that the shirts that are always on sale and unsold are striped or patterned. And if you are a master eavesdropper, once again, like I, you would see them thinking or hear them asking that famous question: Do I look fat in this?
The answer is NO! A while back some misfit who didn't look good in stripes herself told the lie, which is now a myth, that stripes make you look fat. On the contrary, dear Watson, stripes make you look slimmer, sometimes even curvy(and you know how many looks that getes you). Beware of the so called "proffesionals" or "trend-setters". They'll belittle or say something is "out" just to enhance or make they're trends "in". So before you throw out the stripes or put away those patterns please look in a mirror once more and notice the curves, not the invisible celulite!

No, I think it's horizontal stripes that make you look "fat." But I also think it's only really wide horizontal stripes, and the "fat" effect is more pronounced when there's lots of contrast between the colours of stripes.
In conclusion, prison jumpsuits are not slimming...
