This is an update to my previous post as I was surfing around, as you do and came across the blog, Swing Fashionista and the Marina Diamandis in Eudon Choi post and lo and behold the lady is in a gorgeous green dress whose fabric swaths her curves beautifully. Then I scroll down.... same dress.... different person.... skinny model and boy what a difference that makes!

The difference smacked me in the face like a wet fish. This dress looks awful on her and it is a promotional shot but as you can see from my previous post it certainly does show the dress... You can see the line of the dress, the angle of the gathering, the width of the shoulders, drape (or should I say drop in this photo) of the fabric. Then when you look at the first photo, you don't necessarily see the draping or its angles but you see how beautiful the fabric drapes the body, it is almost as if the body and dress do a vulcan mind meld to become one. Unlike the promo shot were you 'see' a model wearing a dress.
I hope from these two pictures you can see what I'm talking about, how skinny = dress wears the person, curvy = person wears the dress and serious vavavoomability!
Also, hopefully I will make you feel a little better about not having a size 6/8 body, next time you get dress you'll know that it is you that is making the outfit and not the outfit going it alone...
Enjoy your curves, they are a blessing that take you far, far away from being a coathanger.

How true hon, and you have illustrated your point beautifully. The model looks like she's forgotten to take the dress off the hangar...

Thanks sweetie, it's a theory i've had for years, started to formulate it when i was at uni but it seems ever more so apt now. Plus the fact that there is starting to be a backlash to the skinnys by the increasing interest in the golden years in terms of style and fashion which so needs those lush curves! lol
Doesn't she just, shows she really is just a coat hanger lol!
