Oversized Vs. Just Too Big

What did this model do to deserve being drowned in all this fabric by the stylists of the Nordstrom’s catalog?

Poor gal, trying to stand all sideways trying to get a shape going under all that hideola purple ruffle:

The bright blue piping helps create the illusion of shape here, but the dang thing is still just too big!

Look how happy she is now! Someone finally brought her a top in the right size! (I’m pretty sure this is the same model, with better hair and make-up):
finally fits!

Here again, she’s wearing a boxy, oversized jacket but she’s not drowning in it — she’s got on a form-fitting totally cool tank underneath:

Same thing here. Boxy, geometric shape over body-conscious basics = chic. Just too big = frumpy.

  1. Good lordy! That purple number is–unspeakably ugly. It even made that beautiful model look terrible. I have a black and white version of the short yellow coat–loved it, but it does tend to broaden the backside which is not a plus on this plus sized woman. 🙁
