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):

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.



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. 🙁
