Skinny?
7:26"Does this dress make me look fat?" Is it really the dress? Is the dress supposed to make you look skinny? That's a lot a pressure to put on a piece of clothing. I personally don't understand why something is supposed to make you look differently. You read all these articles about having to love your body the way it is because it gives you confidence and makes you more secure in yourself. Then you go on a fashion website and you start reading all about the dresses that can make you look better than you actually do. Isn't that a bit hypocritical? Telling young women that they should appreciate the way they look just so you can them tell them to wear certain clothes so that they can create the illusion that they look differently.
I am, of course, not saying that everyone should wear everything. I believe that everyone should wear whatever they feel comfortable in. I am just discussing something that has been confusing me for a while. If you visit the Cosmopolitan website, you will inevitably read the articles that tell you to love yourself. And usually righ after them, you see then ones that tell you how to wear shape underwear that will help you fit in a dress that is too small for that body you should supposedly love. I must admit my body is kinda confused- should it be loved or should it be stuffed into shape wear?
