There was another thread about clothes looking better on you when you're smaller, and I was reminded of this time I went shopping with my sister. She was previously bigger than me, then lost a significant amount of weight so that we now wore the same size. We'd gone shopping and she'd bought a couple dresses, and I asked if I could try one of them on when we got home--I was just curious, I hardly ever wear dresses. (Scaasi, btw.) When I did, I looked much better in it than she did because I had curves. Boy, was she mad
Some designers *do* make their clothes to flatter a woman's body. I haven't worn him lately, but I've previously been really impressed with Michael Kors' fit. Last I knew anyway, he uses three different true-to-life fit models, and drapes in the actual target fabric, no matter how expensive it is. All that work really shows when you put it on.
