[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The dress Pelosi wears in a multitude of colors is fine for a woman her age, but I think would be too revealing for anyone younger. I don't need my work attire to show my curves in that way, even if they're flattering. My attractiveness should be out of the picture altogether in the workplace. That's why I believe in a 10 or 12 outfits wardrobe of pantsuits, skirtsuits, or matching jacket+dress suit. I'll take off my jacket for the quarterly happy hour, or we we have to move around tables for an event, but otherwise, I just make slight adaptations to men's dress code. 
I do this out of feminism. [/quote]
I feel like this is such a weird take. Pelosi’s outfit isn’t a problem because since she’s old, it’s inherently not sexy, but if she were young, it would be too sexy for work. Either an outfit isn’t work appropriate or it is. How easy it is to sexualize the person in it shouldn’t be a factor.[/quote]
Here is AOC in a dress that is nearly identical to Pelosi's. Despite being fifty years younger than Pelosi, this dress doesn't appear revealing at all and that's mostly [b]because there isn't really anything for it to hug[/b]. It looks different on Pelosi (in part because it's better tailored) because she has curves and presumably did when she was thirty as well. It's still the exact same dress cut. This is the same attitude we see in schools that apply the dress code disproportionally towards developed teens. We need to stop seeing clothes this way because it makes it impossible for [b]women with some semblance of a body[/b] to find chic clothes that aren't considered by some to be NSFW.

This. I would like to wear clothes that don't make me look like a tablecloth but when I do, people (other women almost always) consider it too sexualized when it's basically the same thing they wear but with hips and boobs added (something I can't do anything about). [/quote]

Do you realize how judgmental and hypocritical the bolded above comes across?  Women's bodies come in different shapes and sizes.  Having or not having curves does not determine who has a body or who is feminine or who is a woman.[/quote]
I feel like there’s not a more polite way to make comments that are inherently not the most polite but commentary that’s relevant. [/quote]

:roll: AOC has a good figure and she has normal curves too. She’s just not [b]fat with big, matronly boobs.[/b] That’s why this dress looks good and professional on her. If you’re a bit chunky, this type of dress doesn’t work for you and you go for a different style, get it tailored, etc. No need to look like a tablecloth but it is dumb to wear body hugging sheath dresses when you have big boobs and/or ass.[/quote]
It may be a personal taste thing but I think this kind of dress is best suited to a “thicker” body shape, especially as opposed to other dress shapes that don’t hug the body as well.[/quote]
I feel like this isn't an entirely fair description of Pelosi. Everything is reflected strangely because she's definitely among the oldest people wearing this genre of clothing but I would bet that her body when she first found her "look" (which may even have been at the same weight but older people carry weight differently) was what I would consider the best suited body for a dress like this. Dresses in this shape are flattering for the well endowed and they especially do wonderful things for people with a larger mid section but slim limbs. [/quote]
