[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another great understated dress that is doing everything right for the wearer. Phoebe Waller-Bridge in Dolce. I think she is among the best "bob and red lip" in the game, though Michelle Williams has also been rocking that styling for years really well.

Disagree. She has no curves, so this straight dress isn’t flattering.

She doesn't need curves. She's tall with gorgeous shoulders and striking features. Not everyone is trying to look like the same ideal. It's okay for people to look like perfect versions of themselves.[/quote]

She looks like a teenage boy in a dress. There’s no real waist and she doesn’t have hips. It’s really unflattering. Her look is all forehead and flatness. [/quote]

Agree to disagree. I think you just don't like her body type, which is fine, but it's not her job to make her body look different than it is. Like I don't look at a really busty actress and think "wow that dress does not sufficiently flatten her chest enough -- you can tell she has big boobs." Your body is your body.[/quote]
Well said, PP. She looks beautiful here, and she’s under no obligation to look like Barbie. PP is a sad, strange little fashion victim. [/quote]

Most people realize you must embrace your body and dress it appropriately. You play up your best features, and you strategically select styles to accent or mitigate other features. The dress was a miss. If Fashion Police was still around, I’m sure they would have said she has a terrific slender frame and a statuesque body but she should have worn something to create a waist and the illusion of curves.

You are right that's what the Fashion Police would have said. They also would have fat shamed a lot of size 8 actresses. That type of fashion criticism has been rightly criticized for constantly asking women to "hide" the natural shape of their bodies in search of an ideal that essentially doesn't exist.

You are of course entitled to your opinion, and if you don't like it, that's fine. But what we are saying is that I could care less that this dress makes her look flat chested and straight up and down. In fact, I kind of like that it does -- that is what her body looks like and it's part of her charm, IMO. [/quote]

I'm laughing at this because as someone who loved ballet, that flat-chested straight look was always my goal. To this day I don't think a woman needs generous "curves" to be beautiful. We have learned to celebrate bodies that would once have been called vulgar. Why can't we celebrate bodies all along the spectrum?[/quote]

+1 from a flat chested woman who has seen way too many comments shaming women for lacking curves. Critiquing women goes in all directions, you have to have curves, not too many, not too little, and if you fall outside the spectrum, you must dress in a way that casts the illusion that you have the ideal.[/quote]
