I think it's because the slimmer girl doesn't have a narrow waist, so form-fitting clothes meant to show off the mid-section or hips curve just don't look as good on her. She looks great in the pics where she's wearing clothes that are more loose or create the illusion of a narrower waist. Clothes really need to be designed with different body types in mind, it's not just the size that matters. That's why rich/famous people have everything tailored.

Agreed. I think it's more about body type than about weight.

We really don't want to show models of all sizes; extreme anorexia should not be promoted or glorified, nor should obesity. I suppose the curvy one here and her friend both look to be within the range of healthful body fat percentages, but the extreme low and extreme high ends of body fat are dangerous sates of affairs for people to live in and, morally speaking, should not be held up as exemplars. This isn't to 'shame' the very fat or very thin, but to avoid sending confusing, mixed messages, e.g. to a young person who's just had a sobering conversation with their physician about how they're significantly over or underweight.

I think it's alos because the curvy girl is a model. She just 'pops' in the pictures. And she is a stunner, just look at her face.

If you might also notice, some of the clothing choices go better than others with the body style of them. For example, on the curvier woman, oranges, browns, warmer colors, and some pinks and purples work extremely well, and with the slimmer woman, emerald, light green, whites flatter her. Jeans, of course, go with almost anything. They look stunning on both sides. Beiges are beautiful on both of them too. Just as you stated, and I concur, different clothes work on different people. It has to do with your body style, clothing style, and when it all comes down to it, color! :) TL;DR: You're right, but color also factors. See 6, 17, 20, 21, 24 for examples. These are some of my faves.

Same :3

you know I'm jealous as all hell for Miss Curvy..she's overweight, BUT, she's one of the lucky ones that carry it in the RIGHT spots..notice how she still has a FLAT tummy..?? ME, l carry my excess weight in the tummy area so nothing ever looks flattering on me..but as long as my boobs sit out further than my tummy then I'm happy..it's because she doesn't carry it all in the front that the outfits look good on her..yeah, I'm old and I'm jealous..chuckles..

It was a good post, but based on the comments, not the right time. Put a hold on these posts until people can be mature.
