Fat Fashion: Hi-Lo? F*ck No!

in #plus-size8 years ago

I've been noticing a trend lately where bigger girls have been opting for the "hi-lo" trend. These shirts and dresses are high in front and lower in back. Just one thing to say about: Stop it, ladies. This is not a good choice for OUR special body types. The high fronts accentuate your larger belly and draw attention to your middle. It also highlights any abdominal bulge you might have AND makes your frame look wider. 

There is absolutely no benefit to a hi-lo garment for women who are larger, but I'm happy to look over any evidence to the contrary. Post it below. The following are just a few of the reasons I feel this way:

Both of those shirts would have been much cuter had they not been hi-rise in front. 

A workable alternative?
