Too big or too small? (nsfw)

More hot skinny chicks from the Roaring 20s here

The skinny look came in towards the end of WWI - until then buxom was the bare minimum and voluptuous was the ideal. I've read that the rationing during the war kind of forced this ... but this doesn't explain why it stuck on for so long.

It's not high art. It's clothes.
If you can only make clothes as art then you need to drape them on a few sticks and show them in a gallery. Or admit you are making performance art.

If you want to make clothes for women then at least acknowledge the size and shape you are creating for. I'm not saying make clothes for fat birds. Just for healthy women.

And don't think all healthy women are 5'11" and weigh less than 100lb.

I wonder how many fashion designers fit into sample sizes?

This, doubled.

I've seen an interview with some fashion designer, pushing the line that they have to use super-thin models because their clothes look best on such bodies.

In that case, sir, you are doing a shithouse job of designing clothes. If they need to be worn by an extreme bodyshape to look good, you've done a bad job.
