Vertical or Horizontal Stripes Clothing

There is this rule where curvy girls should stick to up and down stripes, which elongate the figure, and shun “widening” side to side stripes.

Peter Thompson, an expert in perception in York University’s psychology department asked people to compare more than 200 pairs of pictures of women wearing horizontally and vertically striped dresses, then he asked them to vote for which of the two looked fatter.

Surprisingly, his experiment showed that when the two women were the same size, the one wearing the horizontally striped dress looked thinner than the vertical.

Dr Thompson says: “Horizontal stripes don’t make you look fat. If anything, they make you look thinner.”

However, My feeling is still the same. I still believe that horizontal stripes clothing will make you look fatter and vertical stripes clothing makes you look thinner.  Here are some pictures of vertical and horizontal stripes clothing, and you decide which stripes makes you look fatter?!
