From the Lane Bryant catalog:Ahh, nothing says "crass" like dots. Big dots. Small dots. Ginormous dots. Doesn't matter. That pattern just smacks of some twisted conversation going on in some fashionista's design salon.
"Let's do something really EVIL today. What's the worst pattern we can come up with for some fat cow?"
"Just fat or morbidly obese?"
"Doesn't matter. We can sell anything as long as we get the right model."
"Hmmmm .... how about horizontal stripes?"
"No ... too simple. We need something more elaborate ... we couldn't even get away with THAT..."
"Dots? Multi-colored dots?"
"Not gross enough ..."
"What about spots? Huge dots?"
"Mmmmm .... intriguing ... keep going ..."
"Huge geometric spots in different colors. Make the eyes notice the horrible pattern on the schmatta before they see the fat body it's hiding. Sort of like a psychedelic buffalo."
"I like it. What color scheme are you thinking of?"
"Black and white?"
"Too stark - that won't sell in Hicksville USA - we need something else. Something to grab the eye..."
"Yellow? Lime green? Purple?"
"YES! Purple! Just like overweight royalty! Have you seen "Wall-E?" What about fabric?""Poly and spandex!"
"Perfect!"
This model looks either bored or terribly embarrassed ... but then again, who wouldn't be burning with shame wearing something like this?
