Sorry Ladies! Horizontal Stripes DO Make You Look Fat!

Not that Rose McGowan looks fat, but then again, she's a celebrity and not a real person…

So, just when we thought it was safe to wear horizontal stripes, a new study shows that despite what fashion experts have said over the past few years, the look actually DOES make you look fat.

After several experiments showing 2D line drawings of women with the same exact proportions wearing both horizontal and vertical stripes, it appeared that women looked thinner wearing horizontal…. in 2D!

However, when it comes to 3D, findings proved that vertical stripes make women look taller and leaner while horizontal makes them appear wider.

So sad!!

The one good thing to come out of the study though was that it was proven by fashion students that wearing black still makes you the absolute slimmest so at least we've still got that….
