Just simple facts. Honestly, I would love to see more fashion shows that feature shorter women and older women, too. It's kind of hard to picture oneself in some of the styles when you only get to see them on tall, willowy 20-somethings. Let's see how they would look on people who look like us.
Very true! And women with hips, as well.

Most people engage in some form of risky behavior or make decisions that negatively affect their health.

Besides poor diet,

Drinking
Unprotected sex
Smoking
Lack of exercise
Drugs (legal and/or illegal)
Riding motorcycle without a helmet
Lack of health care
Refusal to have yearly checkups

Do you berate all people who engage in such unhealthy activities--and accuse them of making your insurance rates go up?

Or do you just like to pick on fat people?

My point is that aspiring to be unhealthy, and actually celebrating it is an excuse for being lazy. It is not something people should hold in high regard. That's all.

I don’t know how true it is. But my intuition would be that if overweight women buy more clothes, it‘s because they have a harder time finding clothes that fit well, so they often settle for something that doesn’t - and still keep looking for something that does.

And women with C and larger cups. I get tired of shoulder seams hanging half-way down to my elbows.

Women can be curvy, and not be over weight, nor "obese". I don't like super thin runway models as much as a women with curves either. The reason designers use these models is that it is easier for their clothing to fit, and look like they want.

Which has zero to do with fashion. Try to stay on topic?
