Duck 'vanity sizing' sometime.
- learc83 8y agoGoogle 'average mannequin size'. The average female mannequin is underweight, not overweight. One study did a survey and found that 100% of the female mannequins they examined represented a clinically underweight woman. Vanity sizing is a thing because female sizing completely arbitrary and stores want to make women feel better about their weight. If anything this is evidence that fat acceptance hasn't caught on--if it had, people wouldn't be ashamed to wear a larger size. Regardless, I'll say it again--the fact that overweight people exist says nothing about the assertion that many people believe that being overweight is healthy. 1. https://jeatdisord.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s40337-017-0142-6 https://jeatdisord.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s40337... This 2017 study did a survey and found that 100% of the female mannequins they examined represented an underweight woman.
