I thought everyone knew that stripes change your perception of something. In this case a lady.
I call shenanigans!
Gj. Thanks for demonstrating this picture is bs.
Her knees look different on the right aswell
Not same pose. Look at the different size gaps between elbows and body.
Also the i think the different collars matters. Low No collar, high black collar, high no collar.
When they said the same pose, they just mean they are front facing, arms to the side, as opposed to different positions for each dress. It’s pretty darn close. She had to change dresses between shots, so the poses aren’t going to be perfectly identical, but they are close enough to make the point that a person looks different depending on the stripes.
Do you really think that extra half inch of daylight between her arm and body somehow faked the result?
The way to do this would be to edit the dress in Photoshop or similar. One picture, three designs and the model is the same in each.
Agreed
Nope, I wouldn’t fully believe it. Actual photos are much more convincing.
I don’t trust any photo manipulation for any reason. I understand that it is often necessary for economic, artistic, or graphic design efficiency, but for things I have to trust, I want real photos.
Computer model with dress (e.g. Unreal Metahuman). Change the material but dimensions stay exactly equal.
Absolutely. When the post is about how things look different based on the patterns chosen, everything we’re looking at has to be the same or we can’t really compare.
This isn’t a peer-reviewed drug study, it’s just a demonstration. Things don’t have to be absolutely perfect to demonstrate the basic concept that the orientation of the stripes makes a difference in perception.
If she was facing front on one pose, sideways for another, and facing backwards for another, I’d agree with you. But three front facing photos, in the same pose, shot from the same distance in the same light, is good enough to demonstrate the difference effectively. I would much rather have this display, over a faked display of the same photo, with the dress patterns applied with AI or something. Then I would doubt the result. But doing it this way convinces me.
If you are demonstrating an optical illusion then the width of the subject must be measurable equal.
I’m sold on the third one being best. Good enough for the Internet.

First one: I better watch out, she’ll call a foul on me
Second one: I better watch out, she’s probably a felon on the run
Third one: I can’t watch out because I don’t know where she is
Why the hell do horizontal stripes make you look thicker?
Because our brains are dumb
So which one is supposed to be the good one? Her body looks identical to me in all three photos.
Really? To my eyes, the vertical stripes are unflattering, the horizontal stripes accentuate her figure in a good way, and the diagonal stripes make her look somewhat slimmer
I see a perfect hourglass figure in all three pics, with just the right amount of curves.
There’s this old propaganda that horizontal stripes make you look “fat,” e.g. bad, and vertical stripes have the opposite effect, thinning, e.g. good. This is harmful rhetoric, as it encourages women to overprioritize looking thin.
It is true that the horizonal stripe dress accentuates the curves, whereas the vertical stripes diminish them. But the values ascribed to these features are ass-backward. Curvy is good! Love the horizontal stripes personally.
I don’t think anyone here is against the horizontal stripes. The vertical ones don’t make her look fat, they just totally obfuscate her figure and make her look shapeless
It’s a classic old saying. Women of my generation grew up hearing it and being shamed for wearing horizontal stripes.
No one is saying vertical makes people look fat. If anything, it makes then look frumpy, uncomfortable and awkward.
Something feels manipulated about this, but it also feels like the author/photographer went out of their way to make sure you couldn’t prove it was manipulated
I think the biggest difference is the cut of the dress.
Bingo
Look at the amount of visible background inside the elbows. They are each increasing in conforming the body as you move to the right.
What you’re likely seeing as throwing you off is differences because this is an actual human wearing this - PLUS it’s essentially an optical illusion. This isn’t 3 versions of the same image with just the pattern changed. So yeah, these are actually not perfectly matching up if you overlay them on top of each other. I wouldn’t say manipulated per se, just that they’re 3 different images so they’ll have some differences.
The dress, it’s power grows.
Yup.
So let’s take the body/pose on the right, copy it to all three positions mask the dress only, and overlay only the dress pattern in the same mask to actually show the differences between the patterns only.
Why can’t I see your picture? Is it the app I am using?
Might be blocking embedded pictures or not loading pictures from other instsnces? All just guesses.
used lemmy.zip’s CDN, what’s your favorite image site, i’ll copy it over
What if you paint all the white stripes black? That’d be … mildly interesting.
This is the kind of high tech solution that people with a closet would never think of. Good job
I agree with you, but if you measure the width of the dress at the tip of her fingers, the left and right are about 99-100 pixels, while the middle one is 105 pixels wide. Her face in all three images is about 38-39 pixels wide (measured at the earlobe), so that rules out they stretched the entire image slightly. But 5 pixels is significant enough to kind of muddy the validity of the OP’s message since it no longer rules out all but the appearance of the dress. It sadly happens that sometimes effects are exaggerated, even when there is a real effect at play.
Also, when people are trying to make a point, inadvertently they’ll stand differently and have different posture ever so subtly.
Yeah, for sure. When I did the overlay I noticed the hands didn’t match up, so I had to look close at the pose to see it’s 3 different images with 3 different real dresses. Sort of defeats the purpose of doing this entirely.
If you zoom in and measure distances in pixels you’ll see it’s manipulated.

And only now I get it. TIL, thanks!
You’re the real hero, here.
I have trouble estimating her position, direction and velocity.

Brb tossing out any horizontal stripes I have left from my closet.
Wait what about flannel? The stripes are perpendicular, so would they cancel each other out?🤔
Flannel’s plaid disrupts any curves so it’s pretty good for covering up bellies in particular. A big reason I’m a fan of the season of flannel (plus scarfs are nice, too).
Plaid is great in all seasons. I have many pearl snap plaid shirts ranging from thick and warm flannel to super thin beach flannel to just the cotton shirts.
The horizontal stripes look the best…
Horizontal lines are known to do that but I think the photos aren’t equivalent either way. If you cover the dress up or shoulders down, the middle one has a bigger gap between her legs and wider face without being able to see the stripes from what I see.
Ah I see it now. You can also tell by looking at the gap differences between her waist and arms.
Loading it into an editor she has about an inch less per hip in the diagonal picture. Its pretty significant.
Horizontal stripes actually look great on a skinny person. Or any person, if the pattern is good by itself — while these black/white stripes aren’t really a shining example of that (though they would work on a twig-shaped heroine in a 60s French new-wave film).
Vertical stripes are typically boring imo.
