She was very slender, immaculately groomed and stylishly dressed and about 90% legs!!! Well not really but she could have been the woman in this photo as her proportions were quite similar. So there are bodies that are quite different from mine...I have what my husband diplomatically calls "stubby" thighs. He says I am short but mighty. That's why I love him so!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-tell-me-this-photos-been-stretched#post-397690 Thu, 04 Aug 2011 16:29:31 +0000 marianna 397690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hilarious! Thanks for sharing that photo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-tell-me-this-photos-been-stretched#post-397655 Thu, 04 Aug 2011 15:43:56 +0000 NK 397655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How fascinating! </p> <p>I stumbled across the photo yesterday and just thought it looked so bizarre, like she was going to blow over at the slightest hint of a breeze. I know most models are indeed very tall and thin, but this just looked off.</p> <p>Apparently I need to pick up some more cropped cardigans! ;)</p> <p>@modgirl - Really? I always think I look so stumpy in all my photos. I'm short, but not exactly petite in stature.</p> <p>Thanks for humoring me with the analysis everyone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-tell-me-this-photos-been-stretched#post-397469 Thu, 04 Aug 2011 03:59:16 +0000 Diana 397469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was curious and measured a photo of myself and while I am neither as tall nor as slim as this model, our shoulder-waist to waist-feet proportions are the same. Granted, I am very high waisted, but the point is that I don't actually think her proportions are totally out of whack. I think it's rather a combo of optical illusion from the outfit and some weird photoshopping around her rib cage in the photo w/ the bolero (the photo w/o the bolero looks more normal). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-tell-me-this-photos-been-stretched#post-397310 Wed, 03 Aug 2011 23:47:58 +0000 KeepTheKey 397310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I asked my BF, a graphic designer and photoshop expert, and he pointed out that there's a tiny bit of drape to the fabric at her hip, but it doesn't start up again until (roughly) the knee. He agreed that she's probably wearing heels, but that this photo is also doctored. He does this sort of stuff for a living, so I trust him to spot a fake. </p> <p>I would like to add that at 5'7" I have a hard time finding maxi dresses that are long enough. I doubt that this one is THAT long, lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-tell-me-this-photos-been-stretched#post-397227 Wed, 03 Aug 2011 20:49:35 +0000 Atlantia 397227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What, it isn't natural to have one's legs take up over 75% of their body? Reminds me of that photo shoot during the petite season of America's Next Top Model when they had that one girl on stilts and her proportions just looked so off.</p> <p>I'm still waiting for the petite/plus/over30 season of ANTM. I would be so fierce. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-tell-me-this-photos-been-stretched#post-397225 Wed, 03 Aug 2011 20:42:52 +0000 Sparky 397225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Talk about an optical illusion? It does look like the cropped cardi, pose, dress and platform heels stretch her out. Love how Scarlet put it ~ un-anatomical. If all those could give me the illusion of legs like that, I'm buying the whole get-up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-tell-me-this-photos-been-stretched#post-397209 Wed, 03 Aug 2011 20:25:12 +0000 Lori 397209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I believe so. Check her out in this dress. She doesn't appear quite as tall.</p> <p><a href="http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=574453&#038;CategoryID=5449&#038;LinkType=#fn=sp%3D4%26spc%3D936" rel="nofollow">http://www1.macys.com/catalog/.....6spc%3D936</a></p> <p>However, the colorblocking of the dress might be throwing me off too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-tell-me-this-photos-been-stretched#post-397195 Wed, 03 Aug 2011 20:17:22 +0000 Queen Mum 397195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>so actually, when I measured her on my screen, she was 4 inches tall. The half way point which should be the crotch point does hit right at the top of her thumb, which is the same as me. Also, her face (from crown to chin) measures 1/2 inch which is the correct 1/8 of the total height.<br /> It could very well be the cropped cardi that is throwing it off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-tell-me-this-photos-been-stretched#post-397186 Wed, 03 Aug 2011 20:09:31 +0000 Scarlet 397186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That looks un-anatomical to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-tell-me-this-photos-been-stretched#post-397185 Wed, 03 Aug 2011 20:09:20 +0000 Queen Mum 397185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was gonna say, either it's stretched or she's standing on stilts.<br /> Off do do a little scientific study. Be back in a few..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-tell-me-this-photos-been-stretched#post-397183 Wed, 03 Aug 2011 20:05:39 +0000 taylor 397183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How funny! looks like stilts under there:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-tell-me-this-photos-been-stretched#post-397139 Wed, 03 Aug 2011 18:56:44 +0000 bran888 397139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with modgrl, she's totally wearing huge platform heels and I bet she's about 6 feet to begin with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-tell-me-this-photos-been-stretched#post-397131 Wed, 03 Aug 2011 18:41:39 +0000 modgrl 397131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@NK, you don't look very short! I never would have known you were petite from your pictures </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-tell-me-this-photos-been-stretched#post-397127 Wed, 03 Aug 2011 18:40:20 +0000 Girl X 397127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's the cropped cardigan, in the images without the cardigan you get a better idea about where her legs start and then she looks pretty normal for a model in heels. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-tell-me-this-photos-been-stretched#post-397125 Wed, 03 Aug 2011 18:36:10 +0000 modgrl 397125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>She's also wearing 5" heels. She could be 6' tall, 6 1/2 feet in heels! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-tell-me-this-photos-been-stretched#post-397122 Wed, 03 Aug 2011 18:32:55 +0000 RoseandJoan 397122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it is s great pose, one hand on her high hip another hiding her low hip which makes her legs look endless, from the back view where the hips are visible her legs look more relative. I'm sure there has been tonnes of post production on the pic too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-tell-me-this-photos-been-stretched#post-397120 Wed, 03 Aug 2011 18:31:25 +0000 lyn* 397120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ROFL. If her hand is on her hip; I know NO ONE with legs like that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-tell-me-this-photos-been-stretched#post-397109 Wed, 03 Aug 2011 18:21:28 +0000 rute 397109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>eh eh she seems to have such long legs!<br /> I'm petite too and I love! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-tell-me-this-photos-been-stretched#post-397101 Wed, 03 Aug 2011 18:18:45 +0000 NK 397101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know all advertising photos have been manipulated a ton, but does this Macy's ad look weird to anyone else?</p> <p><a href="http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=577643&#038;PseudoCat=se-xx-xx-xx.esn_results" rel="nofollow">http://www1.macys.com/catalog/.....sn_results</a></p> <p>Or am I just being overly sensitive about my shortness? </p>
