For thinking this model’s arms must have been photoshopped

No one has arms this thin, surely?

It’s the first dress on the page I meant.

Well photoshopping is standard practice now.

As long as you understand that what you are looking at is really a PICTURE as opposed to a PHOTOGRAPH then where's the harm?

tectonicplates · 25/12/2019 10:56

Definitely Photoshopped, but more importantly that whole site looks dodgy. It looks like a similar setup to Shein.

bruffin · 25/12/2019 10:57

They tend to use the same picture and photoshop the different colours available.
There was a post on here the other say where someone put up a photo of themselves which was clearly photoshopped , lottie lion on the apprentice also photoshopped her own photos on sm.
I suspect more photos on line are photoshopped than not.

That model look like she may be Chinese.

I work with a lot of Chinese nationals and, yes, some do have arms that thin.

PhoneLock · 25/12/2019 11:13

looks like

Genzeee · 25/12/2019 11:30

It looks like a normal arm Confused

NothingIsGoing2GetBetterItsNot · 25/12/2019 11:49

She actually looks completely computer generated (CGI) not just the arm! Are your site she's a real person...?!

And no that arm doesn't look real IMO to answer your question!

NothingIsGoing2GetBetterItsNot · 25/12/2019 11:50

Actually I take it back - jay looked at the other pictures! 😂

ManiacalLapwing · 25/12/2019 11:57

It looks like a normal arm Yep, does to me too.

cavabiensepasser · 25/12/2019 11:59

It's a perfectly normal arm.

JustASmallTownCurl · 25/12/2019 12:08

Looks like a normal arm for someone thin to me?

IhateBoswell · 25/12/2019 12:11

Yeah it looks weird Barbie-esque to me too.

HavelockVetinari · 25/12/2019 12:11

She looks Chinese or Korean, some of the very petite girls do have arms that thin yet are healthy.

I used to have arms like that but I was anorexic.

JamieVardysHavingAParty · 25/12/2019 15:00

The more I look at it, the more convinced I become that she's not real. It's like words suddenly looking entirely wrong on the page after over-using them. Grin

The edge of her upper arm is as straight as a ruler, and she's impeccably, aesthetically posed. I think some photoshopping has happened.

missyB1 · 25/12/2019 15:08

It’s not a real photo, looks very much like a computer generated image.

KylieKoKo · 25/12/2019 15:27

"It just looks like a normal arm"

"I could never eat that much"

"I'm 4 inches rase and a stone lighter and not skinny in the slightest"

AJGranny · 25/12/2019 15:30

I also don't think it's a real person. CGI or similar.

ChristmasFluff · 25/12/2019 18:04

The whole linked page is full of really bad photoshop jobs.

I feel sad for all the people who think thin arms look like that. Even when you are thin, you have bones that mean your arms don't look that shape.

ChristmasFluff · 25/12/2019 18:07

And look how bloody long her forearm is!!! Honestly, sit back, cross your legs, and see where your forearm ends.

Her hands would be dangling by her knees if she stood up. Kudos to all those whose thin arms look like that, cos you must have been through hell as a child.

JamieVardysHavingAParty · 25/12/2019 18:11

Yikes, I didn't notice the length of her arms. Shock

It's the width of her elbow joint, or rather the lack of it, that drew my attention.

GrumpyHoonMain · 25/12/2019 18:13

Chinese and Korean women tend to have blockier upper bodies which is why most of the cheaper East Asian brands (like this one presumably) that can’t afford models, use photoshop when trying to appeal to the international market. Indian companies often do the same.

koshkat · 25/12/2019 18:14

She is mannequin no? Def not real.

Auridon4life · 25/12/2019 18:19

That site looks like it has internet cancer and will give you a virus/won't sell you what you want. Don't buy anything from there. Worse than wish

KatherineJaneway · 25/12/2019 18:21

Looks like a normal arm to me of a very slim woman.
