What the hell is going on in this picture?

The other pictures of the dress are nice but the lead picture? Could they have chosen a more unflattering shot??

That does look very odd

PermanentTemporary · 12/04/2022 22:27

That has to be a photoshop fail...

IEatChocolateForBreakfast · 12/04/2022 22:29

Oh dear. That's bad 😂

I suppose she'll be "never fully dressed"

Ratsindahouse · 12/04/2022 22:44

It must be photoshop because the other breast looks much higher up!! But why? Just baffled as to how they did not spot this before putting on the website. It popped up on my fb feed as the first picture and just thought what on earth…

That’s not her breast low down, that’s her ribs! Her breast is where you would expect it to be.

The photo does make you do a bit of a double take, which is one reason why it’s a good choice for selling a dress. It gives off lots of floaty, carefree vibes. The retailer is selling a lifestyle, not just a dress!

TheChurchOfEli · 13/04/2022 09:23

Yeah you can see her breast higher but the shadows are playing tricks so it looks like she’s got a big ol’ pancake boobie low down. Why they thought this was good enough to advertise the dress is baffling

bellaiceberg · 13/04/2022 13:33

Yes it's shadow play, creating an odd sort of depth disturbance which due to contrast makes the dark segments look too 'deep' compared to the highlights on the skin - hence the 3D effect distortion. I would also attribute this to a horribly fitting garment that is far too large for the model. I'd sack the stylist here rather than the photographer Grin

Aquamarine1029 · 13/04/2022 13:35

My brain doesn't understand what I'm looking at. Confused

feedyourheed · 13/04/2022 14:35

Maybe it's a 'This side is how the dress looks at 22 years old and this side is how the dress looks at 60 years old' photo.

Totally bizarre optical illusion otherwise.

Notarealmum · 16/04/2022 08:28

Ooh, that’s a real trompe l’oeil!!

Fizbosshoes · 16/04/2022 08:34

@Aquamarine1029 me either!!Blush

It’s a not very flattering picture of a flat chested model in a loose dress.

SoupDragon · 16/04/2022 10:00

Yes, it's a weird effect caused by the shadows making it look like the worst photoshop fail ever seen.

It is like one of those Magic Eye pictures. Sometimes I can see what it is meant to be but then it's gone and all I see is a slumped blurred mess 😂

glinner4prez · 16/04/2022 18:33

Bewwwbs!

ABitOfAShitShow · 16/04/2022 18:58

😂😂😂

Took me reading these comments to finally work out what is going on!

Bizarre choice of shot.

LizBennet · 16/04/2022 19:00

Yeah one pendulous breast but not enough room for it (or another one) 👀

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 16/04/2022 19:03

I still can't work it out 🤦🏻‍♀️

TheCanyon · 16/04/2022 19:08

The actual website pictures aren't very flattering either. IwAR19Bn3BigSnoj1aFv8yw_5nWtWAjXYLJd2xasVRgjkNGu8qEWEmB9mnOm8

TheCanyon · 16/04/2022 19:13

@teaandtoastwithmarmite this picture of a different model wearing it makes it a bit clearer what's going on.

doadeer · 16/04/2022 20:50

I think that's a weird photoshop as the model's breasts can't be that large

Binkybix · 17/04/2022 01:33

I don’t get the problem with the photo. Why can’t I see it?!

LetitiaLeghorn · 17/04/2022 01:54

😂😂😂😂

I know everyone else is getting it but I just can't see it. I can't see the line deligniating the bottom of her breast. It just looks like a huge hanging thing. OMG, it looks like mine. 🙈

Zazdar · 17/04/2022 09:44

It isn’t her breast. Her breasts are above that, fully covered by the dress.
