Science to Answer Burning Question - Does This Outfit Make My Butt Look Big?
One of the greatest female sartorial dilemmas - 'does my bum look big in this?' - is to be answered by a team of researchers.
Experts are launching what is thought to be the world's first scientific study into how clothing can affect the appearance of the female rear. The team from Heriot Watt University's School of Textiles and Design in Scotland believes the study could have major implications for retailers.
Female volunteers wearing hundreds of different types of clothing will have their rears photographed for the study. Participants will then be asked to look at the pictures to assess how big or small each model's backside appears.
The study will examine how various designs, colours, patterns and fabric types affect perception of bottom size.
Now husbands and boyfriends everywhere will have a new answer to perhaps the most famous of all trap questions. "Well honey, according to the Heriot Watt study, the dark color does have a slimming effect, however that is somewhat countered by the texture of the material." Unfortunately, I don't think the response will have any better impact than current alternatives.

That's so funny it hurts. My personal opinion is that jeans with no back pockets make female butts look larger. They should, therefore, be avoided unless a woman is looking to attract Sir Mix-a-Lot.
"Honey, does my ass look like the side of the house in these pants?"
"No dear, the side of the house is much smaller than that."
Agree with first comment, adding that only people under the age of 12 look good in tapered pants. Do YOU want to look like a pear?
