Don’t get the hysteria over that LC question tbh, don’t we all choose clothes/colours to flatter our shape irrespective of size? Stefanie Preissner has little to worry her. 🙄

Exactly! 🙄🙄 I've never eye rolled as much over this shite. Stephanie Preissner seems to be another woke pain in the hole, who ever it was that decided she was an authority on absolutely frickin everything needs to be strung up.

I can never look st Stephanie Preissner the same way after learning how her and her husband got together!
 
I don’t see how anyone could think the Department of Education asking 17 year olds about wearing certain colours to flatter body shape is anything other than outrageous. No one needs to wear anything to “flatter” their body shape much less 17 year olds and to have that narrative coming from mute Dept of Ed is shocking imo. duck off with flattering body shapes with colour. People can wear whatever they want whether it’s “flattering” or not.

it’s a valid question in relation to textiles. It’s like been offended by a geography question!

No it’s not, it’s not appropriate to be discussing people’s body shapes.

My interpretation of that had nothing to do with weight, which seems to be what everyone seems to be latching on to, but more to do with long legs/short torso or vice versa. You can be 7 stone or 17 stone and still have a long torso or short legs and vice versa, and colour can help balance that out. Nothing to do with weight.


Yes, absolutely people should wear what they want but every fashion student up and down the country would fail their courses if they decided that structure, shape, and colour was irrelevant to fashion and the relationship with the body.


If people are as offended as they're making out, the issue isn't the question in the paper, it's an issue with fashion/design overall.


There's a permanently offended brigade out there and it must be exhausting. **The context of how the content to answer that question is taught is key**. If its "vertical stripes will make a wide person look wider" then yes, that's an issue, but if it's about the use of colour and tone with skin and hair colour etc to not wash people out, then that's absolutely fine.

Louise has always been very vocal about the high street not catering to bigger bodies but there's a point where I feel she's often just picking for a fight or something to be offended by.

These are home ec students, not fashion students.
There should not be a question about “flattering” body shapes on a leaving cert paper. Nobody’s body needs to be flattered, people should be allowed to just exist in their bodies as they are without having to flatter their bodies to suit others.

Home ec covers a lot more than just baking scones and sewing a pillowcase...

It’s not framed as being about textiles and I think this has been widely pointed out on Twitter.

You lost me at Twitter, home of the biggest joyless drains of all. If they’re jumping all over it you know for sure it’s a storm in a teacup. Clothing is typically worn to flatter, otherwise we’d all be in burlap sacks. 🤨 This perpetual nonsensical nitpicking is exhausting, in this case especially!
