That would be unattractive on any body type  It could sort of work. ymmv You aren't wrong about it being the only shape they can wear. It can't go under the fupa so the only thing it can do is to go above it. Plus I'm sure a bunch of them feel as though they're "reclaiming" the style from the 1950s when it was a fashion suited for thinner ladies (in America, anyway). That's why a bunch of them seem to be attempting 1950s-retro clothing: it's the only style that's suited for them (aka. high-waisted bottoms).
