For years, the fashion gurus have told us that horizontal stripes draw the eye to problem areas, making them look bigger than they actually are. The recent research says it's wrong. The opposite is true: vertical stripes don't make women with curves look slimmer at all: horizontal stripes make you appear thinner.

Vertical stripes have an elongating effect? Actually, it is not the case.

Does my bum look big in this? Handout image issued by Dr Peter Thompson who carried out the research which found the horizontal stripes created an optical illusion that made women appear slimmer

'A black circle on a white background looks smaller than a white circle on a black background."
