True true! It used to be easy to find styles that resonated, and now I just have to dig a bit deeper.
On the topic of manufacturers, I also read that boxy styles can be a cost-cutting technique. Because it's easier than tailoring/tucking or making other adjustments when the human form isn't a simple rectangle.
Size 0 models, too...it's not just about cultural norms or fat shaming, it's also laziness. It's more work to tailor a garment to a curvy figure than a waifish one. (Plus, there's the simplicity of only having to supply one size.) Which isn't hating on anyone who happens to be a size 0 or a boxy shape to begin with! :)
