Gj. Thanks for demonstrating this picture is bs.
Not same pose. Look at the different size gaps between elbows and body.
When they said the same pose, they just mean they are front facing, arms to the side, as opposed to different positions for each dress. It's pretty darn close. She had to change dresses between shots, so the poses aren't going to be perfectly identical, but they are close enough to make the point that a person looks different depending on the stripes.
Do you really think that extra half inch of daylight between her arm and body somehow faked the result?
The way to do this would be to edit the dress in Photoshop or similar. One picture, three designs and the model is the same in each.

Also the i think the different collars matters. Low No collar, high black collar, high no collar.
Her knees look different on the right aswell
The first one looks like a bottle, the second looks chubbier, and the third looks great.
Very effective demonstration, actually kind of impressive how successful it was.
She has different proportions in each picture. I can't tell if it was three different pictures, or they edited one picture and shaved down some spots depending on the dress.
Yes in the third picture which we all think she looks the best, there's more space between her arms and her body than there are in the other two pictures. They definitely shaved down something so she's thinner in the third picture.
Something feels manipulated about this, but it also feels like the author/photographer went out of their way to make sure you couldn't prove it was manipulated
What you're likely seeing as throwing you off is differences because this is an actual human wearing this - PLUS it's essentially an optical illusion. This isn't 3 versions of the same image with just the pattern changed. So yeah, these are actually not perfectly matching up if you overlay them on top of each other. I wouldn't say manipulated per se, just that they're 3 different images so they'll have some differences.
Yup.
So let's take the body/pose on the right, copy it to all three positions mask the dress only, and overlay only the dress pattern in the same mask to actually show the differences between the patterns only.
This is the kind of high tech solution that people with a closet would never think of. Good job
What if you paint all the white stripes black? That'd be .. mildly interesting.

I agree with you, but if you measure the width of the dress at the tip of her fingers, the left and right are about 99-100 pixels, while the middle one is 105 pixels wide. Her face in all three images is about 38-39 pixels wide (measured at the earlobe), so that rules out they stretched the entire image slightly. But 5 pixels is significant enough to kind of muddy the validity of the OP's message since it no longer rules out all but the appearance of the dress. It sadly happens that sometimes effects are exaggerated, even when there is a real effect at play.
Also, when people are trying to make a point, inadvertently they'll stand differently and have different posture ever so subtly.

If you zoom in and measure distances in pixels you'll see it's manipulated.
I think the biggest difference is the cut of the dress.
Bingo
Look at the amount of visible background inside the elbows. They are each increasing in conforming the body as you move to the right.
I feel this would be better as a Photoshop job. Keep the same base and just change the pattern. I guess it might be hard to have the lines follow the shape of the body though

It’s funny how they also represent an era. Vertical stripes=50s horizontal=90s/early 2000s, slanted =futurama
Razzle dazzle camouflage!
I'm genuinely surprised so many people are familiar with this.
It's something talked about in perception courses/classes.
The lines make it difficult for humans and machines to accurately gauge depth perception.
For humans it's related to mach bands. And the way lateral inhibition works.

I'm genuinely surprised so many people are familiar with this.
It's the Internet. By now, a lot of people have seen photos of those striped WWII ships.

I thought everyone knew that stripes change your perception of something. In this case a lady.
So which one is supposed to be the good one? Her body looks identical to me in all three photos.
Really? To my eyes, the vertical stripes are unflattering, the horizontal stripes accentuate her figure in a good way, and the diagonal stripes make her look somewhat slimmer

Can someone repost this using something other than Imgur? They block the UK and Mullvad (though if someone is using Mullvad and can access it, let me know what server you're using please)
EDIT: nevermind, I can see it through the web version of Lemmy, just not through Sync or Imgur directly

Despite being the same lovely woman, I am infinitely more attracted to her in the horizontal stripes.
The vertical is the worst of them.
Yeah, it kind of makes her look like both a bitch and a burglar.

I have trouble estimating her position, direction and velocity.
