Hey, Whats with the stripes???

Becoming a larger women as I become older, I would just like to know, WHO in the world thinks its ok to put horizional stripes on shirts for women with a goddess figure????? Also why would one want to wear size 18 pants with a low waist??? I dont know about you, but being a size 18 with low rise pants gives that belly a good chance of rolling out into the world!! OMG!!!! I LIKE pants above my belly button please. Just my thoughts.
