From the Paper:

"The clothing industry utilizes forecasting methods that contain both assumptions and past data. Clothing styles change on a regular basis and rely on one constant, what is pleasing to the public's eye. Over the past few decades clothing styles focus on the amount of skin that is reviled and how the cloths show off the body's figure. Many people feel that wearing a certain outfit they saw in a magazine or commercial will look just as good on themselves. In other words: the clothes make the person. Some people believe that people who are obese or have very bad skin should not be wearing garments such as mini-skirts, plunging neck lines, shorts or mid-drifts. "
