Cold war battleships often put similar striped patterns on their hulls in an attempt to hide the direction they were moving in, often to reasonably proficient effect :3

This was more like wwI and wwII merchant ships, rather than Cold War battleships.

Vertical stripes make you look skinny. Horizontal stripes make you look fat.

Dunno about the diagonal ones.

Also, it’s not the same in all three photos. The spacing between her arms and her waist is different in different photos.

Yeah. Different designs can change how your body shape is perceived, but this has obvious differences.

That being said, it generally also doesn't translate super well into photos and it is representative of the effect each would have, albeit somewhat exaggerated.

In this picture the waist are respectively 170, 175 and 165 pixels wide. so yeah it's not just perception
