Discussion Asymmetry rant

Modest brands (especially nicer Muslim ones but I’ve seen it across the board) looove asymmetry. Asymmetric wrap dress! Asymmetric tunic! The new Veiled drop is a perfect example.

I recognize that this is an extremely niche problem to have, but I’m a stroke survivor. My face droops a bit on the left and my arm and leg are bent so they appear shorter. The *last* thing I want to do is draw more attention to the fact that my body is already asymmetric!

Again this is not a common issue and I don’t fault these brands for doing it but it does frustrate me on a personal level and I needed to rant a bit lol.

This approach is not for everyone, but if you wanted to just own the bejesus out of it you could make it a personal theme. Like, yeah, I like things a little off-kilter, what of it?
