I may have invented a term by accident. While watching Shark Tank recently, I noticed the “Queen of QVC,” Lori Greiner, was wearing a dress with a bodice in a rounded contrasting color. Of course it looked great on her, but I realized that the particular piece of the dress on the front created an interesting illusion. Narrow on top and rounded on both sides at the bottom, it looks more like an inverted heart with the point a bit wider, but I commented to those watching with me (before I could stop myself), “She looks like she has chesticles.”
Sorry, Lori. Nobody wants to be remembered as having an upper half which reminds people of the lower half of the opposite gender. But the term is official, and I did it.
Naturally the designer didn’t intend the dress to look like that. Probably the design is meant to draw the eye above the waist. Obviously my mind was elsewhere. Way down elsewhere.
At least I was paying attention to the dress. And Lori looked great in it.
