During the 1000-Lb Best Friends Season 3 finale, Dr. Procter invited the bariatric support group to a luncheon to celebrate their achievements.

To get ready for the special occasion, the women of the friend group decided to meet with a stylist. They admitted they weren’t quite sure how to dress for their size and sport a flattering look.

But did the stylist really help?

1000-Lb Best Friends Fans Didn’t Appreciate The Stylist’s Tips

During this season of 1000-Lb Best Friends, viewers watched the friend group struggle with style and fitting in. Scott and Vannessa went shopping together but quickly realized Scott couldn’t fit into most of the items for sale.

The gang hoped meeting with a stylist could help improve their wardrobe. But most viewers didn’t think she was very helpful in the end.

“I Have to Be Honest…” a Reddit user posted online after the season finale wrapped up. “The latest episode showed a stylist helping the ladies to find new fashions and colors that complemented them. BUT, in my opinion, what a fail. The stylist and her team looked GREAT, don’t get me wrong. They were plus-sized women celebrating their bold pageant aesthetic. I loved their looks. On them.”

The OP went on to point out that they didn’t personally feel like the stylist took each woman’s shape into consideration. They dressed Vannessa as a plus-sized woman even after she had skin removal surgery and was well under 200 pounds. The OP also felt that the stylist failed to choose appropriate looks for a nice luncheon, instead opting for a “club” look.

“That’s what I think. I don’t think this stylist served them well at all. They say it is all about Confidence™️ but I think delusional ‘confidence’ is not an asset. It should be about Actual Realistic Style that actually flatters their coloring and bodies. What do others think?” the OP concluded their post. 

Viewers Overwhelmingly Didn’t Like The Luncheon Looks

Other Redditors readily sided with the OP, noting they also didn’t find the new outfits very flattering. Reddit users wrote:

  • I mostly agree. It was almost as if they were given a size and just picked out any ol thing. Meghan did not fit that skirt very well. Instead of finding things to fit them, I feel like they just shoved it on them. How do you not take someone’s body shape into account when dressing them. I think Tina looked the best.”
  • The outfits were all atrocious! I could have done better at the Gap or Old Navy. It was way too over the top.”
  • I agree. They could have styled them nicely and used shapewear- but wrapping them all in body con 2 sizes too small causing them to have to waddle when they walk- like where are they supposed to wear that?”
