    Actually I often think shop windows do make you look fat because they cut you off mid calf and so you lose the lengthening effect (sort of like taking off a nice pair of heels) :D

    Also the wind makes the glass flex and it can act like a "fun house" mirror.

    I prefer Cocos for the sameish prices, but both are pretty good :D

    I findi if I'm in the mood to buy but poor - La Senza and Primark both do nice copies of stuff from AP and other places for really cheap prices - yes it isnt silk, but its for a while to take the shopping urge away :p
