according to students in a “Multicultural Perspectives on the Body and Dress” class at Washington State University taught by Linda Bradley. “That’s pretty much what models look like,” said Bradley, a professor and curator in the Department of Apparel, Merchandising, Design and Textiles.Ten years ago, the ideal woman was size 4; 20 years ago, size 8; and 50 years ago, thanks to Marilyn Monroe, size 12. “So the ideals are getting harder and harder to reach,” Bradley said. “Body image is a huge problem in America, and the reason is that our ideals are so unbelievable”/
