Already Skinnier Than Original
Unfortunately I see that Venus in this drawing is already thinner (more "modelesque" by today's standards) than the one in the painting, even before she has had her cosmetic surgery done. I think it would have made a better statement to keep her proportions the same as the painting (chubbier and without the very small waist) behind the lines denoting slimming her down, so the contrast between what once represented the "ideal" beauty vs. today is more highlighted.

It's a beautiful design. Beautiful shirt. I really want it. I just can't do it.

If the outermost outline were an outline of where she had been pre-surgery, then why does it not extend to where her waist narrows so dramatically on the right? If it weren't for that...I would believe that the outermost outline represented earlier plastic surgery.

Too bad for me. Beautiful, beautiful shirt.

I think you're overthinking this too much.

I'm glad she's slimmed down. Who would wanna walk around with some chubby chick on their shirt. Ewwww tubbies!

:P

Um, you're joking, right, jpiatt? Botticelli's Venus is not a "tubby." I do agree, I think more people would be more likely to wear a skinny woman on their shirts than a chubby one.

And I'm not overthinking...it's what I saw that bothered me. The thoughts just kind of came. (Sounds like a personal problem!! ;)

The problem with this shirt is it's sold out on most sizes.
