It calls to my mind the image of Russian Nesting Dolls: In this case, the underlying layers show a woman’s development from youthful shape to maternity to middle-age to senior citizen: Figuratively, as a rose blossom from bud to bloom to rose hip.
This reminds me of the joke by Jerry Seinfeld when he saw George wearing sweatpants in public: “You know the message you’re sending out to the world with these sweatpants? You’re telling the world, ‘I give up. I can’t compete in normal society. I’m miserable, so I might as well be comfortable.’” These days, it’s not uncommon to see people wearing pajamas in public.
Been a plugger all my life if THAT’s true…tho I do draw the line at wearing pyjamas on the street. I prefer the “no stains, no holes” as SOP, even for formal wear.
It would be nice if people could value people by how they think, how they act, how they treat others rather than how they look. We accept the caricature of the absent-minded professor — someone who is wise and good but dresses badly. Why do we complain about people dressing for comfort instead of trying to impress others?
Dressing for comfort saves time and energy and money. You don’t have to shop every season to get clothes in the new style, the new colors. You don’t have to bother with packing up last year’s clothes for donation [many of them can’t be donated anyway], trying to sell them online, or feel guilty about just throwing them out. A person is more relaxed when they are physically comfortable.
For the first fifty years, I bought the cutest shoes. for the next 15 or so, I bought the most comfortable ones. Now, I buy the ones that seem the most likely to get me through a day without falling down.
You know, there are a LOT of Pluggers out there that aren’t morbidly obese. It would be nice to see at least a couple of characters once in a while that are less rotund.
When people get huffy about clothing others wear and how they style their hair, I am always, sadly, reminded of the 2002 Mecca girls’ school fire where the girls were allowed to burn to death because they were in their night dresses and didn’t have their heads covered.

Did you know that the word “muumuu” was shortened from “Mother Hubbard”?

It looks comfortable; however, I prefer leggings and an oversized t-shirt.
