Sentence: When Gail saw what Maisie was wearing to the dance club, she was horrified. Maisie wore a blue coverall dress that added 30 pounds to her frame, particularily at the waist. She matched it with a pink top, green knee socks, those red chunky plastic crocs and a scowl. She told Gail it was her bloatcouture, designed to repel the guys that might hit on her, by making them think she was fat or pregnant. It worked!
