TWO stylish friends held an at-home fashion show where they tried on the same clothes in a size 6 and a size 16.
Not everything was a hit, and in fact, the duo disagreed on most of the things they tried, with one exception.
Style blogger Emily Canham invited her friend and fellow influencer, Lucy Flight, to model the clothes together on Canham's YouTube page.
Canham, a size 6, picked things that were all her style – and Flight, a size 16, was along for the ride.
"I'm so excited to dress you up in my totally varied style," Canham said.
"I'm not dreading it, but I am totally unsure as to how some of these outfits will look on me," Flight admitted.

Right off the bat, she knew the picnic-style checkered dress from Reformation would not be finding a permanent home in her closet.
"I hate it. I actually couldn't hate it more if I tried," Flight said, though she said the dress was perfect for Canham. "It looks gorgeous on you."
The size they bought was too big for Flight and considerably longer, reaching her knees, while Canham's dress was a proper mini.
"If it fit properly, it might look nice," Flight said.

The friends hoped to have better luck with a black linen jumpsuit, but when Canham turned around to see Flight she realized they had the opposite problem from before.
Flight was standing in a towel, not the jumpsuit, which proved to be too small for her.
At first, it seemed like a shame, because the jumpsuit was something Flight she'd choose for herself.
But Canham confirmed the one-piece wasn't a great fit for her, either, and she found it difficult to style.
"I don't feel great in it," she said, tugging at the fabric. "I feel shapeless."
They moved on to a muted brown minidress, which Canham loved on both of them.
Flight wasn't convinced.
"It looks so good! Please tell me you feel amazing," Canham pleaded.
But Flight pointed out that the dress was a lot shorter on her long torso, and didn't provide the same coverage that Canham's did.
That left her feeling uncomfortable and exposed, even though she liked the color and style.
"There's a version of this dress that's a top that would look so good with your hair," Canham recommended. Flight said she'd be open to trying it.
"Mini-dresses are never something I wear," she confessed.
"I wish you liked it more!" Canham said, admiring her friend in the mini dress. "I don't think you're giving it enough credit."
They moved on to a casual look, each wearing an oversized T-shirt, shorts, and black Converse high-tops.
The first thing Canham noticed when she turned around was that each of them had put on only one shoe when they got dressed.
"I think that's hilarious," Canham said. "Do you feel cool?" she asked Flight.
"I'd much rather wear a crop shirt," Flight responded, holding up a bralette top that was more her style.
Still, both women agreed that the outfit was comfortable and casual.
And Flight did plan to add more Converse to her wardrobe, fantasizing about a white platform pair.
With renewed hope, they both surveyed the ruffled pink gown Canham had chosen for their next outfit.
"This could be a hit," said Flight, optimistic about the Asos dress.
After the big reveal, both women agreed the pink dress was the best option so far, though Flight would never have chosen it for herself.
"I get why you love the sleeves now. This is definitely the best one," Flight said.
"This is, like, bridesmaid chic," Canham added, as the two friends twirled in their gowns.
Though Flight felt like her chest was overexposed and the dress itself wasn't her style, she liked how she looked in it and thought Canham looked gorgeous too.
"I really, really like the color on you," she said, complimenting how the dress looked on her friend.
The final dress the two women tried was a green mini reminiscent of Tinkerbell – Canham picked it for an upcoming Disney vacation.
Flight burst into laughter when she saw it. "Do you know what it is?" she asked Canham. "So ugly."
Once the dresses were actually on, Flight pulled a face at the camera – she disliked the dress just as much as she anticipated.

"I'm spilling," she said, gesturing at her chest. Canham, who's fairly flat-chested, said the entire exercise taught her a lot about shopping for different body shapes.
"It's absolute proof that buying clothing is not that straightforward," Canham said.
