Fug or Fab: Ginnifer Goodwin

From the waist up, and the knees down, I love this:

But I’ve been looking at it for ten minutes and I can’t figure out why the middle part makes her look like a folded up umbrella. Ginnifer Goodwin is a petite little thing, so it’s really beyond me why she looks so weirdly wide in the middle. Like…is there some pleating or bustling happening here that I just can’t see in the picture? It is draped in a way that is fantastic in person, but doesn’t translate to film? Does this dress have huge pockets, and she’s got the New York Times shoved into her left one? Has her bottom half mysteriously expanded since the last time I saw her? (I’ve had days where I’ve felt like that myself.) The silhouette here is surely an optical illusion, right? Because I feel like this SHOULD be fabulous.
