EVERY female knows that black is a slimming colour. You look at *least* a size smaller :P This colour holds a multitude of sins (which is prolly why its a little black dress rather than a little red dress ;))
I do think, however, some colour should be added to an outift, and if you combine some striking colours (like red or pink etc) to a predominatly black outfit you can draw attention to the bits you want to show off. In my case I would wear perhaps a white low cut top with a black skirt in order to show off my fabulous cleavage :P

I've heard it said before, but no I don't really think so. If you're fat you're fat, your clothes wont change that :-)

I think compared to colour white that yes, black makes most people look slimmer. However I don't think that the colour black, compared to most other colours (except white) makes that much difference over all. We just feel more hidden or that we blend in better when we wear black I think.

No I feel the cut of the fabric and style of the peice is what makes you look slimmer. For instance; if you wore at black moomoo or tent dress you would still look just as big as if you wore a striped one or a yellow one. Dont you think?
I think it is the cut that makes the difference

As others said, black gives the illusion of being slimmer. I enjoy wearing dark shirts because of it. ;)

Black does make a person look thinner and slimmer. I feel the same way as you. I usually wear black just to make myself look smaller than I am. lolz... It's true.
