It was even worse when they first introduced it and she was supposed to be a bit fatter. It stuck out like several sore thumbs. I keep expecting something interesting to happen relating to it. They must know they are sacrificing visual integrity - there should be a significant reason.
Like with Peggy in season 1 with the pregnancy arc, she looked ridiculous but at least there was a payoff.
With Betty, nothing. A few minor throw-away exchanges. Maybe something is still to come but so far I can't help but ask why bother? If they are really determined to touch on weight issues of that era, just leave her appearance alone and do it through good writing. Maybe she's an early bulimic? I dunno - something else.
What's with these actors anyway? Can peeps not just gain a bunch of weight for their craft??? Bunch of long-haired pot-smoking hippies is what it is.
