I don't like the tone of the OP but I understand what she is saying.
There are two things here, for me.
1) Accepting the body you have and feeling good about yourself
2) Dressing badly and/or showing too much skin
For me, I don't care what body type a person has. I like to see any shape of body as long as the person dresses themselves well and to suit their body shape.
I don't much care to see people of any size badly dressed, and particularly showing more than I think is nice to see.
I'm pretty thin and I dress in nice clothes and don't often wear tank tops to show my tummy, though I could. I think I'm over that teenage belly-showing phase.
I think any clothes that fit badly on any size body looks bad to awful.
It's not something I think about much...you can't control others so what's the point in getting worked up about it? Eh.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
