Hong Kong (dpa) - Fashion shops in Beijing are using ``magic mirrors'' to fool fat women customers into thinking they look slimmer in their clothes, a news report said Wednesday.
The shops are buying specially-made mirrors with a curved surface to make people look more slender when they try on items in the fitting rooms, according to the Hong Kong edition of the China Daily.
The ruse was discovered by one woman customer who bought a dress after it seemed to make her look thinner only to find back at home the garment actually accentuated her ample proportions, according to the newspaper.
