That's the only explanation that makes sense to me, and I don't know why either. She has an IDEAL body, IMO. But she hides it with baggy blouses. She has the confidence to sing in front of millions of people, but not the confidence to wear form-fitting clothes

The fact is, you're absolutely right... Katharine has an ideal body shape, but this is an era that unfortunately celebrates the "waif" look.

I had wondered if Pickler helped Katharine decide what to wear. But, someone posted an article that says that the contestants don't have much of a choice at all about what they wear.
