Here’s a hint===
The question is “Does it make me look fat?”
The answer that I would give? “That style/cut/color isn’t the best for you...but the ______ outfit that you wore last week looks SO good and makes your legs look stunning.”
Honest answer, no damage done.
Unless you want a divorce, then I’d stick to your last sentence.
With reference to the asking your husband if you look fat in a particular dress.

Only gay men and women talk like that. A heterosexual man thinks, "I would be having sex with you right now if we didn't have to be somewhere in 10 minutes, shouldn't that clue you in to the fact that I think you're smoking hot?" But he knows he can't say that and not being homosexual he is at a total loss as to what to say that will make his wife feel good about herself. Her keen awareness of his awkwardness makes her feel like he thinks she IS fat. Everyone is unhappy.
LADIES! HEAR ME and please do your husband the merciful kindness of never asking THAT question again. If you must, just ask, "Honey, do want to have sex with me when I'm in this dress?" He'll smile, and quickly and honestly say "Yes." He might even say, "Yes, but even more so in that green one cut up the side." You'll have your answer and you'll both be happier.
