The answer, provided by the show, is that [Bernadette gets her clothes from _Forever 21_, while Amy’s clothing is from _Forever 63_.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vRW_Le48f8) (with subtitles, for our Spanish-speaking amigos) ---

“Forever 21” is a real clothing line. Penny was joking when she said that Amy got her clothes from “Forever 63,” although there was another time when Amy said that she wore a lot of things she inherited from her grandmother. ---

Penny is beautiful, stacked, funny, charming, and not brilliant; Bernadette is attractive, stacked, not quite as funny, not nearly as charming, and brilliant. So for me, it’s Penny. > [@Llama\_Llogophile](#): > > Of the regulars, yes. But the hottest woman to ever appear on BBT is [Aarti Mann](http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aarti_Mann), who played Priya.

It does occur to me that, if fight were to break out, Penny would be a lot more useful than Bernadette. So while Bernadette’s still a good deal hotter, that does earn Penny a few extra points. ---

> [@Ranger\_Jeff](#): > > Oh, and below the unflattering clothes Amy wears, Bialik wears some unflattering padding around her waist and hips. > [@RivkahChaya](#): > > She does? why? To disguise Bialik’s flattering curves. They prefer Amy to be unattractive. They sort of lapsed a bit in the episode where she was in a blue TOS starfleet uniform playing doctor with Sheldon. She had to wear a short skirt in that scene. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/boobies-penny-vs-bernadette/694371.md?page=2)
