Absolutely. The two go hand in hand, and have for a long time. Around the turn of the last century (1900), the fashion was to have an extremely tiny waist, called a wasp-waist. All the fashionable clothes were for this body type, and women dieted, ate tiny meals, and wore tight corsets to mold their bodies. That's an extreme example, but there are many others:

In the 20's, the flapper look called for a flat bust and no hips since that's how dresses were designed. In the 40s and 50s a curvier figure was in vogue (think sweaters and wide skirts) - clothing emphasized curves and women toned their bodies accordingly. In the 90s "heroin chic" fashion defined a new physical ideal, and women became even more worried about dieting and looking super-thin than they had before.

Now low-rise pants and other skin-baring fashions contribute significantly to people's physical ideals - even young girls are very concerned about extra fat around their midsections, and liposuction is more popular than ever.

That might have something to do with it. People think that if they put on a little weight, they need to lose it in order to get back into their old clothes. I saw a few pounds won't hurt. 30+ isn't so good though. If that happens, I think a diet needs to start.
