Adele
On the right - a tailored and classic evening dress. tight in the upper part, and expands with the lines of the body from the pelvis to the floor. A thick waist belt creates the waist line and emphasizes the narrow part. The clean and classic look of the dress combined with its length creates a narrower and slimmer look.
On the left - a maxi dress with liquid and spilled fabric, a lot of excess fabric and the use of flounces that further expand and enlarge all the already wide areas. Although the look is very much that of a diva, there is no doubt that Adele looks wider here than she was in reality.
Oprah Winfrey
On the right - a twill shirt without a defined shape in a relatively fluid fabric and with bat sleeves, expanding the entire chest area. Does not create the separation between the chest, shoulders and hands and creates a uniform, square and unflattering look.
Straight and strange maxi skirt. The elastic at the waist is not flattering and does not help to emphasize the narrow waist, the skirt has a straight cut to the floor and is made of stiff, standing fabric, it looks like a tent or a curtain on it, it is very bulky and creates a wide and square look.
On the left - a dress in a men's cut, tailored, close at the waist and chest and widening in the pelvic area to the floor. The hard fabric in combination with the tailored cut helps to "package" the body in a correct and flattering way, the open collar with a hoi neckline flatters a large chest and divides it nicely.
