Triangle
Triangular body structure / pear

Meryl Streep
On the right - in a maxi dress, with a particularly flattering cut. Its upper part is tight and tailored with a generous V-neckline, which cuts the body in vertical lines, emphasizes the narrow area of the body and gives it shape. And the narrow waist is emphasized with a thick and fashionable waist belt.
The lower part of the dress extends from the waist to the floor. The fabric spills over and obscures the entire buttocks and thighs area.
The maxi length of the dress gives more height and length to the body.
On the left - an unclear and unflattering dress, with a lot of excess fabric in the wrong places. The cut of the seam is placed in an unflattering way under the bust together with the pattern of the contractions gives the appearance of a sagging bust, and of a not very successful maternity dress.
The bat sleeves widen and enlarge if the entire chest and shoulder area and make the entire top part one piece.
Michelle Obama
On the right - pants are not flattering for several reasons. First, the high position of the waist belt, which is located just below the chest. This makes the top really short, emphasizing the disproportion that exists between the narrow waist and the wide pelvis. And in addition to that, the pants are getting narrower from the hips to the ankles, which expands and emphasizes the entire butt (in the opposite example you can see how straight cut pants flatter her much more). The shirt she chose to combine with the pants doesn't flatter her either. A more symmetrical shirt with a more tailored structure would have been better for her.
On the left - pants tailored in a straight cut from the hips (the widest area) to the floor, blurring the disproportion between the pelvis (the widest area) and the rest of the leg. The waistband of the pants is neither too thick nor too high, dividing the body in a flattering way. A tailored shirt with a little blouse, creates the illusion of a lower waist. A combination of a print on the upper part of the body with smooth black pants on the lower part, attracts the heart node of the eye and emphasizes the upper part and creates a balance of proportions.
