A common dressmaker or tailor could completely eliminate the bra line and pantie lines, and the wrinkles around the the thighs and legs. There is **no** excuse for a bra strap to be hanging out of a too tight sleeveless blouse, or for slacks that look like they are giving her a wedgie. Dress hemlines should not be hanging 6 inches below the back of her coat. There is no reason for wrinkles in her jacket across her back, or for the sides of her jacket to stick out like dog ears. Her kick pleats are so high that if she leaned over a few inches her underwear would show.
Little ole’ **me** could fix these tailoring mistakes with my bedroom sewing machine! Surely in Washington, D.C., there is a tailor or seamstress who is more than capable of adjusting her clothing so that it properly fits her shape. She would feel more comfortable as well.
No one should mock Michele for her shape any more than Eleanor Roosevelt should have been denigrated for her chin, but, there is **no** reason for our nation's First Lady to be wearing poorly constructed and tailored clothing.
Nearly all of the outfits shown in the photos above would have been far more attractive if they had been properly tailored!
Excellent point, Wintertime
Her clothing choices are not suited to her body type, and definitely not to her role as First Lady,
Good tailoring can make someone look ten lbs thinner. So would chooses fabrics that are not shiny or clingy, and wearing the proper undergarments.
You can be sure even old Aunt Esther wore a girdle!
Since you seem to be an expert on this sort of thing, what about the length if her trousers compared to Carla Bruni-Sarkozy (standing next to her in the lavender coat with black trousers.)?
Michelle’s pant leg seems way too long and puddling like a curtain over her shoe, Carla’s is trim and just skims the heel. You would think Michelle’s needed a hemming.
