The dress pictured here is nice enough. Perhaps not for church, but I don't view it as a fashion show the way some do.
Last night the scenes of the various inaugural balls were nearly unavoidable while I searched for something to watch (Aliens on FMC is where I settled). I did not like the gown she wore. It was very unflattering and looked like it belonged in a wedding ceremony.
She wore flats with the church dress.
I just realized where I would wear this dress,,to a parent teacher conference, to a school play my kids were in or to sorority rush at one of the less dressy parties.
I love the dress and flats,,just not the occasion. Now with heels and a nice black jacket and a little bit of jewelry she would look great. She looks like a housewife dressing a bit for an occasion she doesn’t want to wear jeans to.
