..She has for one, shown serious dedication to that most fashion of affectations: the shoulder robe (the art of balancing your coat on your shoulders, which offers a more nuanced, high level approach to putting on an outerwear garment rather than the pedestrian act of simply putting your arms through the sleeves). Her efforts here are accomplished. On stage in Iowa, after introducing her husband as “the best master negotiator” she stepped back from the lectern, flicked that perfect blow-dry delicately over her shoulder, and all without her bright red coat budging an inch. That’s not just rigid tailoring and a sturdy shoulder-pad; that’s professional....

The wide stance one was for real. I think she was moving for the pic
Is it too much to hope for that maybe someday we can again find attractive clothing made from decent fibers in department stores?
I gave up and started buying all my clothes from the thrift store.
I have seen Feed Sack Dresses(WW2), that looked better!
Melania, Prince William’s wife, and many others ( all of the Trump girls, except for Tiffany ) wear that long, bedraggled “style” at a much too damned old age for it!

These women need a well cut shoulder length style. And Williams Wife needed to be told that brides wear their hair UP!
That reminds me of when we girls wore hoop skirts under those full skirts. We made the huge mistake of wearing them to school. When we sat down the hoops and skirts went up over our heads.. We did not wear them again.
there are a few companies American made. they seem to be ridiculously expensive. I would buy a sewing machine and make my own lol.
That looks like it was made from a hoop.
The good ole days when moms were moms and dads were dads. And little sisters and brothers were annoying, but you would kick anyone’s butt that hurt them..
when I saw that pic at the time I thought she’d buttoned it wrong. why would you make a garment like that on purpose? it’s bizarro world.
Well the heels might not work on the airplane steps—never have figured out how Duchess Kate does that.
I have a plain back London Fog trench coat. Is ages old but still looks new. Belonged to Hubby’s aunt so no telling how old it is. It’s my go to coat when it’s cold and whenever I wear it at least one person tells me they love it and wants to know where I got it. Lol
Reminds me, I need to take it to the cleaners.
that one looks photoshopped. The one at g20 wasn’t. and I think the stance was even wider than that but it did appear it was taken in mid movement
The Wookie I will remember.
My mother and grandmother and great grandmother were all known for the beautiful hats they wore, so I'm always very aware of said headgear. :-)
