How about appropriately dressed for a middle aged woman at State appearance?

Mrs. Brown's dress is spot-on for the season and the occasion, but it looks like she's gained a stone. It could do without the frill down the front, but that's just personal taste. I'm going to get a nursing dress very much like that one!

Hi TC...I hope you are feeling well, and that all is going smoothly :)

Mrs. B’s dress could stand a little tailoring (LOL on the, ahem, stone)...but it is appropriate for someone of her position. Green (did ya hear it shimmers?!?!) gingham? For a State Appearance? Sigh.

And the sweater is too small. Why can’t the ‘fashion press’ note that? It shouldn’t even be buttoned.

If you have a pooch in the front (and believe me, I know...LOL) you can’t wear things that fit snugly over it. That’s the only real problem I have with Brown’s dress. There are ways to hide a poochy tummy. I used to be appalled at the teenaged girls in my classes who had fat bellies and wore those spandex shirts. If you can count the number of *tires* they have, it’s too tight for their figure.

As for Michelle, I think she works out, how difficult would it be fore her to work on her posture? I think standing up straight would be a HUGE benefit to her. She just looks sloppy because she slouches.
