Coverage of the balls on Fox News.

Her dress looks like a wedding cake turned sour.

“The top part of it looks like it’s made out of poodle fur”

I thought it looked like a clubbed baby seal.

Maybe fashion, style, and class is OUT. I mean it is REALLY uncool to look good anymore.

Anyone else notice how many times Michelle was stepping on the hem of her dress at the Balls last night? She couldn’t even walk or dance in that dress without lifting it up from under her shoes. If she stood up straight, the dress wouldn’t drag on the floor.

Somewhere a couch is missing its upholstery.

OMG. I thought it couldn’t get worse. What the heck is the “design” on that material? Truthfully, it looks like my bedroom curtains that I got at a church thrift store.

It had a train. See post 350.

And the designer was an idiot for putting a train on a dress for a woman not used to formal gowns.

I thought it was not well thought out for the occasion. She kept tripping over it dancing, for instance, but more than that the bodice lacked structure. Anyone can "sew" a nice-looking costume, but it takes talent to structure the garment to improve posture, push up the boobs so they don't hang, etc... also, the skirt should have been pleated instead of gathered at the waist, she has a thick waist and gathering increases the bulk and makes the waist look larger -- I believe this skirt was gathered... nice flat pleats allows more material in the skirt while allowing the waistline to appear smaller...

I did like the fabric, I just thought the costume created out of it was poorly thought out and constructed... in addition, I thought she should have chosen jewel tones.

"She’s tripping on her dress alot too, probably quite irritating."

It is nearly impossible to dance in a floor-length dress, and the train would have to make it even worse. I remember a Broadway show where the show's stars were taking bows after the performance, and the women, in long dresses, all vigorously kicked the back hem of their dresses back, just before they took a big step backwards when a new line of actors/actresses came onstage in front of them to take their bows. At first, I didn't know what they were doing, but after some experience with a long skirt, myself, I realized that in order to back up, you have to get the skirt in the back out of the way of your feet or you will step on it for sure. To a great extent, it works that way for walking forward, too, with a skirt that is truly floor-length. Stepping sideways is not quite so bad but can still be a problem. When you are dancing, you can't stop dead and kick the hem of the dress out of the way every step or so. I bet he was stepping on it as well. The designer really should have thought of that. Long skirts that are truly floor-length are quite hard to manage.

"my husband is an oral surgeon. she needs a mandibular reduction. she can’t help how she purses her lips, if she relaxed her lips would not close due to the space between her upper and lower jaw."

I thought her lower jaw extended somewhat too far out for her upper jaw. Carol Burnett had that surgery really after most of her career was over. It made a subtle, but positive, change in her appearance. Yes, Michelle needs it.
