admiralsn, the bow is the only thing I noticed, in an appalling, shocking way! I had to look and look at the photo to figure out what I was missing that would have made that color welcome on that dress, until realizing that it was just a big phatte mistake on the designer's part. Wonder how W complimented Laura on her looks before they went downstairs? (I would have had my eyes pop out and then been unable to hide my dismay!)
Here's the test of whether or not an ensemble works. If the garment detracts from the wearer's face, something needs correcting. The clothing should draw other people's eyes to the wearer's countenance, after which the garment will have plenty of time to be seen.
