If I were her, that designer would never be on my list again. If that's a zipper in the back of her gown it is the worst job I have ever seen in my life. Like hems, zippers should be invisible to even the finest scrutiny. Wow! That was the first thing I was taught when I was an 11 year old girl and all through my tailoring courses into my 20s, I would have been forced to rip that zipper a dozen times if that were all the better I could do. I did better work than that at 12.

...and I swear they take those unflattering shots of her derriere on purpose.

No, I critique Michelle Obama’s clothing and style choices as much as anyone. But I also will be fair and say when she looks good. That little curly wig is feminine and looks a lot better than when she pulls her own nappy hair severely back. And she can choose absolutely atrocious things to wear, whether gowns or just inappropriate casual attire in public, but this gown suits her, her skin looks great in white, and she actually looks as good as she can. I will admit it when she does.

Writing on Twitter, CBS News reporter Christine Delargy said:

Writing on twitter? Gimme a break. If a Republican first Lady had done this it would lead the evening news.

Then again CBS NEVER gave Nancy Reagan a hard time for spending too much - nope, no double standard there..../s

Is there any reason why we care what the folks at biased CBS have to say? Haven't they shown us what they're made of - repeatedly? Didn't Dan Rather run his fake Bush stuff out of there? Ask Buckhead...

$7000 Designer gown...I guess plus sizes do cost more.

Thanks for the ping!
What’s with all the jungle junk jools on her arm?

[Cincinna]

Im sure for all that money she could get something designed to hide that huge caboose of hers!

MY 2¢
Chancellor Merkel is appropriately dressed for her age and position, and for the country she represents.

[Chode]

a real beauty that one...

Dude — the dress I wore this evening is on I bought in the ‘80’s. The slacks I was wearing last week I bought before Jimmy Carter was elected.

Not all women are clothes horses......

Please don't take me too seriously! Just joking about how so
many of my gender are fashion impaired. I am about as low
fashion as it gets. I sing, and when one of my fellow choir
members posted a photo of me in my tux on Facebook it was
tagged with “for those who have never seen him in anything
without a gun, bike, or scuba logo on it.......”

I agree with you. They reek and they have no class...and the little woman has a big azz.

Actually, she is a dog, and only has to buy a new collar and leash for each “white hut” affair.

These two are the enemy of the Constitution, liberty and freedom, and I will trash them each and every time I can. They must be removed.

[Bockscar]

You and me too! They are beyond disgusting! I said they 'have no class'. As pointed out by another on this thread, the word 'class' must have the letter 'L' changed to 'R' in order to properly apply.
That is 'Crass'. It does fit well too.
