Our first lady's vintage dress for the Christmas concert... what do you think?

[Bunti]

Michelle Obama chose a lovely 1950's Norman Norell dress to wear for the "Christmas in Washington" concert which will be on TV tonight. People posted a pic and short article.

 

I LOVE it!! Although I would have liked to see red or sparkly shoes. I am short and not much of a waist, so I couldn't wear it, but the dress is a grown up ballerina style that I dreamed of as a child.

 

Here is the link. Opinions, ladies? I would love something reminiscent of this for a truly formal night.

The dress and the rest of the outfit looks fine. I don't see anything wrong with it.

The dress is beautiful, and her whole outfit looks great on her, but I do agree that maybe some silver shoes would have been even better :)

I don't think it looks bad ON her.....but I hate the dress.

[Kellie Poodle]

I love the dress. It is so "Audry Hepburn" If someone took up the hem, it would fit me great. I'm only 5'2" but I have a small waist and those kind of dresses always flatter my figure.

as long as I look as good/great, as I possibly can. Most gals look terrif in black..it is good to me with all my big white boofy hair ! and a few twinkly baubles.

Hi Bunti, good to see you.:)

 

I think she looks lovely. I wonder if my local newspaper is wrong

because it says The Wizard of Oz is being televised on TNT tonite....

over and over again.

[suezyq50]

I think it is a nice dress. I would like to see red shoes with it.

[Lois R]

The Wizard of Oz is definitely on....as much as I love this old movie

I wonder where "Christmas in Washington" is?:eek::confused:

[Lois R]

I just googled "Christmas In Washington" and it was on TNT

yesterday...I missed it.

The dress itself is ok, but it looks horrid on her. So far, her clothing choices for her body have not been the best, IMO! I wonder if she has a stylist or if she dresses herself....if it's a stylist, they should be fired! Hopefully, it not a case of our tax dollars at work!

[msgisfree]

The dress is beautiful, and her arms are to die for. Not many women can pull the look of, but she did it!

[smoothdancer]

I like the dress, think it is wonderful for the occasion.... Unlike CB I usually like what the first lady wears.

[cruisemom42]

While the dress isn't my style, I still think it's beautiful. And I think it suits the First Lady's figure. She looks good in square necklines, her arms are good, and the skirt doesn't appear to accentuate what doesn't need accentuating....!

[Gathina]

I like the dress on her..it doesn't scream "Look at me!!" like her other ones do.

 

I think she dresses better than she used to..before she was first lady,she dressed average and looked average like the rest of us. She does overdo it on the botox, though..when she did the commercials for the Red Cross for Haiti earthquake her forehead was really frozen!

I love the dress, and I love the black patent heels with it too - I think those big earrings are just the right amount of bling for her, plus the tulle of the dress.

[bookpusher]

I like the dress and it looks great on her. I think the black shoes work with it, too. Her wardrobe choices are often disappointing and at times even tacky, (sorry, that is my honest opinion) but she hit a homerun with this one.

[Langley Cruisers]

I think she looks amazing and the black shoes were the right choice (IMO). Anything other than black and people would be commenting on the shoes.

Also, the black shoes are in keeping with the classic vintage look.:)

Yesh. :)

[brazilgirl]

Love the dress , love the shoes....she looks really lovely.

[Bakincakes]

Not a good choice for her..she is too hippy for that kind of skirt.

 

Who is the woman next to her? That dress is horrid..looks like someone ripped a "vintage" table cloth off of the dining room table and swathed her in it.:eek:

It's her mother, Marian.

Oh my goodness, that was so mean. :(

The First Lady's dress is a timeless style which I would wear in a heartbeat. However, I might want the fullness of the skirt reduced a bit.

 

The black shoes look nice with it, but metalics would give it some punch.

 

First Grandma's dress is ok. She just needs a bra with better lift.
