18. That's kind of matronly and bulky for her

Fri Jul 13, 2018, 12:36 PM

She'd actually look better in something fitted and maybe a shorter skirt, but maybe she's dressing conservatively for the Queen. I mean, if you've got the body, it doesn't help to hide it. Not saying she should dress sexy, but something a little more flattering for her figure. I mean, the duchesses don't dress like that, she should take her cue from them. That blush or "white" or whatever it is is way too old for her.

I actually thought the "see through" dress was one of the nicer things she's worn. But I guess it's not formal enough for the Queen.

Michelle Obama was a great dresser. Working-class from the south side of Chicago and she always knew how to dress.

Except for the color, Melania looks like a North Korean or Soviet spy. It's a little severe and military.

I like that dress. It conceals a lot of figure flaws. Bad taste to try to outshine the Queen, tho. calimary Jul 2018 #6

The belt thows it off. Too harsh, skinny and jarringly dark. Also, it's a winter suit. haele Jul 2018 #34

I don't think her feet can go in flat or short heels. Kali Jul 2018 #38

It's way too high-waisted for her figure (or for anyone's figure) LisaM Jul 2018 #30

Designers who don't design for the human figure shouldn't be a problem for Melania. The Velveteen Ocelot Jul 2018 #35

That's probably true, but.... LisaM Jul 2018 #46
