Originally Posted By DyGDisney I noticed Michelle's dress, but didn't think much of it besides that it tied in with the rest of the family's black and red theme. I'm sure that was the motive behind the dress. I'm a jeans and sweater type of gal though. I haven't worn a dress in almost 8 years!!! Maybe that's why it didn't leave much of an impression on me either way. I do have to say Laura Bush wears a lot of elegant looking skirt suits that look very first-ladyish. (TIP -- don't type in Laura Bush photos, AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!)

Originally Posted By chickendumpling I didn't intend to imply anyone was a "tasteless wit" for liking the dress. I really like Michelle Obama. I have a lot of respect for all she's accomplished and I'm sure she'll make a fine First Lady. I just didn't like the dress but I'll try to keep that to myself from here on out. I wouldn't bet on me being able to do that though. ;-)
