Initially, I liked it. The more I saw it, the less it appealed to me. She wore it well, it just wasn't my thing.

I was not a fan of it. I didn't think it was very flattering on her, but I've read here that it photographed well.
That said, I didn't like Cindy McCain's suit last night either! I liked Jill Biden's green, and Sarah Palin looked nice in her navy blue. But the red/black number- not so much!!
DH thought she looked pregnant. Guess he didn't think it was flattering either!

No, not at all. And I said it aloud about 10 seconds after she came out. Black and red look great on her, but not that pattern and cut, at all.

Ditto -- I usually don't comment on what people wear on TV, but man, whoever picked that dress.... I dunno. Shaking my head here.

While it's not the best thing I've seen on her, I'm sure she'll have plenty of ops to insult the eyeballs in the next 4 years. She still looks classy no matter what.

I thought it was distracting. My DH said it looked like a black widow with how the red parts mixed with the black.

but ... but ... it was a cool dress on the runway! why the heck did she wear it with a sweater? that just ruined the look and totally obliterated the dress's lines.
odd. she usually shows such great taste.-Ivy
