Look at that dress!!  Omg, I love it.  Freya, the blue one is yours, extra fabric and all, lol.

Frank, you're doing great at producing these pics!  You're like the fashion fairy...er....

....bad choice of words?

Fashion Fairy? Swell. I can just imagine what that's about.

Maybe it's the angle, but I'm not a fan of this. I must say, this is a first for me. The woman could wear a trash bag and look great!

Agreed.  The photo angle was bad I think.  The circles are Madonna-esque.  The tummy isn't flattering either.  I hope she chunked that one in the garbage after she saw the photo.

Is it me or does she look preggers in that photo?

This is Melania pre-Trump's candidacy.  We'll not see a dress like this again .. so enjoy the photo @DCPatriot   

Here's another one that's gone with the election ....

@DCPatriot

Do people still say hubba hubba?   

Seriously, I don't think there's a problem with the picture.  I mean, I don't expect her to have a concave stomach.  She looks fine.

It's a reminder that everyone needs a little Spanx now and then, lol.

LOL! @CatherineofAragon ... I'll never understand why women voluntarily threw away control top pantyhose.

And there's nothing wrong with going 'Commando'.    ^-^

Just don't do this:

@Right_in_Virginia

That's truth.  I don't care what anyone says, or how many people do it---bare legs aren't appropriate everywhere.

But if a woman feels differently and she needs to de-emphasize a little something, there are all kinds of cute Lycra smoothers to put on. 

[Frank Cannon]

@Right_in_Virginia

bare legs aren't appropriate everywhere.

 

[Silver Pines]

Can't agree with you here, Frank.  There's no substitute for a little black dress, sheer black stockings, and killer black pumps.

[libertybele]

Her wedding dress was awful!

[libertybele]

The cake was much better looking...

[mystery-ak]

Can't wait to see what she has packed for her first overseas trip as First Lady..I am sure it will be spectacular.

[libertybele]

....and the ring .... sure I'd love to have the kind of money behind it ... but not a fan

Fashion Alert!     

Melania Trump Announces Inaugural Foreign Trip as First Lady of the United States

Mrs. Melania Trump is pleased to announce some of the stops on her first foreign trip as First Lady of the United States of America.

On Friday, May 19, 2017, the First Lady will join her husband President Donald J. Trump on an eight-day, five-stop trek to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Israel, Rome, Brussels, and Sicily, returning to Washington, DC, on Saturday, May 27, 2017.

The First Lady will join her husband throughout each day, but will also participate in many of her own events. In the latter part of the trip, Mrs. Trump will attend spousal programs at the NATO and G-7 summits.  She will conclude the trip by delivering remarks to United States military personnel and families in Italy.

“I am very excited for the upcoming trip,” stated First Lady Melania Trump. “This will not just be an opportunity to support my husband as he works on important matters of national security and foreign relations, it will also be my honor to visit and speak with women and children from different countries, with different perspectives."

The White House will release daily guidance the day before each event, and a full readout of the First Lady’s activities will be provided at the end of each day.

OMG, I agree @libertybele  And I thought Jackie's gown was "busy".   Yikes!! to Melania.  What was she thinking?  And don't start me on the veil. 

[libertybele]

First time I've seen Jackie's gown ... it looks like a bunch of crochet doilies  were sewn on. 

[mountaineer]

Maybe Jackie and Melania should have said NO to the dress!

Same here.

LOL -- or one of those crochet doll toilet paper roll covers everybody's grandmother used to have.

Omg. that's awful.  Honestly, I think the cake's way overdone too, lol.

[Silver Pines]

@Right_in_Virginia

Nice.  I really think she looks best in slim skirts.  Her legs go on forever.

[mystery-ak]

I know this is the trend right now but I really don't like the high waisted skirt.....I sure could never wear it..lol

[Polly Ticks]

I know this is the trend right now but I really don't like the high waisted skirt.....I sure could never wear it..lol

I totally agree with you.  It does make the legs look long, but it also makes everything look out of proportion.  I'm not a fan of the style.

[EC]

Weren't looking at her waist.

I'm going to be odd one out and say I like it, lol.  I don't mind a high-waisted skirt.

I don't know about the ring.  Why does everyone not like it?  Because it's big, or is it the shape/cut?

[Silver Pines]

I like the high-waisted skirt, too, @CatherineofAragon ... especially when the hemline is just below the knee.  The style elongates the body.

I really like the ring .... wouldn't mind having one myself.   ^-^   And I love that she wears it fearlessly.

[DCPatriot]

She sure is beautiful...aren't they?     

Pumpkin shaded, high waist, fitted leather skirt.

Spec-freakin-tacular.

(Kindda exciting.   )

[anubias]

I don't like them either.  They're like a boob belt without the belt.  I'm short wasted with long legs.  I'd look ridiculous in one; so I am biased a bit.

[Smokin Joe]

(Kindda exciting.   )

Trump is no stranger there.

The Trump Princess was originally built for Adnan Khashoggi, who had christened it Nabila, was sold to the Sultan of Brunei, and then bought by Trump, refit and named the Trump Princess, and has since been renamed the Kingdom 5 KR, after Trump sold it to Al-Waleed bin Talal. Along the way, the movement of the yacht marks major business deals (often in distress) which go far beyond selling a boat.
To say he knows people there is an understatement.

[Smokin Joe]

She doesn't need to stretch her lower body, and that is the appearance it gives. It throws her proportions off. She is long legged in the first place, heels emphasize that already, and the high waist, almost to boob belt height just makes her lower body look far longer, like there is someone up there on stilts. I just do not think it is the best effect for her. The high waisted black slacks she had on in a pic the other day had the same effect.

[Gefn]

I think this is my favorite thread here.

I liked seeing Jackie Kennedy's wedding dress too.

Does anyone know if there is a place like the Smithsonian that has old gowns from older First Ladies like the 1700-1800s on display?

I've seen such exhibits in European museums

I think there is a new baby panda to look at....not sure. I haven't seen the Smithsonian since the 8th grade trip to D.C.

All I remember from that was the museum with the space ships and Lindbergh's plane. 

And of course the place where they make all the money.

[Smokin Joe]

You went to the National Air and Space Museum, The National Zoo, and The Bureau of Printing and Engraving.
There is a 'new Panda at the zoo, just weaned (@2 yrs--they grow up so fast!), an article here .
Last time I was at the Smithsonian was while I was in college, in the backrooms of the Natural History museum, checking out the Cushman Collection.

Natural History and History and Technology were my favorites until Air and Space was opened up.
I remember taciturn guards giving us 'that look' at the Bureau of Engraving when we were up there (6th grade), asking if they gave free samples. (I wonder how many times they heard that in a day?)

[EC]

Sorry to all the high trousers haters - she was wearing them to leave the plane.

Can't embed the video, sorry.

Actually, strike that. I think she's wearing a catsuit.

@DCPatriot

I give bonus points to a man who uses a color name like "pumpkin" correctly.

And it IS leather....wow.
