FLOTUS on 4th of July. Not sure I like the big huge thick red sash, nor do I like the extra length on the dress itself.

The dress took her from the picnic through the evening meet and greet with "dignitaries". So the style makes sense to me.
But, it's gingham ... one likes gingham or one doesn't, there's very little in between. Me? I do not like gingham. So for me the wrap design, the length, the red flats and the red bow were the best parts of the outfit. The gingham --- nah. ^-^ I'd like to see the exact outfit in blue denim rather than gingham. Or a solid red with a blue sash. I just hate the gingham. --- And I agree, I'd have brought the hem up an inch at least, maybe two.
