Ok, I just have to start this thread. I was totally
unimpressed with Mrs. Obama's Inauguration dress, coat and
ball gown.
The local paper today says, of the ball gown: "...the first
lady shimmered in a white, one-shouldered, floor length
gown. It was embellished from top to bottom with white
floral details and made by 26-year-old New York designer
Jason Wu."
I thought it was frumpy looking, and did absolutely nothing
for her figure. And a *train* on a gown meant for
dancing!!!???
The-lined-to-the-edge-in-a-contrasting-color day coat
flapped about, did NOT look warm, and, although interesting
in texture did nothing for Mrs. O. At the luncheon, when
she was not wearing the coat, it appeared that she had on
the dress with a similar colored cardigan(?) sweater. And
what exactly was the purpose of the ribbon...and the
rhinestones at the neckline...
Anyone else?

I personally loved her gown, not the 1 strap shoulder, but the gown
itself i thought was gorgeous, and i agree with you-the train wasn't
necessary. but i thought the gown flowed beautifully from her body,
and i loved the floral details, and the color. it looked magnificent
against her skin tone
the first outfit, that she was walking in, i didnt like it too much
either. i think the color was odd, not good with her skin tone, and it
didnt look warm at all. i know it had to be cold out there!

I thought her ball gown looked a bit "flower power/flower child"
reminiscent of the 60's and early 70's. Perhaps I'm not seeing a good
picture of it, but it has that daisies sewn all over it look to me. A
bit boring and lackluster in color, the diagonal one shoulder strap
was nice, though.
Haven't seen her outfit for the actual swearing in ceremony, but most
likely she wore Cuddle Duds under her clothes, at least I hope someone
suggested them to her.

I didn't like the color of her inauguration outfit on her, but loved the
texture.Did you notice that Mrs.Bush's outfit didn't look any warmer.
she also wore a loose open coat.
I thought that the Obama's oldest daughter looked very pretty and age
appropriate in her coat. It was a lovely color and suited her. I
commented to my DH that she's going to be stunning when she's older.
Since the ball gown didn't show up well on my TV I won't comment on how
it looked other than to say that train was obviously a pain to her. I
wondered if it looked better in HD.
I must say though, that I thought the entire family looked radiant and
really were enjoying the day.

Her inaugural dress and coat were made from wool lace with several
layers of silk as the lining (woven together), so I'm sure it was very
warm. The only thing I didn't like about her outfit was the green bow
and the silver necklace.
Found out today that his suit was made from "bullet-proof" material.
The company that made it, also sells a polo-shirt made from the same
fabric for around $3500. Wonder what the suit cost?
