(115,701 posts)And those high heels are just insane. How is she not sinking into the ground? This dress isn't by any means the worst thing I've seen her in - there was that pink shiny thing.

(20,871 posts)I knew a short little woman that wore heels all the time.
By the time she was 29 years old, her feet had become deformed from them.
She had to wear them constantly because if she didn't the pain was horrific.
So she'd run around the house in PJs and heels.
UGH is all I can say other than I've always hated high heels as they really suck!
The Velveteen Ocelot
(115,701 posts)Her achilles tendons had become so shortened as a result that she couldn't wear flats at all or walk flat-footed. She had high-heeled slippers. I ditched those things years ago (and never had anything as high as Melania's).

I threw those damaged things away and have never worn heels since as yes, they really do SUCK! Yeah right ...
peggysue2
(10,828 posts)Decades of high-heel wearing (4-5" stilettos) left her with shortened tendons, making flats really painful to wear. I wore them occasionally when I was young and 'dressing up.' Then also ditched them for comfort. Plus when my mother was wearing them back in the day, the toes were very pointy. So, you were not only walking on your toes but jamming your piggies together.
Crazy when you think about it. Don't care how good your legs look, your feet and calves are forever ruined.
zeusdogmom
(994 posts)OK not 4 inch stilettos, but 2-3 inches. Every Sunday - no matter how much the choir has to stand. All of my band concerts. I can even push racks of music stands and chairs across the school from the band room to the auditorium wearing 'em. No corns or bunions on these 70 year old feet. I plan wearing heels until I am ready to push up daisies - and then be buried in them. Rest of the time I am barefoot or in good tennis shoes or hiking boots. I love the way I feel in my heels - strong, confident, and yes I little taller. I am slightly vertically challenged.
The shoes Melania wears look uncomfortable to me, but it is her feet. At least she walks gracefully in them. Gotta give her that.

malaise
(269,004 posts)I gave up heels in my early 30s and realize it was one of my best decisions. For a not young lady, I do have really nice feet - no corns and no bunions. Many of my friends not only have ugly feet, but also have feet that hurt.

But I like the dress! Better than that pink floral sparkly thing that got photoshopped onto a shower curtain!

thegoose
(3,115 posts)She almost comes close to the height of her big, butch 6'3" husband. I call bullshit about not only his weight but his height, too. In the clips they keep showing of Comey shaking hands with the puke, the former FBI director positively towers over him far more than 6'8" versus 6'3".
But why should we be surprised that he lies about his height and weight? He's the father of lies.
Madam Mossfern
(2,340 posts)I think it's a nice dress and she pulls it off well.
However, she may want to check herself out in a three way mirror and consider Spanx when she's wearing such a form fitting dress.
Or maybe it's just the angle of the shot.

(175,735 posts)It'd look better in two complimentary colors, maybe a jewel tone with a pastel in the same shade. But I've never been fond of stripes or polka dots.
Mike Nelson
(9,956 posts)...okay... but the shoes are inhuman! Does she really need to make her buttocks fuller? She can get the same look with some buttock padding - it looks more natural than the high heel look, too. I first heard about this undergarment when Sinatra refused to wear his for a movie... he had no buttocks and the studios wanted leading men to have asses.
That is pretty awful, but I was most taken by the fact that she looks happy, not something we see very often.
renate
(13,776 posts)I love the cut, although it would look much better with flats. It has a nice retro look, imho.
I was especially impressed by the way the stripes were parallel even though the skirt is so full. That would be really hard to execute. Props to the designer.
Having said that, I would have preferred it in a pretty color (or two colors) rather than black and white, but thats just me.
malaise
(269,004 posts)trust me.
I have two sisters who sew really well - one makes beautiful quilts and the other makes beautiful clothes.
Shopping with either is a wonderful experience - they dismiss a lot of high-priced crap. Neither buys anything that doesn't line up.
It's not my style and the colors are too close to prison clothes.

(9,893 posts)on her, but it seems inappropriate for the occasion. Its more of a social dress, summer party amongst the rich and famous or Kentucky Derby accompanied by a giant hat sort of thing rather than a state affair. The spikes? Maybe thats what all the decorative woman are wearing. Its getting to be kind of a dated look, though.

(32,084 posts)If I had the figure for it, and the budget to afford it, I would wear it, although it wouldn't be my first choice. It's actually one of the nicer outfits I've seen her wearing. Those shoes, OTOH... How the hell does anyone walk in those things? I don't think I have ever seen her in anything other than stiletto heels. At least she can afford a good podiatrist, because if she doesn't need one now, she will in the not too distant future.
Can she wear it pole dancing?
