1. She has the money

how she spends it is not mine to comment upon.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

56. But, it certainly is for me to comment: how disgusting that this privileged elitist parades around

in a $12,000+ dress at an official White House function, while the homeless are living in cardboard boxes, literally across the street in Lafayette Square Park... it's shameful!!

[Sherman A1]

64. Sure

You are entitled to whatever opinion you wish to have and/or express about the topic. I suspect not much will change, but if you feel better have at it.

[Kittycow]

2. Good Lord...

It looks like the skirt around Grandma's boudoir table!

[Rhiannon12866]

3. Yes, it really does!

[WhiteTara]

29. Or that thing you put over the standup vacuum

to hide it. Even the little flower motif couldn't save this dress.

[Kittycow]

31. Haha..

[WhiteTara]

32. and what's up with the 888 price point?

I mean really--why not say $13,000?

[Bob Loblaw]

4. It's her money to spend.

But it doesn't buy taste.

[Achilleaze]

5. I'veanka soon to be indicted for bad taste

Jar Jar will pay the price for Excessive KGOP Smirky Smarmyness

[Squinch]

9. Good God, is there a bigger dweeb out there than Jared?

[Croney]

6. I like the dress. It looks like something a teenager

would have worn to prom in some previous decade. This person wearing it makes everything ugly because her evil shines from within. If a radiant Michelle Obama wore it, it would be gorgeous.

We all spend our money differently, and she's rich. I'm not rich, but I splurge on relatively frivolous things. It's not a rich vs. poor thing we fight.

[petronius]

44. 80s prom dress was my reaction, too

And now I have Pretty in Pink stuck in my head, which is a pretty good earworm to have...

[SharonAnn]

58. I thought it was the type that Ginger Rogers would've worn

while dancing with Fred Astaire.

[WePurrsevere]

63. That was my thought as well. Other than the floral bunch...

At the waist (not my thing) I think it's a rather fun and pretty dress. She certainly has the figure for it and while I agree it's a ridiculous amount to pay for a dress, it's not my money she spent on it so it's not my issue.

I just can't get worked up over how someone looks or their taste in clothes. I'm far from perfect looks wise, I like clothing styles others may not and don't care for other styles others may love. I judge a person by their actions, not appearance.

[madaboutharry]

7. That is an awful dress.

I can’t decide if it looks like an Easter dress for a five year old or a shower curtian.

That said, the Kushners have nothing to smile about.

[northoftheborder]

15. I think it is a lovely dress. She is slim enough to carry it off. It is a spring dress, and

a refreshing change from her perfectly plain solid color form fitting outfits. (I'm not an admirer of the person's qualities, just an opinion of the dress.)

[madaboutharry]

16. It is always a matter of opinion.

[Sentath]

30. Whole photo just looks under lit

Muddy and a bit washed out. I suspect it makes a whole world of difference for this piece.

I can only imagine the designer is very disappointed.

[zeusdogmom]

8. Oh my ....

That is one butt ugly dress. The sad part is she is an attractive woman and would look stunning in a simple, well designed gown. Most of the high school girls at last week's prom wore better looking dresses. At a fraction of the cost by the way. A few were even borrowed.

[Kittycow]

25. She would look stunning in a simple sheath of a designer fabric.

[avebury]

10. Looking at both her and Melania's dresses shows

that having money doesn't buy you class.

[SammyWinstonJack]

12. That's the truth.

[Vinca]

11. Well, look at the bright side. After the event you can have $12,888 curtains.

[Butterflylady]

59. Or a $12,888 dollar shower curtain

[Revanchist]

13. Is it just me

Or does it seem like the more expensive a designer name dress is the uglier it is?

[left-of-center2012]

14. He looks like Alfred E. Neuman

[scarytomcat]

39. he looks completely stoned

totally out of it
I still don't see where she is pretty at all.

[mr_lebowski]

55. Personally I'd dislike Jar-Jar quite a bit less were I to discover he showed up to that event ...

Totally blazed after smokin' up tough in the car in the parking lot before entering.

Just sayin'

[Zoonart]

17. Oh look...

well...well, where have they been? Holding seances in the attic to contact Roy Cohen? Guess she found that dress there too.

[Javaman]

18. how many meals could $12,888 buy for the homeless.

fuck this twit.

[el_bryanto]

19. Fashion is personal taste i suppose

Doesn't look bad to me.

Bryant

[Phentex]

20. I like it but it doesn't look like something that would cost that much...

Just like the stars in Hollywood are always looking for something that's a little different, so do many rich people. I could do without the floral thing stabbing her in the waist but overall I like it.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

21. $12,888.00!

And it’s not even leather!

[displacedtexan]

23. I saw what you did there!

I read yesterday that the big perm is back!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

50. Time to buy some Aquanet stock! 😏

[redwitch]

49. Love that scene!

One of my favorite movies too!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

51. Watch it at least once a year!

Awesome soundtrack!

[redwitch]

54. Indeed!

“Takes the edge off, evah so slightly.”

[displacedtexan]

22. The bodice is just weird. But it's not the dress.

Both Ivanka and Melania are built like runway models, but someone gave them ginormous hangy-down breasts that end about an inch above the natural waistline. This ruins the overall look of most formfitting dresses and makes the observer wonder what's wrong with the design. I'd love to know what Tim Gunn thinks of this dress and the shape of the woman wearing it.

[SharonAnn]

60. Yes, those are "Trump" boobs. Done by the same plastic surgeon?

[crazycatlady]

24. Reminds me of a Kate Hudson red carpet dress

?resize=480

[Kittycow]

27. The design lines reminds me of the prairie dresses of 1970s.

And The Little House on the Prairie, the grown-up years.

I had one myself!

[crazycatlady]

36. I wasn't around in the 70s

But I did have similar dresses in the late 80s/early 90s. American Girl (then historic dolls) were taking off and there were fashions to dress like your doll. My cousin had several of them (I wanted some of my own, but they were expensive) that I was handed down.

[Ilsa]

40. Nope. Not liking that one either. Looks more

like a costume instead of a dress.

[Ohiogal]

26. The rich surely are different from you and me, no?

That dress would have cost half of my husband's yearly salary as a teacher back when we were raising our 3 kids when they were toddlers.

[uponit7771]

33. +1, I'm watching the Talented Mr. Ripley and one of the character's reminds me EXACTLY of how

... Benedict Donald thinks and this thinking seems to be common among all the people they run around to some degree.

Not all but enough to make Red Don's mindset familiar

[Guilded Lilly]

28. I will never agree with the stupidity of ANYONE paying that kind of cash for a dress...

including and especially wedding dresses!

But I like the dress!! I think it is very kicky and cute.

[moriah]

38. All right, I bow to the fact everyone has different tastes.

But it's just not my style. At all. In any way.

[Guilded Lilly]

46. Which is totally cool 😎

[Hortensis]

48. I just had an image of myself in something like that

at any age. Not my taste or style at all either, a little regretfully actually. It's fun, kicky as said, and I'm fine with it on someone else. It's spring, after all.

[haele]

34. Neckline is a bit too busy, but otherwise, a nice vintage look for the under-30 types.

My 27-year old stepdaughter would look nice in it.
But again, the neckline is too high and a bit too busy; makes for an unattractive bust - someone wearing that neckline should be wearing at most a size b and have a long neck.

Should be a draped 1930's style instead of frilled. Then it would look somewhat like the dress Belloc gave Marion Ravenwood in the first Raiders of the Lost Ark.

[Sedona]

35. Just sayin'

[moriah]

37. Why is radically expensive clothing so often radically fugly?

Even if I had 13k to drop on a random dress I'd not wear again, I wouldn't be caught dead in that.

[Ilsa]

41. It makes her look like a little girl, IMO.

Personally, I think she should save the "I'm too young and innocent to go to prison" look for the judge.

[itcfish]

42. $12,000.00 or $12.00?

It is still a very ugly dress. But hell it's her money, who cares?

[cwydro]

43. I cant get enough of these posts that criticize women -

for their looks, their choices in clothing...everything.

All I can think is that every poster who engages in this is perfectly dresses, perfectly coiffed, perfect in every way.

I personally do not much care what people wear. I remember that was a big thing in middle school.

[B2G]

45. I just laugh remembering how incensed everyone got

when the right made fun of Michelle Obama's fashion choices. Same with Hillary.

And she wore some pretty high end duds herself. I remember them having an absolute fit over a pair of $550 tennis shoes she wore.

And DU gushed. So funny!

[Hortensis]

47. That's not my image of people who'd get so hostile

over Ivanka's clothes. I'm slopping around home in an oversize t-shirt and synthetic jersey-type elastic-waist slacks right now, but the people I know who are always well groomed and dressed tend to adhere to standards somewhat above this in other respects also. There are exceptions, of course, and I'm imagining Andrea Mitchell and her DC cohort chortling over vicious lies about Hillary Clinton, but that's pure malice, not resentment or jealousy.

[itcfish]

65. I Think It's More

of a comment on the correlation between price and the merchandize, not a critique of her taste.

[RockRaven]

52. With the god-awful bad taste her father has

she was really doomed from birth. Not that I feel sorry for her in any way.

[Freethinker65]

53. Meh. Ugly dress, uglier person wearing it. She can afford that and more with her tax cut.

[CelticWinter]

57. yuck

reminds me of what my gramma had wrapped around her bathroom sink.

[Dreamer Tatum]

61. Michelle Obama wore a $12K dress as well

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2557639/Michelle-Obama-covers-famous-arms-12-000-Carolina-Herrera-gown-White-House-state-dinner.html

[lunamagica]

62. Why are these dresses so expensive? Like Meghan Markle's 32 K engagement dress, and I read that

hew wedding gown may cost 400k.

Is just fabric anf thread, and I guess some have things like pearls and Swarosky crystals, but still, it boggles the mind
