I am going to miss them so much, regardless of how much I will enjoy Hillary in the White House. <3

Oh Yes

2nd pic like Jessica Rabbit!

Graceful and elegant.

Or able to afford it. The mail is expensive! And really heavy.

And it may be a vintage '80s dress that she rented (or was given to wear) for the occasion. This happens all the time.

I googled it, but still not sure. Does it have metal threads and is it heavy?

This is an interesting mesh fabric.

Very fine (0.08mm) rustproof 316L Stainless Steel wire
is knitted with 40% polyester yarn to create a stretchy fabric
that is easy to touch and wash, but wears tough.

It's fine wire woven into polyester cloth. It doesn't LOOK all that heavy, but I can't imagine what it would take to sew on it.

That is what is used with many types of fabrics that could be damaged if a needle pierced a thread and pulled it.

Ballpoint Similar to a universal needle but has rounded edges and is not tapered the same way. Intended for closely knit fabrics where the rounded tip will push the weave out of the way rather than cut through it.

For that dress?

Depends on how wide the mail is made. In regular fabric 45" wide it might take 5 to 6 yards. Think at least 2 shoulder to floor lengths plus some extra for drape.

And some mail (mail means chain. so "chain mail" means "chain chain"...but...y'know....) is not woven into a fabric but is actually interlocked metal pieces. I hear some of Giani Versace's designs like this from the 80s (this may be one) weigh a lot.

glad I lived to see them in the WH.

Such Beauty and Grace.

for the Obamas. They have done us so proud in the face of such hatred and bigotry. I am so proud of them and so very ashamed of a lot of so-called "Americans." I am going to miss them so much.

but I'm sure it will be wonderful for them to be out of the limelight and stressful situations.

I am going to MISS HER.

Sorry, but Jackie had nothing on Michelle.

missed opportunity for Prez. Obama to rope in the Final Fantasy crowd or the furries with some creative cosplay, but still a solid electoral play

It has such a smooth look. She's just gorgeous in it. Her figure is beautiful, too. It's not a standard hourglass, but she has a tiny waist that she gives the dress awesome curves. I like that she's tall, too.

probably....

The soiree for Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi

And, as long as I was on that page

“We’re Jews, but we identify as Italian,” joked comedian Jerry Seinfeld. By way of explaining why the Obamas may have invited him and his wife, Jessica, Seinfeld said they spend a lot of time traveling in Italy “and we almost exclusively go out for Italian food, but that’s as far as I can figure.”

and I heard he was over the moon with appreciation to do it.

I have no idea.

Michelle O certainly fills the bill.

And I love the way they are looking at each other in second picture.

And President Obama looks sharp too! Great looking couple!

oh well. what do I know. I love Michelle though.

There were a couple of dresses that I didn't care for but I think that she can wear the hell out of dresses/gowns.

My mother (r.i.p.) hated the dress that she wore 2008 election night.

and I agree, Michelle is a gorgeous woman

PLEASE?

represent us!

And he's pretty hot, too. What a beautiful couple, inside and out!

He was (is) known for making elegant wear out of materials never meant for elegant wear...like mail.

And vinyl





and denim





Here are some more mail dresses. (they weigh a ton. Notice how he just drapes the mail like it were silk)

The girl's got it going on. God, I'm gonna miss these two; intelligence, charm, grace, and heart.

Barack married up. Course I guess most of us men do.

Our favorite warrior for women and children will be leaving the battlefield.
