Well, for starters, if the dress just didn't flatter her coloring, I'd
just let her know that it's not her best color, and maybe mention
another *specific* dress of a better color (mentioning the color, of
course) I've seen her in that I like better on her.
Or do the same sort of thing for the *line* of the dress.
Pick one little attribute like that and tell her what would flatter
*her* better than what she's wearing, at least on that attribute.
Or if you were going to be very blunt, tell her it's not to *your*
taste. That puts the problem on you, and not the dress. :)

who wore a dress she didn't care for all *that* much yesterday, but
considering it's the only dress she can wear right now with a bra she
can stand to be in for a few hours, and the only other clothing that
fits her is shorts & tops, and shorts were forbidden for the function,
she just wore the darn thing (and nobody criticized it, and if they had,
I'd've cheerfully told them it wasn't my favorite either, but it was a
dress that fit, which is more than could be said for anything *else* she
owns right now, and YES she wanted to go out on Friday and get a new
dress, but the weather was really bad at the ideal time to go shopping,
so she stayed home and vegged and looked up the quote in the Feynman
book and typed it in, instead)
