The Starter Fug

Okay. So....maybe I have set the TiVo to record The Starter Wife, that mini-series Debra Messing is starring in. I know this is not particularly cool of me, maybe, but look: there's nothing else on, it might have cute outfits, and...I mean, you know I TiVo Ghost Whisperer. I clearly have no televisual shame.

But if she shows up at in point wearing this, I am hitting the delete button:

While I rather like the smocking at the waist and the cheery Lucille Ball Day Dress-ness of it all (although...I feel like that point has already been made re: Debra),  this isn't supposed to look as though there are lead weights sewn into the hem, correct?

Just checking.
