There are certainly some ways in which this Laura Linney outfit could be considered a success.

For instance, if she wanted to look like a crabby and brittle old socialite who is attending a charity ball to raise money for the surgical eradication of waists, then she has hit a home run. If she wanted to look like a Maria von Trapp/Martha Stewart hybrid who makes dresses out of leftover upholstery so that she will match her grandmother's antique dining-room chairs, then she has nailed it. If she forgot to wear a bra and wanted us to marvel at the ingenuity of adding a torso tourniquet at the last minute as a way of holding up the girls, then she is to be congratulated for a rousing success.
Let's just assume those were her goals and call this a win, because it's Friday, and Fridays are made of win.
