She was the absolute opposite of sexy in the first hour. She dressed like a sheltered 10 year old with no fashion sense.
shareHer outfits suit her character I think.
---------End of Line.
The actress is in her mid 30s. I think they are trying to make her look ypoung.
Why do women have to dress sexy? Do you expect men to dress sexy at all times? Because none of the guys on this show do.

Funny how you are stalking me to every board I post on. Boland.

Making an observation is not causing trouble. From what I've seen, the rabble rouser here is you. You're the troll trying to stir people up with ridiculous posts and insulting language.
We provide ... Leverage.
Agreed.
Those accounts are best ignored since the posts rarely say anything worthwhile.

She doesn't have to dress sexy, just not like a mental patient. RR doesn't dress sexy and her style is fitting of a woman. Cassandra looks like Rose from Two and a Half men, tacky fashion and all.
shareI've worked with a lot of mental patients. Trying to insult someone with that kind of reference is disgusting. They dress like anyone else. And as I said, her look was very popular once upon a time, so it isnt crazxy, its retro.

I agree about the reference to mental patients as an insult. As for retro, they always take the worst fashions from different decades and combine them. There were good fashions that have been completely ignored. Just because you put two different styles together and call it fashion, doesn't make it desirable. Unfortunately, some people follow the "fad fashion" way too closely.

She's a "nerdy girl".
They moved away from the cliched "ponytail and glasses" look that was the accepted nerdy girl appearance in the 1990s, and went for something new.

Cassandra favors the boho look, but she is too uptight about it. That lacy, flouncy, old-fashioned look is pretty common. Look at Anthro or Free People. But Cassandra seems to be tightly buttoned and buckled into her stuff, whereas the common fashion is for it to be flowing, loose, sort of nonchalant.
shareHah, we finally started watching S2 on Hulu and it seems she is favoring the ModCloth look this season. Much more uptight and still too youthful.

That's inspired!! Had not noticed that! You're right!
shareI couldn't agree more. My six year old granddaughter dresses better.
shareAgree. Why do female characters need to look sexy at all times? Why can't they just look average or normal?
shareI think she does look sexy
shareIn the second episode, she looked great. Nice tight, short skirt, lots of leg, & man, that tight top - wow, reminds me of my wife's body at that age...&...40 pounds ago...
shareShe looked good this week as she dressed like a grown woman.
Where is the face-palm emoticon when you need it?
Still has the body for a bunny outfit too.DEaD TWiNS LoLHis mum encouraged him.

She's not 16.
I don't know why people keep saying she doesn't look her age. She's the same age as me, 36, and she looks it. Saying otherwise just isn't true, sorry. Sure she's got tons of makeup on and is a pretty woman, but she looks like a 36-year old woman dressed like a 16-year old, nothing more.

Well, the first thing that struck me as odd in the very first episode was that these three failed to show up at the interview that got Flynn the job. And that was "ten years ago" as Flynn says. So, no matter how brainy she was 10 years ago, she had to have been at least legally employable as an adult. (Can you imagine the parents of a 15-year-old sending their kid off to work in a library that she can't tell them anything about?) So I'd say she's supposed to be at least 28-29.
But. I just watched the STEM Fair episode a few nights ago (first time through the series) and if her parents were pushing her so hard all the time, maybe she feels - maybe even subconsciously - that she has the chance to explore her inner child, or whatever bs way of phrasing it you want to use. She can wear "girly" fashions (as opposed to either "what the parents forced her to wear," which would probably have been sort of serious and grown up, or "what people consider appropriate for her current age now").
Also, the pushy parents may be a reason she's less socially developed than the others.
Agreed. I hadn't watched in awhile, mainly because I got so turned off by a mid thirties actress acting and dressing like a teenager. Nothing against that actress at all, but if they wanted a character who was in early twenties why didn't they cast one !!! I watched the season finale tonight and they showed a lot of close ups of Cassandra, and yes, she looks every bit of 36.

I do not see girls (any age) dress like that, 16 or otherwise. I'm from Southern California, and we have pretty liberal dressers here. I think her outfits make her look totally and absolutely ridiculous. Sexy is one thing, but these outfits are just awful.
shareCassandra looks just fine. It's her clothes that are really unattractive. I don't think she's worn one pretty outfit since the series started.

Occasionally one piece of clothing, like a skirt or a sweater or the shoes will be good, but I said outfit, Cat. Cassandra has never looked good from head to toe.

Have you forgotten the dress from Infernal Contract?

Agreed on the green gown.

Although the green gown is lovely and Cassandra looked beautiful in it, she wasn't dressing as herself, so I didn't count it. She's not a ten year old picking out her clothes in the dark, so why do they have her dress as one when she's being herself?

My 6 year old granddaughter dresses better, even in the dark.
shareI think she looks nice.
