Does anyone know who makes the dress Michelle Obama wore tonight for Obama's speech? It was black and red and she was wearing a 3/4 sleeve black shrug with it. It's so pretty! (I dont know how to do a screen cap so if someone can help me out w/ a picture I'd appreciate it!)

Hmmm...I was thinking it was pretty but didn't do anything for her imo. And her youngest wearing a black dress. Not too fond of little girls (and boys) wearing black.

I'm sorry, but that thing was truly heinous IMO. I think she's very pretty, but the shading on it made her look pregnant!! I thought she was at first, simply because of the placement of the red. Maybe it'd look better on you though...

Are we allowed to discuss this ?
jk.
I liked it personally

jen512 · Nov 5th, 2008, 12:33 AM

i didn't like it either... i didn't think it was too flattering on her

I didn't like it either. What was she thinking!

/\/\/\ Ditto on Michelle's dress. I thought she was pregnant when she first walked out!

^^^^Don't hate.

KristyDarling · Nov 5th, 2008, 12:53 AM

Sorry I don't know who made the dress. I didn't think it flattered her, and it looked a little strange on camera...BUT, none of that mattered to me because I LOVED that it wasn't a stuffy, boring, predictable suit!!!! She is an elegant lady and can pull off pretty much anything she wears because of her confidence and poise.

glamgirl84 · Nov 5th, 2008, 12:56 AM

^ I agree it didnt do much for her. And I'm not sure what that black wrap thing around the middle was. But I'm hoping that is something extra she added to the dress. I liked the basic black dress w/ the red on the front.

habanerita · Nov 5th, 2008, 01:04 AM

Not the right choice for her or for the ocassion in my humble opinion...kind of weird looking dress!!!

If you realize the pattern resembled a Black Widow Sprider. I thought it was pretty strange for the occassion....

SunnyMcSunshine · Nov 5th, 2008, 01:11 AM

LOLOL I KNEW that dress was going to be in this forum.

Roo · Nov 5th, 2008, 01:12 AM

Its possible the colors have significance to them, since there was just a death in their family yesterday.

I am not sure how long this thread will be open, so try to stay focused on fashion if you can, gals.

glamgirl84 · Nov 5th, 2008, 01:14 AM

^ Yes please, Im really only interested in seeing if anyone knows where I can find the dress so please
