glamgirl, I am sure the fashion blogs will have that info soon, hang in there! It's possible it was custom made!

^ thanks! I really want to see it just plain without her added accessories. If anyone finds it please let me know!!

I loved the dress. Thought it looked great on her too. It was very distinctive, individualistic. A needed break from the Stepford Political Wives Look, you know the posh-fitted-suit-and-pearls look that has been around since, oh, Nancy Reagan. Although maybe I'm just old and have watched too many presidential doings in which all the women have the pearls-and-pillbox-hat thing going on.

I also did not find the dress flattering nor appropriate for the occasion. I've seen her in far nicer things.

Pretty weird pattern black and red in the front.

Narciso Rodriguez was the designer for this red and black dress

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.

I completely agree.

I personally liked the dress. I don't think their was anything wrong in the choice of colors. Black for mourning, Red for Victory I suppose. At the same time it was evening conservative. If that makes any sense.

The dress was beautiful and absolutely appropriate.

It looked kind of a combo celebration-casual to me. Looking at it , it kind of grew on me.
It was certainly no Marie Antoinette moment.

I am sure that dress was not over the top cost-wise.

ITA. It grew on me as well. I can't say I would have picked it out for her, but I am appreciative that she broke with tradition (ie monochrome suit, pearls, diamond studs, etc).

Yep!

I agree it kind of made her look preggers. But she's I think she pulled it off.

that dress on the model looks HOT...maybe michelle isnt stick straight and shapeless which is why people didnt think it looked great on her. Shes very fashionable, I think she looked great and so did the children. They are in mourning afterall.
