May, 2010: Michelle Obama's gown for Wednesday night's state dinner for Mexican President Felipe Calderon and his wife, Margarita Zavala, was made for Mrs. Obama by New York designer Peter Soronen.
October, 2011: U.S. President Barack Obama (R) and his wife Michelle (2nd L) pose with South Korean President Lee Myung-bak (2nd R) and his wife Kim Yoon-ok (L) as they arrive for a state dinner at the White House in Washington October 13, 2011.
Upon closer inspection, it seems these are NOT the same dress - they are the same identical pattern but each version is of a different fabric - so instead of simply 'tightening her belt' Michelle is pissing away cash to have a high dollar designer make a nearly-identical copy - even the color is similar...... I want THAT job!
Hey, they got money to throw around. Why aren't the protesters on Wal-mart Street protesting THEIR greed? :)
ReplyDeleteI have dressed, and undressed, thousands of models and others of the gender female.
ReplyDeleteI've never had to purchase so myc fabric for a single dress before. But as you see the design is good, it does indeed hid he ever widening girth! No it does make her look good or even better, just smooths out the lines like distance does to the rocky mountains!
Omar the tent maker is very very happy!
Thank you for noting. :)
