My friend wants to wear this dress to her daughter's kindergarten graduation. She plans on wearing different accessories (she doesn't like the pearls and belt with it). She really likes the cut and color--plus there's no AC in the auditorium.

Where can she get it?

ETA: She'll also consider anything similar...just no prints. :grin:

I thought Michelle looked great in that color last night!
Here's something similar from Nordstrom

That's a nice one. Thanks MsKipani! I'm going to email her this in the meantime.

I didn't like the pearls and the belt together...even with that, she looked fab as usual...

I like that dress from Nordtrom better. Personally I didn't like that dress on Michelle. It could have been done better. It makes her look older than what she is, and those accessories didn't help the matter either. I would have rathered for her to have taken off that black belt or something. The outfit was off.

My friend like the dress from Nordstrom too, but she's thinks the satin material is too shiny for a mid-morning graduation.

Well at least she has a choice if she doesn't find the exact dress.

Found! For $900 that dress can be yours:

What grabbed the eye was the sleeveless purple silk crepe sheath made for Mrs. Obama by Maria Pinto, the former Geoffrey Beene assistant who has long been an Obama favorite. Simple in silhouette and, at about $900 retail, not the kind of garment most working-class voters can reasonably aspire to, the dress was immediately subject to water cooler dissection.
