THE Dress...details?

15 years ago

Has anyone seen details of the ball gown Michelle Obama wore last night? Hot Topics Forum has opinions, but would like a close up. The 'fluttery' appliques(?) remind me of a Dior fabric of many decades past that were made with silk circles of fabric with raw edges frayed. I think these had beads in the centers.

Thanks for the site annie. I thought there was just one crystal beaded motif, when it appears there are at least 2 or more. I imagine there is a bit of weight to the gown. How soon do you think the Smithsonian will display it?

I don't know how soon a First Lady's dress goes on display. I would think pretty quickly especially in the case of a situation like this, where the historical significance is so great.
