Wearing a Dress in Public Twice!




So Michelle Obama wore a Talbot's dress on the cover of the May 2009 issue of Essence, and then was photographed in it again July 6th while boarding Air Force One on her way to Russia! That image can be seen here and here. I really like that dress, mainly because I worked on improving the pattern and fit of the dress. We were working on interpreting the fashion design to make the bodice fit a woman with a chest, and making sure that the skirt draped properly on all figures. As you can see from the technical drawing, it has great details on the top of the bodice, which the First Lady seems to want to cover up with a cardigan!
