“...her stylist took a different approach with this ruffle-front dress, customizing it by adding sleeves....”

Oh, how much did that cost?

I wondered the same—custom and where did the extra fabric come from? That gets beyond the $35 dollar rack price.

This make-her-look-down-to-earth just like everyone else—is a fail.

They’re working hard to reel in that Michelle Antoinette image the FLOTUS has developed, bah!

Let them eat chit! We’re not buying it. :p

Well, at least that woman had sleeves on this time.

She goes around in the dead of winter, sleeveless with wool stockings, just so we fawn over her arms. Just like Barry, ego-ego-wego.

That's what I wondered. Most likely, she turned a $35 dress into a $350 dress. That's $70 for two dresses. (One for the fabric to make sleeves out of), one hour of a designer's time at $200 per hour, one hour for a pattern maker to draw up the pattern, at $50 per hour, and one hour for a seamstress to cut and sew the sleeves, at $30 per hour. I'm just guessing at how much these people charge, but I'm betting my estimate is way low.
