think that dress is the prettiest one she has worn, but no First Lady pays for those gowns full price if at all. For many designers getting their name out there is worth the cost of the dress. If I remember correctly, that bit of info. came out during the Kennedy adm...for first lady Jackie....
That dress does not look good on her, the skirt is way too full for her build. Someone here last night posted a picture of the back, it is horrible. It almost looked like those bustles women used to wear back in the old days to make their butt look bigger.
