First Lady Mrs. O has debuted her ensemble for the state dinner, wearing a gown by Indian-American designer Naeem Khan. The strapless gown features hand cut sterling silver sequins sewn on nude silk chiffon, creating an abstract floral pattern. The dress is entirely handmade, requiring three weeks of work by 40 people, completed in Naeem Kahn's family workshop in India. The custom, one-of-a-kind gown was made specially by the designer for Mrs. O to wear to the state dinner, which honors Indian Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh, and his wife, Gursharan Kaur.
Outsourced the handmade dress to india? Do they have unions in India? /sarc
It's a nice dress but not on her. wrong color. She sticks out like a sore thumb and that upper chest flab is unattractive. How much Miracle Grow did she use on her boobs?
I have nothing nice to say or think about her. That sterling silver disgusts me. Can't wait to see the tarnish on that dress in a year.
She could have had that dress “made in America” just as well.
Now, I don’t feel sorry for the designers in our country, but it would have given jobs to 40 people in our country! Oh, I forgot, ‘she doesn’t like this country too much’.
I’ve been searching for the price of designing and sewing that dress by hand this morning but have not been able to find it! If anyone finds the price, give a shout to me!
It was a beautiful dress and I bet the price was out of this world.
