dress pressure

with the inauguration just days away, everyone is buzzing about what michelle obama will wear...i'm hoping she goes with a young unknown designer but it's any one's guess. people magazine did a photo gallery of first lady inauguration dresses and some of the dresses are a.maz.ing!

oh course i had to start with jackie...so classic in a dress she designed herself...who knew!

yellow/mimosa is oh so in right now...i even love the neckline on this john moore gown on lady bird johnson.
get rid of the sleeves and this mary matise for jimmae dress for rosalynn carter is a winner (she even had the dress re-purposed because of the bad economy!)

this james galanos dress is pretty on nancy reagan...love the single shoulder

quite the cropped jacket on patricia nixon...karen stark for harvey berin

i left out the balls of boffant (thanks mom!) and sequins that hurt my eyes...yikes.
