Wow1 I think Michelle will look FABULOUS in that dress! Great color. I also think the girls dresses are very age appropriate and will look great on both of them! Love all the colors! Thanks for posting.

Most of the sketches are fabulous, although I'm not sure why Christian Lacroix has that whole Cruella DeVille in purple theme going on. I'm just excited to see a First Lady wearing something other than Oscar de la Renta (fingers crossed). I really like the Carolina Herrera ones and the Badgley Mischka gown.

I would have to say that most of these designs are very red carpet and lack a certain power and dignity. I like the Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel the best, although it is very jackie Kennedy-derivative looking, which Mrs. Obama may want to avoid in order to set her own mark.

These dresses seem to be for the ball and not the actual inauguration itself. In any case, can you imagine Michelle in that Betsy Johnson!?!

I thought 1, 18, and 24 were the classiest---there were so many good ones (and so many bad ones!)

My favorite was the first one. It really looks like her style, and the girls' dresses are great too!

It's got to be the Monique Lhuillier for the inaugural ball. I just want her to be beyond glamorous on that night!

It's going to be so excellent to have some real high fashion at the White House again. I love that everyone is clamoring to design for her!

I loved that yellow suit from Diane von Fuerstenberg I think. For the ceremony. It's like an updated Jackie O.

Michelle will be a classy first lady.

the sketches in general are fab though.

I liked numbers 3 and 4 the best.

Michael Kors' design actually looked really good. It's gorgeous.
