Michelle Obama State Dinner Dress


It's already been extremely exciting sitting at computer today," designer Peter Soronen told the Huffington Post this morning. Soronen, who crafted the shimmery blue gown that Michelle Obama wore to last night's State Dinner, is a veritable FLOTUS-dressing veteran.

"I think this is the fourth gown I've made for her, but I've made a few dresses too," he said. Soronen made this particular dress about three weeks ago as requested by Ikram Goldman, the First Lady's unofficial stylist, and "she hinted that it was for the First Lady but I really didn't know that she was going to wear it until I got a phone call that someone saw her in it."
