Designers Offer Knock-Offs of Michelle's Inaugural Day Dresses

While most of us can't afford the original Jason Wu one-shoulder dress or the Isabel Toledo dress and coat First Lady Michelle Obama wore on inauguration day, designers are offering the look for less.

EdressMe is now accepting pre-orders for their version of Wu's white ballgown. It costs $320 and will be delivered in March.

ABS is offering their version of Toledo's jacket ($300) and sheath dress ($150). The Wu ballgown will price from $300 to $350 and will be available by March or April.

Faviana is selling a version of the dress and jacket for $450, while the ballgown will sell for about $400.

In related news: Apparently, the New York Times outed designer Jason Wu to his extended family. In the article that ran last week, the writer mentioned Gustavo Rangel, Jason's boyfriend.
