First Lady Michelle Obama with dress designer Jason Wu during an event where she donated her inaugural gown to the Smithsonian Museum of American History on March 9, 2010 in Washington, DC. Mrs. Obama continues a long tradition of first ladies who have donated their inaugural gown to be on display at the Smithsonian.

Well, it is not being recreated, nor sold by Jason Wu because the dress is going to the Smithsonian, but you can find it here for $320.00.

Now if you expect all the intricate detailing, like the Swarovski crystals, think again, it is a KNOCK OFF. But this is a dressmaker and like all dressmakers, I am sure if you call them, they can accommodate you.

The website has created a knockoff of the Wu gown. It is the same floor-length silhouette, with embellishment at the shoulder and texture throughout the skirt. But the knockoff is a strikingly brighter shade of white, rather than the soft ivory the first lady danced in.

The edressme.com version is available for pre-order now and will ship starting March 15. It’s $320 and would actually make a sweet wedding dress for brides on a budget.
