Love the full-skirted Sophie Theallet dress that Michelle Obama wore to Ghana in 2009 (inset)? A similar design can now be purchased at Gap’s newly-launched N.Y.C. concept store (dedicated to CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund winners). For the limited-edition pop-up, which also stocks accessories by Monique Pean and menswear by Patrik Ervell, Theallet created a near-copy of Mrs. Obama’s breezy dress—the color of the skirt’s stripes and the lightweight cotton fabric are among the differences from the original—in both white and black for a more accessible $248.  Fans of Theallet’s feminine touches will also appreciate her other wallet-friendly Gap creations: a summer-ready ruffle-front dress ($248), a tie-front blouse ($148) and a tiered skirt ($198).

She is not a fashion icon! Dress is nothing earth shattering. Please stop!

THIS WOMAN IS ALWAY’S NEAT IN APPREANCE, AS WELL AS ALL THE “OTHER FIRST LADIES’. AND I’AM SO HAPPY THAT SHE IS NOT A SLOB, OR IS TRYING TO PLEASE ANYONE ELSE EXCEPT HER HUSBAND. WHICH IS THE WAY IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE. I MEAN CAN YOU IMAGINE BUSTING YOUR BEHIND TRYING TO BE AN ICON, WHEN YOU CAN DO SOMETHING MORE IMPORTANT.

Just wanted to say that I work at a large biotherapeutic corporation in Clayton NC and I support Barack Obama with all my being. I encourage all my friends and colleagues to re-elect Obama in 2012!! I LOVE YOU OBAMA
