Michelle Obama has long been a fan of designer Jason Wu, since she wore his number 17 from his Spring 2009 collection for her interview with Barbara Walters.
The $3,510 raw silk interview dress with hand-embroidered rosettes wass part of a line of elegant evening gowns and ladylike dresses selling in the $1,000 to $6,000 range. Wu told the Wall Street Journals Heard on the Runway that Mrs. Obama paid for the dress.
