The world waits patiently for January 20th, when Barack Obama will be sworn in as President and fashionistas will finally discover just who Michelle Obama is wearing. The designer of today’s VPOD could certainly offer all those hopeful designers a few tips–after all, she has dressed First Ladies Mrs. Eisenhower, Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Nixon, and Mrs. Carter.

And you can channel some of that First Lady fashion sense yourself with today’s VPOD. This 1970s evening gown by Adele Simpson combines cobalt blue and emerald green rayon chiffon in a beautifully draped design with a gathered bandeau bodice. So the sparkling rhinestone medallion is missing one gem–who cares! Just regale anyone who notices with the fascinating tale of how you’re showing support for Asian rug weavers, who often leave an intentional flaw in their work as a sign of humility.

This is a bombshell blue find for a vintage fashionista!

Available at Vintage Martini.
