The next look is the now reknown "Purple Dress". Joining her husband on stage in St. Paul, Minnestoa, to claim the Democratic Presidential nomination, Mrs. Obama wore this stunning sleeveless purple silk crepe sheath made for Mrs. Obama by Maria Pinto, the former Geoffrey Beene assistant who has long been an Obama favorite. This dress retails for about$900. Get comparable looks from Nordstrom and Sears for a fraction of the cost.

The first (bottom) dress comes from Nordstrom and retails for $158. It features the same simple sleeveless silhouette as the original dress. While this dress doesn't have a black belt- the ruched, wrapped bodice gives the appearance of a belted waist.

If you can't afford the $158 look, here's another dress that embodies the spirit of the orignial dress. The second look comes from Sears and retails for $37.50. While it dosen't have the shape of the original dress, the shape will flatter women with more curves. It also is the same rich purple as the originial and has the black belt that Mrs. Obama loves!
