One of the biggest trends making waves in fashion right now is this quiet little storm known as Michelle Obama. It seems that no one can get enough of her effortless fashion sense that moves from pricey couture to bargain steals as quickly as the public moves from hating one political party to the next.

At a recent event at the White House, the Mom-in-Chief showed of her killer arms in what has become her signature silhouette by wearing a winter white sheath dress to the festivities. While the outfit is stunningly classic, what makes it noteworthy is that it’s what some are calling a moderately priced bargain from Talbots. At $200, it’s definitely a bargain for Mrs. Obama, but in our cash strapped economy, it’s not necessarily a deal for the rest of us.

Luckily, plus sized women looking to score a great sheath dress, like the ones worn by the First Lady, can find wonderful deals at retailers like Lane Bryant. For a stylish fashion piece in a daring color try this keyhole ponte knit dress in turtle green. Front and back contour seaming allow the dress to maintain its shape and highlight your curves while the half-circle cutout on the bust lends itself to an art deco feel. At just $80, you can get all of Mrs. Obama’s style at less than half the price.
