"If you&amp;#x27;ve been reading this blog for a while, you know our number one style tip for absolutely every woman is to find a genius tailor who can rework wardrobe favorites into totally new pieces on a whim. Looks like Michelle Obama has hers on speed dial, if a recent outfit choice is any indication... At last week&amp;#x27;s National Design Awards, the first lady looked elegant as ever in a sleeveless Ikat print dress by Derek Lam. If it looks familiar, that&amp;#x27;s because she&amp;#x27;s worn it before... ...to a dinner in Indonesia back in 2010, when it still had sleeves, according to the always-observant bloggers at Mrs. O. She had the sleeves snipped off and the edges finished, and she has herself a totally fresh-looking dress! (We&amp;#x27;ve also seen her add sleeves before, like with this H&amp;amp;M polka dot number). It&amp;#x27;s such a simple trick, and yet totally transformative, don&amp;#x27;t you think? Do you have any long-sleeved dresses you&amp;#x27;d get much more use out of if they showed more skin? Are you inspired by Michelle Obama to take &amp;#x27;em to the tailor? Which version of this dress do you like better? Discuss!
