First Lady Michelle Obama has made a name for herself as a daring, trendsetting dresser, unlike most of her predecessors, wearing styles that are flattering, approachable and fresh.

The dress she wore at the Democratic National Convention in August was no different.

Now, the gorgeous pink and grey sleeveless dress by Tracy Reese that had fashion bloggers drooling is available to anyone with a spare $400--not a small sum for a dress, but relatively reasonable for fashion at this level.

(Ann Romney's Oscar de la Renta dress worn at the Republican convention the previous week cost between $1,990 and $2,490, and Cindy McCain wore a dress, also by de la Renta, estimated at $3,000 at the RNC in 2008.)

Reese's website describes the dress:

A floral jacquard design covers the bodice of a sleeveless frock in a feminine, fit and flare silhouette complete with a multi-colored hemline. Finished with two in-seam front pockets.
