What Michelle Obama's State Of The Union Dress Looked Like Before It Was Altered

First Lady Michelle Obama wore a dress by designer Jason Wu again Tuesday for the State of the Union speech last night, and looked stunning. 

Michelle Obama showing her arms at the speech was seen as a risky fashion move.
