"Do you remember the 2006 Kennedy Center Honors, when First Lady Laura Bush showed up in a red two-piece Oscar de la Renta dress? And then (cringe!) so did another woman!? And then not one, but *two *more, for a grand total of four D.C. divas in the exact same dress? Quelle fashion disaster! Well, a new website has arrived to ensure the same thing won&amp;#39;t happen to Mrs. Obama come January 20.\nPinterestFacebookDressRegistry.com, a site that launched in early December, is here to help attendees of the Presidential Inaugural Ball, and a host of other society events, avoid the embarrassing fate suffered by Mrs. Bush (who, it should be noted, gracefully changed into another gown but was unfortunately immortalized on the White House Christmas card wearing the incredibly popular Oscar number) by letting them &amp;quot;register&amp;quot; their dresses for formal events.\nPinterestFacebookPHOTO: 2006 White HouseJust log on, let those other ladies know that the Nina Ricci beaded scoopback is yours and yours alone, and check up on what other attendees will be wearing. You can even upload a photo or a SKU number to make sure there&amp;#39;s no confusion. I did a bit of snooping around (naturally) and found that the Presidential Inaugural Ball will feature a few women in Chanel, one in Isaac Mizrahi, one in Dolce &amp;amp; Gabbana, and one silver Baby Phat floor-sweeper with a plunging neckline (hmm...the jury&amp;#39;s still out on how well that particular guest will fare).\nAs anyone who has ever shown up to a party in the same dress as another guest can tell you, it sucks! (Especially if the other guest is thin and blonde and beautiful and has never even heard of the word &amp;quot;cellulite.&amp;quot;) This is kind of a saving grace--the concept is so simple and yet, so damn smart, don&amp;#39;t you guys think? Would you register your dress if you were invited to a fancy schmancy ball? Would you do some digging to find out what the other guests would wear? And have you ever shown up to an event in the same outfit as someone else? Discuss!\nBottom photo: Getty Images"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
