Gown-Gate

(Fox News) - In 2006 first lady Laura Bush attended the Kennedy Center Honors here in Washington wearing the same red Oscar de la Renta gown worn by three other women. So the Washington Times reports that if you plan on attending any of the balls during inauguration week — and do not want to be caught in the same awkward situation — you should register your dress.

The Web site dressregistry.com allows women to list their gown and the event they plan on attending. The site's founder, Andrew Jones, says women can "review the types of gowns others will be wearing. The only thing they can't do is see who is wearing what. That would be cheating.
