As she introduced her father on the convention stage in Cleveland Thursday, Ivanka wore a simple blush-colored sleeveless dress from her own fashion line. After she [tweeted a link](https://twitter.com/IvankaTrump/status/756492146484580352) to a similar dress (priced at a reasonable $138) from the Ivanka Trump Collection Friday morning, the item sold out on [Macy's](http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/ivanka-trump-sleeveless-studded-sheath-dress?ID=2846058&CategoryID=69934#fn=sp%3D1%26spc%3D43%26ruleId%3D65|BS%26slotId%3D2) and [Nordstorm](http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ivanka-trump-sleeveless-sheath-dress/4402070?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&fashioncolor=BLUSH)'s online stores just several hours later. In a convention rife with missteps, Ivanka's modest fashion choice is emerging as a shining moment of good sense for the Trump camp. It also provides a calculated contrast to a campaign filled with fashion faux pas, like Ivanka's father giving out fake diamond cufflinks and the [$12,000 Armani jacket worn by Hillary Clinton](https://money.com/hillary-clinton-armani-donald-trump-suit/) while she preached about inequality. ***Read More*: [13 Memorable Money Moments in American Political Fashion](https://money.com/political-fashion-gaffes-clinton-trump/)** The dress also sets Ivanka apart from her stepmother [Melania](https://money.com/melania-trump-plagiarize/), who wore a $2,190 designer dress when she made her speech on the convention stage Tuesday. The cotton silk off-white dress worn by Melania, created by London-based designer Roksanda Ilinic sold out on Net-a-Porter within hours of her speech, [according to ABC News](http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/pouf-melania-trumps-2200-rnc-dress-sells/story?id=40717529). Thursday was not the only night of the convention on which Ivanka modeled her own designs. The [white floral dress](http://www.bonton.com/sc1/query/ivanka%20trump/ivanka-trump-floral-party-dress-1066721.html) she wore on Wednesday, which she also designed, is priced at $158 and is still available for purchase on the website of retail chain Bonton.com. *Update: This story has been clarified to note that the dress Ivanka wore on Thursday night is not currently available.* ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@graph": [ { "@type": "BreadcrumbList", "@id": "https://money.com/ivanka-trump-dress-convention/#breadcrumb", "itemListElement": [ { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 1, "name": "Home", "item": "https://money.com" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "name": "Lifestyle", "item": "https://money.com/lifestyle/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "name": "Fashion", "item": "https://money.com/fashion/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 4, "name": "Ivanka Trump Wore a Dress She Designed at Republican National Convention" } ] }, { "@type": "WebSite", "@id": "https://money.com/#website", "url": "https://money.com", "name": "Money", "publisher": { "@id": "https://money.com/#organization" } }, { "@type": "WebPage", "@id": "https://money.com/ivanka-trump-dress-convention/#webpage", "url": "https://money.com/ivanka-trump-dress-convention/", "name": "Ivanka Trump Wore a Dress She Designed at Republican National Convention", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://money.com/#website" }, "datePublished": "2016-07-22T14:30:26.000Z", "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://money.com/ivanka-trump-dress-convention/" }, "inLanguage": "en-US", "breadcrumb": { "@id": "https://money.com/ivanka-trump-dress-convention/#breadcrumb" }, "dateModified": "2024-04-17T02:59:30.000Z" }, { "@type": "Article", "headline": "Ivanka Trump Wore a Dress She Designed at Republican National Convention", "articleSection": "Lifestyle", "image": [ { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://img.money.com/2016/07/gettyimages-578769074.jpg", "width": 3000, "height": 2105, "caption": "IVANKA TRUMP" } ], "author": [ { "@type": "Person", "name": "Kerry Close", "url": "https://money.com/author/kerry-close/", "@id": "https://money.com/author/kerry-close/#author", "sameAs": [ "https://x.com/kerryclose" ] } ], "publisher": "https://money.com/#organization", "datePublished": "2016-07-22T14:30:26.000Z", "description": "Ivanka Trump wore a $138 dress she designed as she introduced her father at the Republican National Convention Thursday.", "abstract": "Ivanka Trump wore a $138 dress she designed as she introduced her father at the Republican National Convention Thursday.", "@id": "https://money.com/ivanka-trump-dress-convention/", "inLanguage": "en-US", "dateModified": "2024-04-17T02:59:30.000Z", "wordCount": 270, "keywords": [ "2016 Election", "Donald Trump", "Ivanka Trump", "pubdesk", "Republican National Convention" ], "about": [ { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Lifestyle", "sameAs": [ "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifestyle" ] }, { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Fashion", "sameAs": [ "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fashion" ] } ] } ] } ```
