Norah Jones Wears Dress by Unknown Designer at Grammy's; Michelle DeCourcy of Lake Oswego, Oregon Scores Big at Awards Show

PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Relatively unknown fashion designer Michelle DeCourcy of Lake Oswego, Oregon was shocked when recording artist Norah Jones wore one of her creations at Sunday's Grammy Awards. Jones, who received eight Grammy's including Best New Artist and Best Album, wore the black, v-neck, stretch lace dress given to her at the Billboard Awards rehearsal in January 2003. The dress has a suggested retail price of $202.

"If Norah was here right now I would give her a big hug!," exclaimed DeCourcy. "Come Away with Me has been an inspiration for my work since it was first released. Her graceful style and understated elegance would compliment any designer and I am so grateful she chose to wear my dress."
