During our 2019 trip to Washington, DC we had the opportunity to see the ongoing exhibition of the
First Ladies Inaugural Gowns at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History.
The gowns were shown with the handbags and shoes that the First Ladies used during the inaugural balls. PLEASE NOTE I DID NOT SEE ALL THE DRESSES! A lot of people have commented that I don't show Melania Trump's dress. That's for the simple reason that I never saw it. There were a lot of people there the day we went due to Memorial Day week and it was extremely crowded, so I wasn't able to see everything.
It was a lovely exhibit and informative. You can find a bit more information here: americanhistor...

Dolly Madison’s dress was so beautiful, and it’s timeless, it still is fashionable.

And she was incredibly tiny. We went to her home Montpelier years ago and they had one of her dresses on a mannequin there. Both she and her husband were small.

I don’t think they excluded Melania, I just think they haven’t gotten hers yet.

I never saw her dress. Hard to take a picture of something you didn’t see.

Melania Trump’s gown was inspired by the Constitution. it was white, form-fitting, and the top had wispy chiffon. It also had a red thin sash that went around her waist. The sash represented a red ribbon tied around a rolled piece of paper, aka the Constitution. Melania is extremely patriotic.

@lekenaackerman9367 Ай бұрын

@skiddledede8885 you have to understand too, there is a process the Smithsonian goes thru to get those gowns put in the right places. A lot of processes lol. If I remember correctly, she has officially donate the gown. They make a big production out of it. While Trump was in office, it should have been in the center case. And if I remember correctly, it was there. They often times have to also donate the entire ensemble. That means the shoes, jewelry, coats and purses.

Can only wonder why you omit an eligible 1st lady, Mrs Trump; is it bc of your personal bias? Your personal opinion should not figure into what should be an all-inclusive listing.

I suggest you read all of the responses I’ve given to other people. I never saw her dress. These photos were taken 5 years ago, not last week. Please don’t make assumptions without reading prior comments.
