We had the chance to take in the first lady collection at the Texas Woman's University in Denton, TX on a recent trip. It was amazing. I've used their data base for years. I did take some snaps, including my John being silly.
WE LOVE HIDDEN OR not so hidden tailoring on 40-50's dresses. They just don't make them like they used to. Notice the perma pleats hiding between the fabric covered buttons.
