Dressing the First Lady: Costumes and Causes
In this PowerPoint presentation, paired with a live narration, the historical and contemporary ROLE of FIRST LADY, often the most public and approachable face of a presidential administration, is examined through the causes each worked for and selected garments each wore as First Lady. Often neglected themes covered are the influence of Dolley Madison in shaping the role of First Lady, favored First Lady silhouettes over the centuries, campaign-wear from the Eisenhower era, and the influences of African-American and minority designers on the clothing worn by our First Ladies.
