Barbara Bush Coined A New Color
George H.W. Bush was inaugurated as President of the United States in 1989, just a few years before George W. Bush took the oath of office. Designer Arnold Scaasi was enlisted by his wife, Barbara Bush, to assist with the project. Scaasi was known for designing costumes for First Ladies such as Mamie Eisenhower over his long and illustrious career. Because of the dress’s two-tone blue colours, it was given the name “Barbara Blue” Both the bodice and the skirt are made of navy blue velvet and royal blue satin. A famous Princess Diana puff, which was popular in the 1980s, is featured on the sleeves. Judith Leiber created her famous pearl necklace and matching pocketbook, which are both available online.

Hillary Clinton Received Her Gown Prior To The End Of The Election
In 1993, Bill Clinton began his first term as president of the United States. He was dressed in a classic black tuxedo, while his wife, First Lady Hillary Clinton, was dressed in a violet gown. Sarah Phillips, a designer who is one of her favorite but is relatively unknown, was contacted. Hillary requested that Phillips submit her sketches before Clinton had even been declared the winner of the election. The ball gown had an overskirt made of silk mousseline in an iridescent blue hue. Long sleeves and a high neckline are embellished with sparkling lace. Phillips was originally from Arkansas, which happened to be Bill Clinton’s home state and where he had previously served as governor. Barbara Matera Ltd., a costume designer, worked with her on this project.
