Costumes on display in DC...

I was in DC with friends and the Museum of American History had a bunch of different costumes on display.

Here are some of the First Lady gowns. Sorry, I was bad and don't have identifiers on a lot of them. They're mostly quick snaps. More info here: http://americanhistory.si.edu/exhibitions/first-ladies

Michelle Obama's gorgeous dress. I love the way she dresses and I think she's very stylish.

Edith Roosevelt's inaugural gown - the pattern for the fabric was destroyed so it couldn't be copied. Haha, they didn't have spoonflower then!

  1. Just a head's up. NAHM is really good about getting object photos up on the exhibit sites- that can help identify pieces.
