- Bruce Guthrie Photos Home Page: [Click here] to go to Bruce Guthrie Photos home page.
- Description of Pictures: First Lady Melania Trump will donate the gown she wore to the 2017 inaugural balls to the First Ladies Collection at the National Museum of American History. The vanilla silk crepe off-the-shoulder gown with a slit skirt, ruffled accent trim from neckline to hem and claret ribbon around the waist was designed by Hervé Pierre in collaboration with Mrs. Trump.
For more than a century, the First Ladies Collection has been one of the most popular attractions at the Smithsonian. “The First Ladies” exhibition explores the unofficial but important position of First Lady and the ways that different women have shaped the role to make their own contributions to the presidential administrations and the nation. Mrs. Trump’s gown will be added to this exhibition which features 26 dresses, including those worn by Jacqueline Kennedy, Laura Bush and Michelle Obama and more than 160 other objects. “The First Ladies” encourages visitors to consider the changing role played by the First Lady and American women over the past 200 years.
Who:
* First Lady Melania Trump
* David Skorton, Secretary, Smithsonian Institution
* John Gray, director, National Museum of American History
* Hervé Pierre, designer

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.
