First Lady Melania Trump donated her inaugural ball gown to the National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C., Friday morning, adding to the museum's collection of 26 gowns worn by former first ladies.
The first lady wore the gown, a vanilla off-the-shoulder couture piece designed by Herve Pierre, the night President Trump took office at the Armed Forces inaugural ball. Pierre had two weeks to make the dress. The former model said making the donation was an honor.
"Today is such an honor as I dedicate my inaugural couture piece to the First Ladies exhibit at the National Museum of American History," the first lady said in a statement provided by the White House. "In addition to celebrating fashion, which is something I have loved since I was a small child, there is no better way to memorialize such a special evening, and new chapter in the life of our family."
The first lady said she, the president and their son Barron love living there.
The first lady has taken a relatively quiet, although increasingly public, role at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. She recently accompanied Mr. Trump to Texas, Florida and to Puerto Rico for the recent hurricanes, and has gone with him on foreign trips. Her approval ratings have actually climbed since she joined the White House, from 24 percent of Americans viewing her favorably in February to 54 percent of Americans viewing her favorably in a September CNN poll. She is also the most popular Trump working in the White House. In the same September CNN poll, 54 percent of respondents said they had a favorable view of the first lady, compared with 41 percent favorable of President Trump, 41 percent favorable of Ivanka Trump and 20 percent favorable of Jared Kushner.

She looked wonderful that night. I think she is the most beautiful First Lady we have ever had
Some drag queen on staff will probably borrow it for a party.
One can get the feeling a real sweet heart resides therein.
the Smithsonian is choc full of leftards. I was surprised they accepted this but I’m almost sure to say one of these jackholes will damage the dress.
Heh.
Mobama tried to donate her gowns too.
Goodwill refused them. Yuck. All sweaty and ugly.
I’m very surprised the Smithsonian didn’t cook up some reason not to accept her dress. “We have strict limits on exhibition spots!”.
“Some drag queen on staff will probably borrow it for a party.”
Prediction #1: It will not be displayed or it will be “lost”.
Prediction #2: Big Media is working hard on a big fashion statement/accolade announcement for the Fraud’s “wife” in response.
Yes and Cirque du Soleil is all set with regard to tents.
Yes, there have been well-dressed First Ladies, but not combined with model looks.
If she were a Dim FLOTUS, she’d be hailed on the covers of every women’s/design/fashion magazine non-stop for 8 (!) years.
Did you just make that up?

I may have made that up. The fact that Slick Willie DID donate his used underwear is not made up.
That did happen.
Lovely.
She should also donate her snake skin stilettos the hateful media had such a hissy over.
Just watch...someone on that Board will raise hell and try to reject the gift. Everything is political and hate with these people
Anything made of snake she should bequeath to the John McCain Memorial Library.
