DESCRIPTION OF MRS. BUSH'S ATTIRE
Wednesday, January 19
Inaugural Opening Ceremonies - Peggy Jennings Coat and Dress
Baby bouclé wool coat and dress in light green, accented with antique ivory grosgrain ribbon. The coat has an architectural notched collar and lapel, ribbon framed. Beneath is a jewel neck, long sleeve and column dress.
Inaugural Candlelight Dinners - Peggy Jennings Evening Gown A crystal rose hand beaded, re-embroidered lace gown over pink silk satin. The gown begins with a wide V neckline on a sculpted silhouette and is completed with a softly flounced scalloped hem.
Texas State Society "Black Tie and Boots" Inaugural Ball - Carolina Herrera Evening Gown
Raspberry awning-striped silk taffeta shirtdress.
Wow, cannot wait to see the First Lady in the Jennings evening gown. The Carolina Herrera Evening Gown is too much dress for my taste but I'm sure she'll wear it well.
