Extractions: CNN.com Writer ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) When Jimmy Carter became U.S. president in 1977, his wife, Rosalynn, donned the same inaugural gown she wore when he was elected governor of Georgia. But her sentimental attachment to the blue chiffon dress didn't carry much weight in the fashion world. "The fashion industry was just merciless to her because she wasn't buying a new, up-to-date gown," said Edith Mayo, curator emeritus of women's history at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History.

http://clinton4.nara.gov/WH/glimpse/firstladies/html/firstladies.html

Extractions: The American people have made the role of the First Lady one of the most important jobs in the country. It happened because each First Lady from Martha Washington onward contributed to her husband's historical reputation. It is a tribute to American women that, coming from different social and economic backgrounds, from many different geographical regions, and with diverse education preparation, each First Lady served our country so well. Each left her own mark, and each tells us something special about our history. The White House Historical Association has published The First Ladies to give us an opportunity to know these fascinating women better. The biographies were written by Margaret B. Klaphthor, Curator Emeritus of the Smithsonian Institution. Mrs. Klapthor has spent 50 years studying our First Ladies, and her findings put each woman into perspective. She highlights their individual achievements as well as their qualities that make them similar. As we learn about them, we begin to see that these women usually reflect the time in which they lived, so much so that a look at their lives becomes a panorama of women's history in America. Managing the social life at the White House and the personal welfare of the President and their families, the First Ladies set a standard for the women of their day. In addition, they brought their own interests to the same wide audience. From the relative obscurity of the earliest First Ladies, a few shine like stars. We see Abigail Adams passionate love for John Adams, in her patriotism, and in her political and social beliefs. Dolley Madison dazzles Washington with her social skills and also proves to be an especially astute politician who aids her husband's presidential activities. Sarah Polk also assists her husband's political career. Acting as the President's private secretary, she enjoys more politics than entertaining.

Online NewsHour: Inaugural Fashion
At the National Museum of american history, the first ladies Gown Exhibit alwaysattracts attention, just as each gown did on its debut, says Mayo.
http://www.pbs.org/newshour/inauguration/fashion.html

Extractions: Amidst the pomp and circumstance surrounding the inaugural ceremony, many Americans eagerly await a glimpse of their first lady's ball gown. It is a tradition that goes back to the earliest celebrations of the new republic. Martha Washington used social celebrations to further her husband's career throughout their marriage. Mary Todd Lincoln lamented that she had to wear the most expensive clothes because she was scrutinized everywhere she went. In 1889, First Lady Caroline Harrison took advantage of her high profile moment to reinforce her husband's campaign theme. Benjamin Harrison had campaigned on the protection of home industries. According to Edith Mayo, curator emeritus of the First Ladies exhibit at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History, the gowns "caused a great deal of comment because they were the first all American-made gowns to be worn to an inauguration." Laura Bush's wardrobe This year, Laura Bush chose a Texas favorite to design her inaugural ball gown. Dallas designer Michael Faircloth has designed Mrs. Bush's clothes during her time as first lady of Texas.
