To mark yesterday’s inauguration, I’m taking you on a sartorial journey through the First Ladies’ inaugural ball gowns in this week’s episode of Works Not Cited!! From political meanings to personal touches, from the 19th to the 21st, I’m bringing you a quick look at some of the gowns worn by America’s First Ladies as they make their debut. Researching for this episode has made me fonder of Lady Bird Johnson’s yellow dress than I ever thought I would be.
