  1. Designers are challenged with creating a garment that captures the intended wearer's silhouette while creating the illusions necessary to minimize figure flaws. In this brief YouTube video the designer scored big with Barbara Bush's navy and royal blue gown.

  3. DEAR Melania, thank you for having been and for being FOREVER and FOREVER a great lady, a great WOMAN, with your Intelligence, your finesse and distinction You will ALWAYS be an example of all of us women to follow

  4. Melania Trump has been the most beautiful elegant first lady ever in the White House👍 We love you Melania❤️

  5. I wish they'd tell us about the daytime outfits as well. The pink one Hillary Clinton wore in 97 and the white one Laura Bush wore in 2005 are two of my favorite looks for both of them.

  6. Hillary's blue dress really nice. Melania's dress high fashion elegance, my favorite, I wish I could wear something like that one day. Laura Bush looked also elegant in an appropriate dress for her age. The rest of the dresses I didn't like much.

  7. Hilary Jackie Laura and Michelle is best. Jealousy of TRUMP is Michelle and OBAMA.
    GOD BLESSED Michelle and OBAMA
