Texas First Ladies Historic Costume Collection at Texas Woman’s University

June 25, 2015

I was so honored when Texas Woman’s University asked for the scarlet red gown I wore to the Inaugural Ball to become a part of their Texas First Ladies Historic Costume Collection. It is such a privilege to have my gown join others worn by former Texas First Ladies and other notable Texas women as part of the collection.

If you are ever in Denton or close by, I encourage you to visit the Texas First Ladies Historic Costume Collection, as well as the Texas Women’s Hall of Fame, both housed at Texas Woman’s University.

Thank you to Texas Woman’s University for your commitment to preserving this part of Texas history.
