For George H.W. Bush’s inauguration in 1989, Barbara Bush was drawn to a bold blue gown with a velvet bodice, and she wasn’t alone. The dress was a piece from designer Arnold Scaasi’s line that he had already sold to three other elites. Faced with the prospect of his most famous client showing up wearing the same outfit as someone else, Scaasi took on the uncomfortable task of calling up the other ladies and convincing them that, you know, they should probably wear the dress some other time. Barbara went on the be called “America’s most glamorous grandmother.”
