Mamie Eisenhower met her future husband, President Dwight D. Eisenhower, in San Antonio, Texas. Dwight was a military guy, and the two traveled a lot before Dwight campaigned for president and won by a landslide. Mamie, unlike previous first ladies, adored fashion! She also enjoyed acting as a hostess. Scaasi, Mollie Parnis, Trifari, and Sally Victor created some of her clothes. She was regarded as one of the era’s “best-dressed” ladies.
