Second Kunin Inaugural Gown

Second Kunin Inaugural Gown

Horseman, Elaine

Evening gown worn by Governor Madeleine Kunin at her second inaugural ball. Designed by Elaine Horseman of Essex Junction with Kunin's input. The fabric in the skirt is a shot silk: woven with a blue/green in one direction and black in the other, so that it appears to change colors. The particular shade of teal was one that Kunin had in mind when beginning the design process, and took Horseman some time to find. She eventually sourced the fabric in Montreal.
