EWILDA GERTRUDE MILLER ROBINSON
Wife of Joseph Taylor Robinson, 23rd Governor (January 1913)

Mrs. Robinson wore a cream colored inaugural dress made of lace and silk brocade. A lace bertha collar trimmed in beads and crystals frames the neckline. Chiffon rosebuds adorn the top of each shoulder. The sleeveless bodice has a natural waistline with a sash belt trimmed in crystals and beads. The flared skirt is draped in the back and features a train. The front hemline is raised and exposes a straight underskirt of white satin and chiffon trimmed in crystal, silver, and bugle beads.
