The most interesting object is the dress of Sonia McMahon, she wore this dress when she was going to the White House with her husband, William McMahon. It was designed and made by Victoria Cascajo in 1971, the material of this dress is crepe. It only be used for one time, that is in the meeting of American President Nixon. It is not just a dress, it's also a representation of the First Lady about the whole country. Also, Sonia claimed to have chosen the sleek design because she was "sick of the normal frilly, frothy things".
The unique design of this dress make Sonia became the focus of all people. It's a quiet famous design in 1970s, because the designer told the Australian Women's Weekly, "Mr McMahon and President Nixon thought it beautiful, and they were right… The dress shows no skin at all. It is fully lined with flesh-colored organza."
This dress was designed for Sonia only, so there is no one else wears it before. But in 2005, Sonia wore a replica of this dress to accompany her actor son Julian to the Golden Globe Awards.
