So, McBride said dresses that have been worn are given to the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.archives.gov\">National Archives<\/a> alongside presidential papers, gifts and other items for museum exhibits.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/first-ladies-431.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Laura Bush\" class=\"wp-image-20477202\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/first-ladies-431.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/first-ladies-431.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/first-ladies-431.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Former first lady Laura Bush\u2019s chief of staff Anita McBride divulged the secrets of dressing first ladies. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s harder to repeat wearing the gowns because those are so much more noticeable than regular dresses or outfits or pantsuits,\u201d McBride continued. \u201cAnd they get a lot more scrutiny, of course, because they\u2019re usually related to major White House <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social<\/a> events or <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kennedy-center.org\/whats-on\/honors\/\">Kennedy Center Honors<\/a> or things like that. But they are tracked, so it helps to not repeat wearing a very visible item in another very visible way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The former White House staffer also dished about one \u201cfashion emergency\u201d when Bush, now 75, made an appearance on Fox <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a>. When an employee realized that the first lady was wearing the exact same shirt as a prior interview subject, Bush had to switch blouses with her press secretary.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith those kinds of regular day-to-day kind of events, you\u2019re not really tracking something as simple as a blouse and a pair of slacks quite as closely,\u201d McBride said. \u201cThat\u2019s a kind of little fashion emergency that can happen. You just quickly pivot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She also disclosed to Insider why first ladies <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.insider.com\/why-first-ladies-cant-wear-clothes-off-the-rack-2021-11\">don\u2019t wear clothes off the rack<\/a>, especially for large events. Rather, the women work with designers to create couture gowns for their soir\u00e9es. The reason? So the ladies don\u2019t wind up rocking the same dress as a guest.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"681\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/first-ladies-423.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=681\" alt=\"Laura Bush\" class=\"wp-image-20477200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/first-ladies-423.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1022 1021w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/first-ladies-423.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=681 681w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/first-ladies-423.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=341 340w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/first-ladies-423.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 681px) 100vw, 681px\"\/><figcaption>During the 2006 Kennedy Center Honors gala, Bush was forced to quickly change out of a gown to avoid wearing the same dress as other guests.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">FilmMagic<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>McBride recalled the White House reception before the 2006 <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/pictures\/kennedy-center-honors-4-12-06\/\">Kennedy Center Honors gala<\/a>, for which Bush was initially wearing an Oscar de la Renta dress that was pulled from the rack.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a beautiful, red, elegant gown that she was intending to wear for the Kennedy Center Honors,\u201d McBride said. \u201c[Former President George W.
