CELIA ALTA HASKINS FAUBUS
Wife of Orval Eugene Faubus, 36th Governor (1955-1967)

Mrs. Faubus wore a floor length, white satin gown to the inaugural ball. The fitted camisole-style bodice features wide shoulder straps and extends below the waistline. A tucked-satin insert yields an empire effect. Black thread embroiders the bodice and it is encrusted with pearls and rhinestones. A bell shaped skirt gives the effect of an hourglass silhouette. White kid sandals with pearl buckles, formal length white kid gloves, and a rhinestone necklace and earrings complete the ensemble.
