I recently attended a lecture given by Meredith Long, curator of Meadowbrook Hall in Rochester, MI.
She told us that Matilda Dodge Wilson, owner of the estate owned several dresses designed by Sally Milgrim. She also commented that she would like to find a relative of Sally Milgrim. There was some discussion as to which department stores Sally actually owned. Sally did design Eleanor Roosevelt's dress for her husband's Presidential Inauguration. It is in the Smithsonian.
It seems highly likely that Sally also would have been invited to the White House.

I am sending your comment to Meredith Long.
