Dress Did Not Feature Drawings by Victims

Following First Lady Melania Trump’s July 3, 2020 appearance at Mount Rushmore to celebrate Independence Day, users across social media claimed that her dress featured drawings made by children who experienced sexual abuse. The dress, designed by Alexander McQueen, has a distinct scribble print that looks like it could be children's drawings.

However, the sketches were actually done by students in a life drawing class, not by victims of sexual abuse. The dress is described on Alexander McQueen’s website as a "dancing girls asymmetric midi dress," and costs $3,840.

Express described it as having an "unusual print."

Although its print is unusual and does feature drawings, it does not feature images drawn by children who were victims of sexual abuse.
