One man’s trash may be another man’s treasure — but sometimes that treasure turns out to be a gown designed by none other than Jacqueline Kennedy’s personal dressmaker.
Kansas Michalke, a content creator and mom of two in Austin, Texas, said she always had a knack for finding hidden gems while thrifting.
“[My family] was not well off in any capacity,” she told Fox News Digital. “My mom was a single mom, my dad was a single dad, and we would do garage sales … and this was something I grew up with.”
“We never really cared about designers or brand names or anything like that,” she said.
“We were just simple little country people who [would] go straight to the clearance section or thrift shops. It wasn’t anything that I was ever ashamed of. And I always liked having things that were different.”
Michalke was nearing the end of her shopping excursion when she came across a bright, shiny evening gown.
“I did my last lap and I saw the twinkle of the dress and I thought, ‘Oh my gosh, this will be so fun to play dress up with,’ and I just tossed it in the cart,” Michalke recalled.
