Many local dressmakers served clients beyond Louisville. Mary Cummings Eudy preferred out-out-town business and had sales representatives in many cities. Eudy's most famous patron was Sara Delano Roosevelt, mother of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Ms. Roosevelt ordered several dresses, scarves, and bags from Eudy in 1937 and 1938. She wore one of the dresses to her son's presidential inauguration.
