Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Wedding Dress - Needleminder
Jackie Kennedy's wedding dress designer, Ann Lowe, was an Ethiopian-American dressmaker to elite East Coast families--like the Rockefellers, Du Ponts, and Roosevelts--for bespoke bridal and debutante gowns.
Legend has it that Lowe took inspiration from a dress made by her mother for Jackie's wedding design. The pristine pleating on the gown’s bodice, intricate scallop pin tucks, and complex rosette embellishments with dainty wax orange blossoms nestled in the center—all meticulously done by hand—are trademarks of Lowe.
