Teal Blue Dress and Cropped Jacket, Ann Lowe

This dress was created by Ann Lowe, a dressmaker, seamstress, and couturier who designed the wedding dress of future first lady Jacqueline Kennedy for her wedding to John F. Kennedy on September 12, 1953. This teal blue silk brocade dress and matching cropped jacket were designed by Lowe in the 1950s and was worn by Florence Colgate Rumbough Trevor, a member of high society. This dress features a V neckline, a fitted bodice, and a small train in the back. This structured silhouette and complex tailoring of this ensemble are evidence of Lowe’s outstanding artistry.
