The Wedding Dress
A little hard to imagine that Jackie didn't adore this dress. It flatters her slim figure from every angle, makes her look angelic and ethereal, but apparently, this was not Jackie's 'dream dress'. She once referred to it as a 'lampshade' and claimed it accentuated her 'flat' chest. Jackie's mother Janet had commissioned designer Anne Lowe to make the dress, and considering Jackie's true feelings, you wonder how much say, if any, she had in its design. Most beautiful of all is Jackie's veil, which belonged to her grandmother. Despite her feelings about the dress, Jackie wore it well and contributed yet another iconic piece to her stunning wardrobe legacy.
