The wedding dress of Jacqueline Bouvier was worn by Jacqueline Bouvier (later Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis) in her wedding to John F. Kennedy on 12 September 1953. The dress is cited as iconic and one of the best-remembered bridal gowns of all time. The bouffant wedding gown was the creation of Ann Lowe made from of ivory silk taffeta. The veil, made of lace, however, was the one worn by her grandmother in her wedding. Ann Lowe, who made the gown and also held the trail (so that it did not get trodden), was not given due credit by name. When Jacqueline was asked a question as to who made the gown, she replied that it was made by a "colored woman." ==Design== The wedding dress was designed and made by African-American dressmaker Ann Lowe, a couturier famous for many rich and famous people. The neckline was described as the portrait type and the skirt was a bouffant style. Mini wax flowers decorated the skirt. The lace veil she wore belonged to her grandmother. A tiara made of lace, decorated with orange blossoms in the traditional form, was used to tie the veil to her hair. White and pink gardenias and orchids were arranged in the bouquet that Jacqueline carried with the dress. The jewelry, which complemented the wedding dress, were very few but what she wore were of significance; these were the single strand of pearls that belonged to the family heirloom, a diamond leaf pin gifted by her parents, and a diamond bracelet, a present given to her prior to the wedding day by John Kennedy. The matron of honor was Lee Bouvier Canfield, her sister, and Nina Auchincloss acted as her maid of honour and flower girl. There were ten brides maids, apart from attendants. The brides maids were dressed in pink silk faille with Tudor caps. The wedding gown of ivory silk taffeta, a huge round skirt was made out of of ivory silk taffeta. Interwoven tucking bands and tiny wax flowers were part of the full bouffant skirt. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wedding dress of Jacqueline Bouvier」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
