The September 1953 wedding of Jacqueline Lee Bouvier to Senator John Fitzgerald Kennedy was a huge to-do.

Left unidentified was the designer of that dress—and another 15 ensembles for the bridal party: Ann Lowe, who was nonetheless well-known within that rarefied milieu. “I’m an awful snob,” Lowe (circa 1898–1981) told Ebony magazine in 1966. “I do not cater to Mary and Sue. I sew for the families of the Social Register.”
