Ann Lowe spent nearly forty years dressing America's oldest, richest families, the Auchinclosses, the du Ponts, the Rockefellers, including designing Jacqueline Bouvier's 1953 wedding dress to John F. Kennedy, one of the most reproduced wedding gowns in American history. She built her career under segregation, survived a flood that destroyed the wedding dress ten days before the ceremony, and was never publicly credited for it at the time: Jacqueline Kennedy herself once described her only as "a colored woman dressmaker." This episode covers Lowe's start in Clayton, Alabama, her training in a segregated New York classroom, an uncredited Oscar-winning gown for Olivia de Havilland, the business collapse that followed her son's death, and the recognition that only arrived decades after her own death in 1981.

Extra research notes, including a much longer look at Janet Lee Bouvier Auchincloss, are up on Substack: thefashionmemoir1.substack.com. This episode is also on YouTube, The Fashion Memoir | Podcast, if you'd rather follow along with the images.
