JACKIE KENNEDY WEDDING DRESSMAKER ANN LOWE | Sewing & Design

Some of the most iconic fashion moments in history were crafted by women whose names the world almost forgot. One of them is Ann Lowe.

Born in Alabama in 1898, Ann came from a long line of dressmakers. With incredible talent and vision, she moved to New York and began designing for society’s elite. Her gowns were often breathtaking—detailed, elegant, and crafted with a precision that set her apart.

Her most famous design? Jacqueline Bouvier’s wedding dress in 1953, when she married John F. Kennedy. The gown became a cultural symbol, but Ann’s name was hidden in the shadows. For decades, she received little recognition, even as her work graced the most powerful women in America.

Despite financial struggles and barriers placed before her, Ann Lowe persisted. She opened her own salon, trained apprentices, and left behind a legacy of beauty and resilience.

At House of Lady J, I honor Ann Lowe as more than a “hidden designer”—she is a trailblazer whose story deserves the spotlight. Watch my full video below to learn more about Ann Lowe’s artistry, her struggles, and why her influence still inspires today.
