Do You Know Ann Lowe?

Ann Lowe
Designer

I recently received an email reminding me of this great woman.

"Being that this is black history month I thought you would enjoy this and know the legacy that you are carrying on when I think about it there are not that many African American wedding dress designers that I know about but after seeing this it just made me proud"

Did you know this woman designed one of the most famous wedding dresses in American?

Jacqueline Bouvier just married to John F. Kennedy

Ann Lowe designed and made Miss Bouvier's dress for the wedding of the century. In addition to the wedding gown she made all of the bridesmaids dresses too. What's even more amazing is that 10 days before the wedding a flood ruined all the dresses and Miss Lowe recreated every single dress in time for the big day.
