I was no fan of the Kennedys, and having grown up with people who worked as DC insiders, I heard plenty of gossip about Jackie during my teens that gave me the creeps. Consequently, I never admired even little pieces of her and her elitist pretentions. So today is the first day in all these years that I've taken a good look at her wedding dress.
Wow. It is gorgeous. It is classic. It could be worn today without looking the least bit dated. Thanks for posting the picture.
I feel so sorry for the way its creator was treated. There was a black dressmaker to Mrs. Lincoln who has been biographed, and Jackie's should be. If Jackie did pay her bills, it was more than owed.

Jackie always kind of came off as a ditz to me.

Not so much anymore but it used to be that you could tell that a Presidential election was coming up. Suddenly there would be movies and documentaries on John F Kennedy, Jacqueline Kennedy, Lee Harvey Oswald, and/or the Kennedy Clan. Basically calling the faithful back to the voting tribe central committee.

That should be a new FR rule. Anytime a former FLOTUS article is posted (like Big Mike) a picture of Melania. That works for me.
