A Performance of Royalty

We are so back! And so are weddings. In 1953, Ann Lowe made a wedding dress for Jackie Kennedy’s highly publicized wedding. However, it would be years before Ann Lowe was credited as the creator of the infamous dress. Today we explore how royalty affects bridal trends, why we wear white on our wedding days, and what "back tie optional" even means. To make things even better, today we are joined by ⁠Harling Ross ⁠to hear how the Gumshoe writer approaches wedding guest attire.
