Bed doll circa 1950s. Decorating your bed & toilet tank with a doll was popular. The doll’s skirt hid toilet paper. Her dress is like an Ann Lowe dress. She’s missing an earring, has a dead fly stuck under the tulle. I will gently clean her & remove the insect. 🪰⚰️ #annlowe#africanamericandolls

Thank you American Decorative Arts Forum for the wonderful lecture this afternoon about Ann Lowe, American Couturier. I was lucky to see the dresses at Winterthur, the day before the exhibition closed. @adafnorcal @winterthurmuse @legionofhonor #annlowe

The other reason for Delaware, the Ann Lowe exhibit at Winterthur. Most known for Jacqueline Kennedy’s wedding dress. It’s a replica because the original is too fragile to show. Glad I took photos; any merchandise related to the exhibit already sold out… @winterthurmuse #annlowe#jacquelinekennedy
