Making Jackie Kennedy's Peach Dress
Who loves 20th century dress history and historical reconstructions? In this video I reconstruct Jacqueline Kennedy's a-line peach dress she wore on a 1962 diplomatic trip to Udaipur, India. Jackie's wardrobe on this trip was meant to reflect the vibrance of India, and her outfits do not disappoint. This dress was constructed using historical materials and methods. For the fabric I chose a peachy, silk shantung and constructed the dress using two historical patterns from the 1960s.

On a quick side note, can we please bring back gloves, pill box hats and matching our shoes with our bags?
Correction: so the fabric was called zibeline, not zimberline which is how I pronounce it in the video. So when I was searching for this particular fabric as Zimberline, nothing came up (lol I don't know how I didn't catch this). However, searching zibeline does result in online sellers offering the fabric, so keep that in mind if you plan on making this dress. I feel like sometimes I read something wrong and then it is forever cemented in my mind until I actively learn otherwise.
