EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning teal blue dress and cropped jacket designed by the talented Ann Lowe in the 1950s. Ann Cole Lowe, an African American fashion designer, made history as the first of her kind to gain recognition in the industry. The dress (. 1) is crafted from luxurious teal blue silk satin adorned with a mesmerizing brocaded medium-scale floral pattern. Delicate flowers in shades of pink, blue, copper, and green scatter across the fabric's surface, exuding elegance and charm. The strapless bodice features a daring plunging V at the back while a self-fabric band accentuates the natural waistline. This band gracefully extends down each side of the skirt until it reaches its hemline.

Adding an extra touch of sophistication are pre-tied bows sewn onto both sides of the skirt atop the self-fabric band - three on each side. Worn by Florance Colgate Rumbough Trevor, this ensemble truly embodies timeless beauty and grace. Displayed within National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), this piece represents not only Ann Lowe's remarkable talent but also celebrates African American heritage within America's rich cultural tapestry.
