Clara Harris's Bloody Dress

[Linda Anderson]

The Nov. 14th New York Times has an article on the fate of Jacqueline Kennedy's pink suit.

Jacqueline Kennedy’s Smart Pink Suit, Preserved in Memory and Kept Out of View

"But for the half century since John F. Kennedy’s assassination in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963, the most famous artifact from that day, one of the most recognizable articles of clothing ever worn, has been seen by almost no one. Now preserved by the National Archives in a climate-controlled vault outside of Washington, it is subject to Kennedy family restrictions that it not be seen for almost a century more."

"Now preserved in its vault, the pink suit and its accessories, still stained, the stockings blood-powdered and folded in a white towel, remain essentially unchanged from the day of the assassination. Only the outfit’s matching pillbox hat and white kid gloves are missing, lost in the chaos of that day."
