Grace Kelly's Flower Girl's Dress and Underdress
Image 1 of 21 / 2
For her bridal attendants, Grace Kelly chose designs by Neiman Marcus' young designer Joseph Hong. His design for the dresses of the four flower girls echoed some of the features seen in the dresses of the adult attendants and also incorporated elements fashionable for mid-twentieth-century girls' party dresses, such as very puffed sleeves and full, short skirts. This dress, worn by Grace Kelly's oldest niece, is supported by a yellow organdy underdress with three skirts. Sprigs of machine-embroidered daisies enliven the sheer white organdy fabric, and the daisy theme was continued by the small daisy bouquet and by the halo of daisies, which was substituted for the hat depicted on the flower girls in the original design.
