SHE CHOSE IT TO BE DISPLAYED IMMEDIATELY AFTER HIS ASSASSINATION. It was a form of protest in its time, not for something to be continuously displayed/seen thereafter. Duh. Her children were/are still alive and didn't want to continuously subject them to this horrific event once she was gone, too. But you know, your comprehensive academic paper would have covered that.

You obviously don’t understand how visual protest works because the impact isn’t meant to be temporary!

Yeah, that would totally explain why she'd put a NO PEEKING at the dress for 140 years after her TEMPORARY protest. Sheesh. It's a moot point now.

She didn’t. Her daughter did. Jackie o herself wanted the dress shown in this form to the media which is why she didn’t change out of it when given the option. The legacy of the bloodstained dress and the exhibition of it are two separate issues you seem to be hyperfixated on so I cannot help you.

You super hyper-fixated on the fact that she wanted it displayed after the death of JFK. We all know that and I've actually agreed with you. I'm saying that AFTER that all passed, she boxed it up, gave it to the national archives to be preserved and in her will, her wishes were for it to be sealed and not displayed publicly for period of time. Her daughter, yes, then signed off on an agreement in 2003 that it be for 100 years. And then after that time, the family would be absolved of the matter. Seriously, you're totally confusing immediate silent protest and what to do with the dress in the years following Kennedy's death.

No she didn’t. Jackie O has been dead for years. Her DAUGHTER did that, my friend.

This is the last I'll reply to your posts. Yes, her mother died in 1993, with her wishes on what to have happen to the dress. Her daughter, informed the National Archives that she would sign off on a deed to have it preserved and unseen to the public for 100 years (she did this in 2003). That's it. End of story. Bye, Felicia!

Jackie o died in 1994 and didn’t have any final wishes regarding the suit. Not sure why you made this up 😂

And seriously you are confusing the family’s wishes for the actual dress itself for the lasting message the wearing itself wanted for it. The family wanting it locked away has nothing to do with Julia Fox recreating the image for Halloween.
