Description: Extremely rare headpiece by Priscilla of Boston. Has been in storage for many years and still has a tag--although not sure if it is the original tag. Unknown if it has ever been worn. Because of extended storage you may need to clean it. Priscilla of Boston was a small "high-end" bridal chain which was in business from 1948-around 2007 when they were acquired by David's Bridals. POB famously made the bridesmaids dresses in the extravagant Grace Kelly wedding to the Prince of Monaco in 1956. Here is some more history: Anticipating a surge in marriages after the war, Mrs. Priscilla Kidder opened a bridal boutique in 1948 on Newbury Street in Boston. The Bride's Shop, as she called it, was an immediate success, with sales of more than $10,000 in its first week.Mrs. Kidder's success put her increasingly in contact with the wealthy. Through a friend, Stanley Marcus of Neiman-Marcus, she obtained a storybook assignment in 1956, designing bridesmaids' gowns for Grace Kelly's wedding to Prince Rainier of Monaco.The stunning news coverage of the wedding added to Mrs. Kidder's celebrity. She dressed Rockefellers, Fords and Paleys and designed wedding dresses for Lyndon B. Johnson's daughter Luci Baines Johnson, as well as Richard M. Nixon's daughters, Tricia and Julie.
