Photograph was edited for publication purposes Photograph caption dated July 25, 1963 reads, "Fashion model Pat Howard wears Lea D'Crenza's year-round floating white chiffon dancing dress. Skirt fullness falls from the front and back leaving a smooth hipline. The beaded over bodice is paved in crystal beading and Oriaborialis fringe which edges the front slot at the neckline. Although the California house of D'Crenza is only three year old the brothers, Lea and Sebastian, have already established a notable fashion following among the best dressed women of the country - including Jackie Kennedy, who has several D'Crenza originals in her wardrobe."
