Jacqueline Kennedy’s bloodstained pink suit, preserved but not on view --- On Dec. 6, 1963, two weeks after the assassination, Jacqueline Kennedy and her children moved out of the White House. Although still in mourning, she was careful about what needed to be preserved from Nov. 22. -- Her bloodstained pink suit, which many thought was Chanel but came from Chez Ninon, was placed in a box that was marked “worn by Jackie 11-22-63.” It was not cleaned. -- The suit was sent to the National Archives with instructions not to display it for 100 years. - Washingtonpost
