The Los Angeles-based auction house Nate D. Sanders said the
cream-patterned dress was worn by Jacqueline Kennedy in 1960
when she was pregnant with her son John F. Kennedy Jr. She later
gave it to White House nanny Maud Shaw during a visit to London
after the nanny retired.
Among the photographs, reportedly taken by Shaw, are pictures of
a young John F. Kennedy Jr. and his sister Caroline at the beach
and playing with other children.
"These photos really do show the private moments of the Kennedys.
Most of the photos that we see are very out in public where it's
not necessarily posed but it's certainly on display," Laura
Kirk, of Nate D. Sanders, said.
"These photos show a completely different side of the family
where it was just amongst them and just being relaxed and fun
and carefree and I think that really does come through in the
photos."
Bidding for the dress and pictures, sold in one lot, starts at
$10,000.
