Interesting dress, on fine sources, no copyvio obvious. I like the hook, but suggest to drop "Bouvier" - she is better known as Jackie Kennedy - and to link zibeline as in the article. - The image is licensed and serves well as illustration of why this colour. For formality, you still have to add (pictured) to the hook. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:22, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

ALT0a preferred --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:18, 10 November 2024 (UTC)- I believe that the image could be cropped a bit for this purpose, but even if not, she stands out. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:20, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
- Obviously should be cropped. Also, why not:
- Alt1 ... that the apricot dress (pictured) that Jacqueline Kennedy wore on her 1962 tour of India was copied for a Barbie doll costume? Philafrenzy (talk) 12:21, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you... sounds good too. Whispyhistory (talk) 12:46, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
- The pic should not be cropped too much, - still sky and ground and some people looking pale in comparison. In ALlt1, I believe that pictured should come after India, because not only the dress is pictured but that dress worn in India.
- I approve Alt1 as well, but think the original is more focused, and told me something I was happy to learn. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:51, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

Is it just me
editOr did anyone else see the title of this article on the front page and wonder for a minute if the dress was actually made out of apricots? The way the DYK hook is worded could give that impression. Given that I’m way too young to remember Jackie Kennedy, but I do remember Lady Gaga’s meat dress, that’s where my mind went at first.2600:1014:B034:F6FD:8C64:488D:B122:F351 (talk) 18:39, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
