Home of the Iconic Cherry Dress™
The Classic Cherry Dress™ was introduced in 1954 and is sold exclusively by The Woman’s Exchange of St. Louis. This iconic, handmade dress has been cherished by generations of families and worn by notable names including Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jenna Bush, and St. Louis native Andy Cohen. Trademarked in 2016, the Cherry Dress™ has also been featured in The New York Times Style section and at the Missouri History Museum.
