Interesting details on Rose Marie Reid

Post by Lemarque »

The website mormonsandjews.org has a blurb about Rose Marie Reid that I thought had some interesting details. All I knew about her was that she was a swimsuit designer that refused to design swimsuits she considered immodest.

There's no sources given at the site, but here's some of the stuff I found interesting:

She did a lot of proselyting among Jewish people, and was an official set-apart missionary for two decades.

She donated a 'significant sum' of money to the construction of the LA temple by designing and selling a sequined bathing suit.

She redesigned the temple garment at the request of President McKay.

Her children lived for a few years in another country while she worked around the clock to start her business.

She was named designer of the year by Sports Illustrated.


All in all, sounds like she had an interesting life.
