Formal length dress (a) and jacket (b) made by Helen Park Anderson. Mrs. Anderson hand crafted many dresses for her college-aged daughters, Evelyn Anderson and Annabelle Anderson.

(a) Dress is a pale turquoise lace sleeveless sheath-style overdress with a draped neckline, and pieced in a vertical zig-zag pattern over the hips. The lace dress is lined with a floor-length rose colored satin sheath stitched at the neckline of the lace overdress. There is a snap closure under left arm. (b) Jacket is a waist-length collarless jacket made of the same lace as the matching dress. It has puffed, elbow-length sleeves, and two pointed tails at the bottom of the front closure. There are no buttons or snaps on the jacket. |
