Closely woven cotton fabric with printed warp threads and jagged design of subtle gradations in colour from orange through to red, blue, green to orange again. Second section with contrasting weft colours and regular pale yellow wefts giving a striped effect in shades of orange, pink, green and blue. Thicker cream coloured yarn has been introduced to form a line and zig zag geometric design over the coloured weave. This item was damaged in the fire in GSA's Mackintosh Building on 23rd May 2014. Textile conservation was completed in 2019.
Ivory coloured full length dress in two layers, with a fine gauze silk over silk satin. Braided shoelace straps, fitted bodice and full skirt with decorative flounces. Eighteen covered buttons down back. Some damage through wear and from the metal parts of the buttons. Thought to have been designed and possibly also made by either Daisy or Violet Anderson (see DC 022).
Cream, synthetic velvet full-length dress coat. High neck, fitted bodice with long sleeves gathered on the shoulder and fastened with three double covered buttons at waist level. An open skirt falls in a narrow A line below with simple edge to edge closing on the front and a shaped central back panel to suggest a train. Badly marked by decay of metal sections of the covered buttons. Believed to have been designed and possibly made by either Violet or Daisy Anderson (see DC 022).
Short, collarless box jacket made from panels of loosely woven fabric with pink warp thread and yellow, orange, pale blue and lilac silk organza ribbon weft. Panel sections edged with tightly woven cream threads. A band of silk in graduated colours finnishes the inside hem. Very similar to a fabric sample in the Textile Student Work collection believed to be made by Pauline Mcconnachie.
