Clarice Faithfull Anderson’s Historic Ball Gown

The 1929 CWA Blue & Gold Ball at Sydney's Ambassador Cabaret was a prestigious fundraising event attended by significant dignitaries, including the Governor General. The ball featured "living pictures" and showcased elaborate gowns, including Clarice Faithfull Anderson's historic dress from the 18th century, which later became a treasured family heirloom and is now part of the textile collection of the National Museum of Australia.
