[Vwoolf] Lady Anne Clifford

[ANNE Fernald [Staff/Faculty [A&S]]]

I also suspect that she--or a dress she records herself as wearing--is a
source for Clarissa's mermaid-y dress in *Mrs. Dalloway.*  In her sparse
notes on *The Diary of Lady Anne Clifford,* which Woolf calls ‘a v. silly
book, mostly about dress & parties,’ Woolf notes what Lady Anne Clifford's
description of ‘my sea water green satin gown & my damask embroidered with
gold’ (*Berg RN19* 5).
