{{Orphan|date=October 2018}}Anna "Annie" Jenness Miller (January 28, 1859-?) was a pioneering clothing designer, as well as an advocate for dress reform.[1][2][3][4][5]

Ancestry

Miller was descended from the family of Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr, and Wendell Phillips.[5]

Early life

Annie Jenness Miller was born on January 28, 1859 in the White Mountains to parents Solomon Jenness and Susan Wendell Jenness. She was educated in Boston, and married Conrad Miller in 1887.[2]

Dress reform

Jenness Miller promoted dress improvement and dress reform.[1]

{{Quote|text=Novelty, exaggeration and display have been the ends sought. The body has been cramped and distorted, its requirements for health and comfort disregarded according to the caprice of fashion’s arbiters. The fundamental laws of beauty have been violated, and the human form robbed of its expression to what end? Who can answer? One might offer defense of the dress of today, but he would be compelled to reverse his decision tomorrow, for what obtains today may be regarded by the fashionable world tomorrow as “perfectly hideous," as women are often heard to say of fashion plates that are out of date...When art in dress becomes recognized, every walk in life and every occasion will have its appropriate dress, and every class of society 'will be the gainer. Under the regime of art in dress no woman will be seen picking her way along filthy streets in a dress-skirt bedraggled with mud, nor will women wear gems and rich fabrics at church, cloth tailor-made gowns in the reception room and high hats loaded with bustling and aggressive trimmings at the theater. We shall not be served by kitchen girls arrayed in tawdry finery; shop girls in cheap jewelry and cotton lace, nor denied ourselves the privilege of proper selection in dress for time and place in any profession. In short, with the study of principles order will evolve from chaos, and each department of work will have its recognized dress, appropriate in detail, self-respecting, because the right thing for our immediate needs, and beautiful because appropriate.|sign=Annie Jenness Miller|source=}}

Miller went on speaking tours around the country promoting her ideas. To further spread her ideas, she published Dress, the Jenness Miller Magazine.[1]

Later years, death, and legacy

At the end of the decade of the 1910s, Miller was living in Washington, DC, where she had substantial real estate holdings.[6]

Her precise date of death, sometime after December 1919, remains to be discovered.
