Historical information

A green tunic made for junior legatees to attend girls' classes. It is in great condition and is an excellent example of the uniforms used at Legacy classes.
Throughout the year Melbourne Legacy provided classes for Junior Legatees such as dancing, gymnastics and Eurythmics. Melbourne Legacy would then conduct Annual Demonstrations to showcase their skills.
Legacy provided uniforms free of charge for all girls attending the classes.
Typical of the time the tunic appears hand made but many mothers and legatee wives would have been capable of making uniforms as they also made many of the costumes for the annual demonstrations.
The tunic was donated back to Legacy from the family of Estelle Du Lieu, nee Mutimer.

Significance

A fantastic example of a uniform that was a symbol of membership of Legacy classes.
