Hand written note by Audrey Claesson: This dress belonged to Audrey Claesson's mother-in-law, Esther Heintz Claesson. It was not her wedding dress nor graduation dress as I [Audrey] have pictures of those. I don't know anything else about it. It's been packed away for years and found its way to me this summer.
