This Callot Soeurs design is one of six in this sale that is from the Palmer family. Five of the Callot Soeurs in this sale were worn by Pauline Kohlsaat Palmer (1882-1956) who was a known client of the House of Callot Soeurs. The child’s dress in this sale by Callot Soeurs was worn by one of Pauline Palmer’s daughters.  

The antique lace on this dress is near identical to the antique lace on Pauline Palmer's daughter's wedding dress in Lot 84. 

Pauline Kohlsaat Palmer (Mrs. Potter Palmer II) was born and raised in Chicago, the daughter of a newspaper editor, and a leader in Illinois Republican politics. She married Potter Palmer II, the son of one of the leading families in Chicago, director of the First National Bank and president of the Art statutete of Chicago. When he died in 1943, he left Pauline an estimated 4.5 million dollars. She donated many couture garments, including additional Callot Soeurs and Vionnet, to the Chicago History Museum.
