Anna Jenness Miller (January 28, 1859 – August 1935[citation needed]) was a pioneering American clothing designer and an advocate for dress reform, as well as an author and lecturer.

"[1] She also wanted to educate mass groups of men and women about the importance of hygiene and health to prevent the spread of diseases.

This included women such as Louisa May Alcott, Julia Ward Howe, Susan Paul, Maria Stewart, and Lucy Stone.

[3] Dress reform is defined as wearing and designing clothing that is more practical and more comfortable than fashion during a specific time period.

Dress reformers were trying to eliminate the need for always wearing corsets to opt for more comfortable and more practical daily attire.

Miller also wrote a book, Mother and Babe that included plans, patterns, and ideas for better clothing for babies.

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.
