Anne Rittenhouse and her team sketched various gowns from Eleanor’s trousseau, all designed by Charles Kurzman. The dominant color of the trousseau was Eleanor’s favorite color, blue, with shades varying from ciel to dark marine to cadet. In Eleanor’s final fitting, she made suggestions about the dresses; Rittenhouse later reported that it was clear that she “had strong ideas about clothes and was anxious that her gowns should represent her individuality.”
