Louise Aurora Getsinger (née Moore) (1871-1916) known as Lua Getsinger was one of the first Western converts to the Bahá'í faith, converting in 1897. She was also a prominent disciple of `Abdu'l-Bahá.
Since her youth she had tended to a colorful mode of dress and avoiding fashions of the day. When `Abdu'l-Bahá asked her to travel in the East for him he asked her to dress in a less conspicuous fashion. She then designed a form of dress with a royal dark blue of inset panels of different fabric with silk trimmings. Her clothing generally appears dark in period photos, however in actuality her clothing was not dour but a contrast of colors against her caucasion skin. `Abdu'l-Bahá discouraged other women from emulating her style.[1]
