<p>This sounded like the novel <em>A Little Princess</em> to me, so I searched to see if there was an anime based on that. Turns out there is one called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess_Sarah">Princess Sarah</a>, and apart from the green dress, it seems to match your description. (The protagonist does wear a green-ish dress in some of the pictures I've seen from the anime while searching for this, but she doesn't in a couple of them.) I am also not sure if the anime series aired at around the right time.</p>

<p>There was this one anime that used to air on Animax quite often when I was a kid. It was this story about a girl who was from a rich family (not too sure about that) who goes through some sort of tragedy and is then forced to work as a maid at an all-girls boarding school with a really strict and unreasonable warden. The girl was fair, she had long, black hair and she almost always used to wear this greenish dress. It was set in Europe somewhere (possibly old England). Drawing style was almost "cartoonish" (very little shading and all). If it helps, some of the anime's that used to air around the same time as this were Astro Boy, InuYasha, ExRider, Saber Marionette, Detective School Q, etc. Any help greatly appreciated. ^__^</p>

This sounded like the novel *A Little Princess* to me, so I searched to see if there was an anime based on that. Turns out there is one called [Princess Sarah](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess_Sarah), and apart from the green dress, it seems to match your description. (The protagonist does wear a green-ish dress in some of the pictures I've seen from the anime while searching for this, but she doesn't in a couple of them.)
