RE: Mary Lincoln's Fashions
As for the low necklines, Elizabeth Keckley repeats a comment she heard the president make. He wasn't that thrilled with them. I'll try to find the quote from her book when I get home, unless someone wants to beat me to it.

Can't say I care for her hair styles. In may have been the popular style back then, but IMO I don't think it's flatering to her.

Here is an interesting photo from the Lincoln Museum. (I didn't take it)

The one in the back right was gorgeous.

So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in?
