RE: Mary Lincoln's Fashions
Nice aside:
http://barbarabrackman.blogspot.de/2012/...y.html?m=1 AFAIK, Abraham Lincoln's suits had always been tailor made whereas in the Springfield years Mary sew her dresses and the children's clothes. Why not her husbands, too, at least in the early days of meager finances? Was it more difficult to sew suits, or was it simply a matter of that the clothing of the "head of the family" and breadwinner was not to be homemade? |
