Happy birthday, Edith Piaf. What a wonderful talent, but what a sad life.

This one.
Confederate officers uniform?
Two excellent guesses, Joe and Gene - sorry, it's neither of these.
Lincoln's office coat.
Another brilliant idea, Joe, but not correct either.
It looks like fabric, though. It that correct?
Yes, Roger, that is correct. (Can you determine what kind of?)

Hint #1: As you could see, I will answer yes/no questions.
Curtains from the State Box at Ford's Theatre?
Another one outstanding guess, Roger, but not correct either.
(Please consider "approaching" questions...)

Hint #2: It's not such a large item.

Hint #3: The item indeed "witnessed" the assassination.
Can you say if it some kind of fabric worn by a person at Ford's Theatre?
A Jeannie Gourlay dress?

Basically you can say so - what kind of wearing are you thinking of?

Another good idea, Joe, but, sorry, not correct either.

Hint #4: The item was not entirely made of this fabric.
