RE: Mary Lincoln Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 08-29-2016
Purple ? (Pink if she were I...)
RE: Mary Lincoln Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 08-29-2016
I am sorry, Gene and Eva, but neither of your guesses is correct.
RE: Mary Lincoln Extra Credit Questions - Susan Higginbotham - 08-29-2016
Lavender?
RE: Mary Lincoln Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 08-29-2016
I am sorry, Susan, but it was not lavender.

Mrs. Keckly said it was white, but I've seen a number of sources lately that claim it was purple.

RE: Mary Lincoln Extra Credit Questions - Gene C - 08-29-2016
If it was white, I can kind of guess why. Mary Lincoln is rumored to have said she liked it when Abraham wore this.
Somehow it didn't become much of a fashion trend until the 1950's

That's quite an accomplishment Laurie, since one of the songs (Lavender Blue) is form the 17th century
