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) http://rememberingletters.files.wordpres...s-gown.jpg The one in the back right was gorgeous. So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in? |
