There's also a description of the dress in the photo Roger posted here:

In August (16-23) 1861, Mary made a trip to Long Branch, where on the 22nd she attended at a grand ball at the Manison House (according to the NY Herald of Aug.23, 1861) "wearing an elegant robe of white grenadine, with a long, flowing train, the bottom of the skirt puffed with quillings of white satin, and the arms and shoulders uncovered, save with an elegant point lace shawl. She wore a necklace and braclets of superb pearls, a pearl fan, and a headdress of wreathed white wild roses." (Wayne Temple in "The M. L. Enigma" states it's certainly the dress in "Roger's photo".)
