RE: Mary Lincoln's Fashions
Most men's clothing, i.e. suits - vest, frock coat and trousers, were tayored; an entirely different form of sewing. Accessories such as shirts, socks, handkerchiefs, as well as some suspenders (usually needlepoint) were made by women at home although they could be also purchased.
