New dress for Mary Todd
This is the new dress I just finished for Mary Todd Lincoln. The other one I had started for her just didn't seem "grand" enough for the First Lady, so I tried to reproduce the gorgeous royal purple velvet gown with white satin piping in the seams that is on display at the Smithsonian. It was a lot of work, but I am very happy with how it turned out! Antique black lace and cream netting are used on
