RE: Christmas with the Lincoln family in Springfield
Sure the muslin was for a dress. I would second your assumption Mary prepared herself for the White House because she was looking forward to her new role. In January she went to NYC to order a new wardrobe. What I just wonder - would she have sewn the dress herself? I know she sew the childrens' clothes, but about her own ones I'm not sure. If I remember correctly she sew hoops into her dresses and similar when she was a teenager, but entire dresses?
