Victorian Tea Lady of Providence

As the Victorian Tea lady of Providence, my mission is to keep history alive and the dyeing art of "taking of tea" to socialize. It is the keeping of this old traditions and cultures that will preserve our civilization. In order to keep this tradition alive, we must teach it to our children. I find this is a must.

Mary Lincoln's Dressmaker

the story of Lizzy, The first Lady's dressmaker.

Mary Todd Lincoln's Dress

Mary Lincoln’s purple velvet skirt and daytime bodice are believed to have been made by African American dressmaker Elizabeth Keckly. The first lady wore the gown during the Washington winter social season in 1861–62. Both pieces are piped with white satin, and the bodice is trimmed with mother-of pearl buttons. An evening bodice was included with the ensemble. The lace collar is of the period, but not original to the dress.
