A New Dress!

I never really paid much attention to James Madison before, and I gave even less attention to his wife, Dolley. I should have though, because ignoring them for this long meant overlooking Jefferson's close friends, and an entirely different era of fashion. An era of fashion that I am currently enamored with, and absolutely need to sew, I might add. I saw Dolley Madison at Montpelier today, and I loved her dress. I also loved the dresses that I saw on display there, and I just knew that I had to make one. So, I think that when I get home, after I finish my corset, I will start on a turn of the century Dolley Madison dress! I can't wait! :)
