Eliza, c.1860
Turkish costume. From original dress of Miss Eliza Wilson
of Menomonie, WI, as documented in Wisconsin Women in the War. The
dress is light brown, no crinoline, and reaches half way between the knee
and ankle. The upper sleeve is loose and gathered at the wrist.
Pantalettes of same color, wide, but gathered tight around the ankle. This
vivandiere dress is no hinderance to rapid movements; fast walking is a
graceful exercise, while the slow inevitable strut of crinoline appears
awkward to the lady dressed in army costume.
Incl. sizes 6-16.
