This piece was given to Robert by Mimi to sell, as one of his early pieces. First sold as a Civil War dress with hoop. During a two or three-year period, Mimi died, and the people who had purchased it originally now wanted to sell it because they were moving. Some friends told Robert about it, and he re-purchased it for sentimental reasons. This dress is a simple cotton or linen batiste, and features lace design accents at the front bodice yoke, waist and sleeve cuffs. Circa 1806-1900.
