Love this! 💚
Her father was the plantation owner.
She made clothes for 82 people: 12 members of the Burwell family and the 70 people they enslaved.
She married but her husband was sent to another state.
She never saw him again.
A famous dress she created for Mary Todd Lincoln is kept at the Smithsonian Museum.
