- Summary
- Elizabeth Keckley gained her professional reputation in Washington, DC, making expertly fashioned dresses for the city's elite. In March 1861, Mrs. Lincoln chose her from among numerous applicants to be her personal "modiste," responsible for creating the First Lady's beautiful gowns and dressing her for important occasions. In this role, Elizabeth Keckley was quickly drawn into the intimate life of the Lincoln family, a witness to events within the private quarters of the White House. Keckley supported the First Lady through years of war, political strife, and devastating personal losses, even as she endured heartbreaking tragedies of her own
