1770 Mercy Otis Warren

This Design might be more suitable for tapestry or Canopy curtains than for a dress, of the width of the design.  A smaller person would drown in the stripes.

Mercy Otis Warren was a published poet, political playwright and satirist during the age of the American Revolution—a time when women were encouraged and expected to keep silent on political matters. Warren not only engaged with the leading figures of the day—such as John, Abigail, and Samuel Adams—but she became an outspoken commentator and historian, as well as the leading female intellectual of the Revolution and early republic.
