Excerpt:

"...crochet thread, No. 70."

Stitches used:

"...chain stitch...double crochet...single crochet...long stitch...double long stitch...treble long stitch..."

Personally, I would up this a notch by using a very nice silk thread in white or contrasting color to the dress or dresses this would be worn with. Furthermore, adding some beads or crystals to the work (as the more well-to-do ladies of the day did) would really make it unique and eye catching. How your friends will envy your authentic Civil War garb accessories!
