At the Marble Cemetery in the East Village, NY, during a photoshoot for the Merchants House Museum’s spirit photography exhibit. 

The drawn bonnet was made using a selfmade pattern, drawn over millinery wire. The dress is a Martha McCain pattern, with the Simplicity directions thrown out, and sewn instead using period appropriate methods.
