*Suit: ''$78'' (later increased to ''$80'')<br />
A satin bow came with the suit and pinned separately to the neck.{{Clr}}<br />
==Trivia==<br />
<br />
*The different lining prints are to relate to the details in ''[[Addy Learns a Lesson]]'', where [[Ruth Walker|Momma]] used different lining prints to line the jacket in the outfit she made.<br />
*The statement on the pin is a real quote from both 1860 campaigns and stated by U.S. Congressman [[wikipedia:Martin F. Conway|Martin F. Conway]] on December 5, 1861, and was a running slogan of the Republican Party at the time through the Civil War.<br />
* The outfit (sans jacket) was shown under [[Addy's Winter Coat]] until its retirement, when it was replaced with Addy's [[Tartan Plaid Dress]].<br />
