The Silly Sisters
"The sisters' re-creations are right on the money," says Sally Queen of Alexandria, an authority on 18th century clothing through her work with Colonial Williamsburg, Mount Vernon and the Smithsonian's American History Collection. "Mrs. Cowan's and Mrs. Runyon's work exceeds the standards demanded at even the most discerning living-history museums," Mrs. Queen says. "They have taken all they know about the 18th century and are putting it into practice to create the most authentic costumes available." The Washington Times September 8, 1999
