I was browsing around etsy tonight when I stumbled across a seller that instantly caught my eye.

She was selling a "Custom Civil War" dress... but the image was of the picture from a Simplicity pattern.  I couple more popped up, different Simplicity patterns, all 'available in color of your choice' and claimed as custom.

This one, however, made me angry.

It's koshka_the_cat's 1862 mourning-for-Prince-Albert ballgown.  It's a picture of her, with her head cut off, and is labeled as "Civil War Ball Gown Satin Victorian Dress Gown Custom Made" I thought of firing off an email to the seller right away, but it's really late and I'm sure I wouldn't say the right thing.

I just thought Katherine ought to know.  There are pictures of other people's dresses too, but I unfortunately don't recognize them.

Also amplified bandwidth elsewhere so this seller learns that this sort of behavior is a Bad, Bad Idea.

And I do appreciate that!
