:lol: no harm no foul. I, like you, thought the CW preceded it as well. It was while researching motifs and designs to use that I realized the CW took place during that time frame (1837-1901) and the well to-do population of the US (both north and south) was heavily influenced by the decorative and fashion trends of that time.
