Trivia[]
- The different lining prints are to relate to the details in Addy Learns a Lesson, where Momma used different lining prints to line the jacket in the outfit she made.
- The statement on the pin is a real quote from both 1860 campaigns and stated by U.S. Congressman Martin F. Conway on December 5, 1861, and was a running slogan of the Republican Party at the time through the Civil War.
- The outfit (sans jacket) was shown under Addy's Winter Coat until its retirement, when it was replaced with Addy's Tartan Plaid Dress.
