Dear Abrahamslady,

    On August 28, 2010 my companion and I had the good luck to enter your place. I wanted a Civil War dress ( I have wanted one for 36 years) well I got it! Plus because of the delightful help of your history major I also received a wonderful lesson in history. We spent a wonderful Hour with this young lady. She was fantastic a real asset to your shop. We will be back or maybe order off line as the case maybe.

               Sincerely,
                 Linda Susan and C.W. T.

Greetings!

I was there last week, visiting from Indiana, trying on dresses in your shop. I just wanted to thank you for all the personal service and wealth of information you were able to provide for me. I really enjoyed the shopping experience. I hope to order the shoes soon. Glad you recommended the potato salad at The Dobbyn House (sp). It was exceptional.

Sincerely,

Hello,

I was in the store this past weekend on my first visit to Gettysburg. I wanted to let you know that I am so pleased with my new dress and corset! Your store is wonderful and fun to browse, but your assistance in picking out a dress and finding just the right corset was invaluable to me. I will be telling everyone who asks how wonderful you and your staff are and how they NEED to shop with you for the best service and selection. I hope to see you again next year J

Take care,

Crissie K.

Hi,

Just wanted to let you know that I received my order in today's mail and it is a perfect fit! The attention to detail and the workmanship is superb. I have ordered things online from you in the past and have never been disappointed.

Thank you for all of your advice and helpful staff members. I feel comfortable knowing that my Civil War era reproduction dress will be authentic looking.

Dear Donna;

I just wanted to say how quickly I got my order!! I am so excited that I got my order, I can get working on my corset, and the underpinnings for my daughter. But best of all, I have to tell you that your book is FANTASTIC!! I have been drooling over the pictures and there is so many of them, and clear photographs as well!! Thank you so much for signing it!! A friend of mine had mentioned your book and it is well worth every penny!! It is by far my most favorite book now in my Civil War collection!

Thank you thank you thank you!!

Dear Donna Abraham,

Ever since I was a little girl I have wanted to own a dress like this. When I visited your store last March I was so wanting to buy one. I did not have the money at the time but now that I have gotten my teaching job I could afford it. Now I can use it as a wonderful teaching resource. It is so beautifully and it fits so well. Thank you for helping one of my dreams come true! Thank you,

Katie

Dear Donna,

I received my wonderful new dress today, thank you very much! It fits beautifully--with room to move--looks gorgeous and is perfect in every way! And such fine quality! The craftsmanship and pride is certainly apparent. Please thank your seamstress on my behalf as well. I can't wait to show it off!

When I went to the post office to pick up the package, the assistance postmaster took my card and got "all excited" about your store. He is a history buff, said he'd visited your shop and it was like stepping back in time. He loved it, and couldn't wait to see what I had received from you. That was fun.

I will be ordering more as the season goes on , but not in such a rush. I normally can stay a season ahead and order more casually but thank you again for getting me out of trouble this season.

Kindest Thoughts and Highest Regards,
Debbie

Thank you so so much ! I ordered my fabric on the 8th ( Saturday) and received my fabric order 4 days ago on the 10th (Thursday) much faster then I expected. It's perfect for a nice summer dress, I can't wait to get sewing on it ! I will definitely order from ya'll again.
Thanks again !

Hello Donna,

I was sooooo excited to hear my husband say the package I was expecting had arrived this morning. I actually got it about 20 mintues ago (around 12:00 CST).

I opened it up immediately and was just awestruck at what was inside. The quality of the clothing is next to none... and will be soooo much fun to dress our little "Abraham's Lady" in.

Anyway, my husband, son, and I are very excited to present this to Tiffany when she's home ni about three hours.

I cannot thank you enough for your patience with me in the decisions and I truly appreciate all the communication. This is a fabulous little niche you have filled and I hope it continues.

Thanks; have a very wonderful holiday!

Hi Donna!

Just wanted you to know I got the replacement corset today and it is a PERFECT fit! Thank you so much for all of your assistance and your FABULOUS customer service! I will definitely come visit your tent the next time we are at the same event!! And I can guarantee I will be a repeat customer! Your quick responses to all my questions and concerns were very much appreciated! I will recommend you to my friends!

Thanks again, have a great reenacting season!

Dear Donna,

The package arrived promptly at twelve noon Wednesday. Thank-you for going to the trouble of bringing it to the post office personally. The blouse (which fit perfectly), the sontag, fancy collar and hand covers were all just what I had hoped they would be.

1 spoke before a group of approximately three hundred people. I only wish you could have been there to hear the compliments given to me for both my presentation and the authenticity of my nineteeth century outfit. I was asked where I bought my nineteeth century clothes and I proudly told them all Abraham’s Lady, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.

I thank-you once again for your professionalism and caring. I look forward to meeting you in person.

Sincerely, Donna

Hi again!!

Oh my goodness....I was not expecting my dress to get here so quickly but it came already today (Monday) and I am just pleased as punch! It fits just great, no worries there at all....I love it and hope to wear it a lot during this reenacting season. I have left feedback on Ebay and I hope that your Ebay experience will improve and the bidding will go better for you. I love seeing your stuff out there. Some of the Civil war “period correct” things on Ebay are just awful, not correct in any way, shape or form....so it’s nice to see things that are appropriate and well made.

Thanks so much....we’ll be in touch, I am sure.

Hugs to you, Jackie

Donna,

Your gown is beautiful Thank you for making this event possible for me. It was a once in a life time opportunity. I’ll stop in next May when I bring my students to Gettysburg.
