Lloyd Chapman: GSA Scandal Is a Window to the Way Washington Really Works (Huffington Post)

Maybe it was the fact that the administrator was forced to resign and two
employees were fired. Truth be told, a lot of administration heads should
probably resign. These abuses are not unique to the Obama administration;
they've gone on for decades.

I need a realistic Young Martha Washington costume for history speech at school?

Okay I'm doing a history speech and I'm Martha Washington, but I need a costume of her. NO COSTUMES WITH WHITE HAIR WIGS! I want a costume as her like when she was young. And remember the dress needs to be kind of realistic at the least.

The Mount Vernon Association recently had an artist do a portrait of her using the latest in computer-simulation age-regression, as is used by law enforcement agencies when trying to identify missing persons. They were using the many portraits of the mature Martha to recreate what a young Martha might really have looked like.
Here is the portrait:

It is the current "best guess" as to what Martha Dandridge Custis Washungton looked like at the time of her marriage to George.

She'd be wearing (in order, from the skin out)
Shift
Stays
Underpetticoat
Pockets
Pocket hoops (maybe)
Shoes & Stockings
Outerpetticoat
Gown, a sacque or a "nightgown"
Stomacher (filling in the front of the gown)
Neckhandkerchief
Cap or hair ornament

Here's a visual, if you need one, of the clothing on a real person:
