Mourning prints are part of Victorian fashion in the post Civil War Era. When a woman became widowed, fashion dictated that she wear all black, without ornament and a crepe weeping veil for a year and a day. Beyond the first year, tradition stated that the widow should wear half morning for a period of at least 6 months. This was called Mourning Grays, or sometimes called Shaker Grays. The fabrics were finely printed black on a white ground that appeared to be gray. Gradually colors were added, starting with somber colors such as deep purple, burgundy, and brown.
