My diary North and South, by Sir William Howard Russell, 1863
A small war is waged by the police recently appointed by the Federal authorities against the women, who exhibit much ingenuity in expressing their animosity to the stars and stripes--dressing the children, and even dolls, in the Confederate colors, and wearing the same in ribbons and bows.
The Rebellion Record: edited by Frank Moore, 1863
Newport, Kentucky, June 20.--A daughter of Captain Semmes, commander of the famous rebel pirate Sumter, attended a wedding a Saint Paul's Church, night before last, enveloped in a scarf of rich material, bearing the confederate colors, red and white, arranged in bars or stripes.--Cincinati Commercial, June 20.

Red, white and blue...
The United Service Magazine, Vol. 96, pg 438
A Yankee Army Wedding
Miss Sarah Beesely, one of the daughters of the Rhode Island Regiment, became the wife of Mr. Charles Tibbets, private in the same Corps. The bride was dressed in Bloomer costume, with blue pants, cherry coloured blouse, and white felt hat, with white plume, making up the national colours--red, white, and blue.
Sounds like a cute little outfit.
