Hi Iria, 1860s and likely late.

It looks like this girl hasn't begun "figure training" yet, when they got stuffed into corsets which were drawn tighter and tighter. Usually began around 11 or 12 years of age :P

Cheers,
China

Hi i am no expert and don't know if this helps AT ALL, but i found this when i was searching wikipedia a few days ago:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victorian_fashion

I know wikipedia isn't exactly reliable but there's a picture of the correct lengths for girls skirts at different ages, didn't know if it might be useful?

Leanne.

On the contrary, I know all about neglecting housework.

It's not often that you're right, Jim...and you're wrong again.....
