Victorian Day Dress, reposted, clean up if poss.
« on: Monday 11 February 08 14:08 GMT (UK) »
Hi Rachel 2.... here is the dress you mention which I posted on a previous site and i think it got lost.

Quite an early pic I think, this lady has her hair covering her ears.


Would be great to see one of your colourings if you have time.

Thank you  for reposting Brenda, you do have a lovely collection of photos... 

we do request one photo per thread otherwise they get missed.  I missed most of your other ones on the other thread and I didn't even see this one.  :(

Thanks Jenny..I think that this is the mother of the first lady I posted..the one sitting down in the ball gown, she looks to have a similar receding chin.

These were all in my Great Grandmothers album, just a matter of identifying who they are, trying to tie fashion in with the family history dates I have.

A black/white one from me for starters  ;D

Delighted to see her on a thread of her own .... do you think it's a string/crochet bag she's holding ?

Hi Rachel, I asked this on the other posting, someone suggested it could be a fan.

Any more ideas out there!!!

Looks like a savoy cabbage leaf!! ;D

No seriously, could some of it be a mark on the photo, as it seems to have some black spots, whereas the original is sepia.
