Can not work out from this image if it is a large kick up at the shoulder on the bodice or the start of Gigot sleeving, either way I would suggest a date period of somewhere between 1890 and 1895. She also appears, from what I can see, to have a band on her ring finger and as both seem to have flowers pinned to their clothing could this be a photograph showing a newly married couple?
The photographer's, Ward's, had been trading from various premises in the Brixton Road Lambeth from at least 1879 when Alfred Thomas Ward took over from Henry Ward. Also known as Ward and Co. as well as Ward's, the company was to trade from the Brixton Road until at least 1906. Ward's were also trading in Battersea between 1891 and 1906 and in Chelsea from 1890 til 1907.
