I am with China on this one.  I am sure some ladies followed QV's lead closely, as many will follow a celeb today.  But do not believe everything you read on the web - I suppose even this site, but we know we are only expressing opinions, some more knowledgeable than others.  Anyone can publish anything on a website.  Just Google "Victorian dress" to get a range of lovely colours!

Of course it could also be someone mourning QV herself, the date is about right.

Looking at them websites with Victorian photo's that are similar dated about 1880 ish so Parameters 1880 -1901
In my opinion the marriage residence is not always the place of birth. Never forget Workhouse and overseers accounts records of birth

Dobfarm, this is not 1880s clothing! This is early Edwardian.

Dear All

I am terribly sorry for missing all the replies - don't know how this happened!

Thank you for all your input - it is a horrible scan of a horribly copied photo.  I will see what I can do at this end :)

Still don't have a name for the lady but still working on it :):):)

Any input or advice gratefully accepted.
