Jacket has a very military look but has been designed for a woman, and cut to fit over her bustle. Wonder if that was a fashion trend in America, don't think I've seen English clothing that looks like that. Inspired by American civil war?? Ended in 1865.

Just ruminating :)

Agree early-mid 1870's however military styles were very popular in women's fashion & were resurrected at various times up to the 1890's.
It's not often we see women wearing outdoor clothes so it's nice to see this young lady in a very fetching jacket.

Hi China

Have a hunch she might be my 2xGtGMother and the mother of the 2 girls in my '2little Girls' posting (but this has been dated too late for this). Just felt the skin & hair colouring was right.
