I couldn't resist have a play with colouring this beautiful photo. I did 2 versions, the 2nd one I added some texture.
As a side note, just pre-WW2 my mother (and grandmother) were seamstresses and my mother worked in a large cleaners/dry cleaners in London. Fortunately she also wrote down her memoirs and spoke about how dresses like this (well at least along these lines) went through the cleaning production!. Happy to send anybody what she wrote if anybody is interested.
Thank you for sharing this photo Seoras, it was such a pleasure to play with it.
