Thank you Tommy, I will add this to the many versions you kindly sent me of another photo I had up a few weeks ago. I was just looking at the photo again, as I have dressmakers in my lineage, and thinking some poor girl must have worked her fingers to the bone making that.

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.
I have been doing genealogy research for myself & others for many years, just because I love it.

I moved to the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina in 2001 and just recently have got into photo restoration.

I am using an older version of Paintshop Pro XI on an even older pc :) & I want to thank in advance all who are helping me on this journey with my new hobby.

Anybody needing NC, VA research, just ask me!
