dating please

[chelle 5]

I know I have put this up a few years ago for restoration and a wonderful job was done by all...thank you,however I am not convinced it is who the family seem to think it is due to ages and dates, please could someone give me a rough idea of the date this may have been taken and if you are feeling clever a rough idea of the age of the young lady many thanks

Well...mid-late 1920s I would think, before the hemline dropped again in 1929. Would that solve anything?

Cheers,

yes thanks China  it does I thought it was someone born 1891 or her sister born 1896 my cousin who owns the photo has it down as someone born 1862 .I told him dresses were long and hairs was up until the 20`s. Thank you helps me identify that it is possible the younger sister
regards Michelle

Absolutely not someone born in 1862, anyway

Cheers,

Is that a wrist watch she is wearing?  If I remember correctly wrist watches became popular from the 1920's which fits with China's dating.

do you know hadn`t noticed the watch Jool, thank you i`m hoping it`s my great grandmother but I feel it`s more likely to be her younger sister

Looks very much like something from 1925-1926, just similar to some old pictures we have.
