Date for photo, please - Elizabeth Jane Stewart b.1886

Can anyone suggest a date for this photo from the fashion?

This is my great-grandmother Elizabeth Jane Duncan nee Stewart, born 1886 in Australia.

A Google search hasn't found any other photos with a similar wide, flat collar and suit like this one. I assume it's before WW1?

Thanks in advance

My bet is on a 30th birthday photo

The date is in the size of the collar. These large collars are more associated with the few years following the war.

Born in 1886, she would be 32 when WW1 ended. The lady could be in her 30's but has worn well, I would say.
