Fashions - Trying To Ascertain Year Of Photo

[Princess Poppy]

Not always possible to post the back.  The first one was sent to me by a distant relative whose computer skills aren't great.  I was lucky to get the photo at all!  I have the original of the second photo but I remember it being blank.

Hi

Somewhere, long ago, I found a ref to these bows coming into fashion in about 1915.  Also, the neckline/blouse reminds me of 1915-1920 fashion.

Agree with Gadget.
The neckline/cut away collar was a popular late WW1 style.
So 1917-20 would be my estimate.

Yes, the v-neck wasn't "invented" so to speak until 1913/1914 and due to the war it took a little while to get into production.

The hairstyle with the side part came in just post war.

I have a similar photo of my aunt with the huge bow, which was considered a hat as hats were still part of one's daily outfit. She was born in 1909 and looks about 12 or so in the photo.
