Your request seems to have dropped w-a-a-y down the board, Bullocks. Hopefully this bump up will get you some attention. (I'm not much good at colourising but others who are should be along in a while.)

Your g-grandmother is Obviously Wearing national costume, and I bet it is really colourful.

How about giving the colourists some ideas of the colours of her costume if you know them?     ;) ;)

Added:       Looks as if the costume might come from part of Romania . . . Correct?

She was from the Northern part of bukovina which is present day Ukraine.  You guys could probably google "bukovina outfit"...

Here's my offerings. Hope you enjoy!

Cleaned up the speckling in the original black and white image then added color.

Been googling costumes for the Bukovina area of Ukraine - what wonderfully colourful costrumes they wear - and what a lot of beads and jewellery and things around their necks.  Brilliant.    8) 8)


Great take on it Pat.  ;)
