Hi gail
Terrible image to work on, hence lack of response ::) ::) ::)
Here is a less than satisfactory cleanup :( :( :(
Mudge
PS Can you rescan just the photo, without the scanner background, and preferably at 600 dpi

Hi poll doll,
 no not easy at all, hence my cheating ;D
You seem to have coped ok with it though.

bit of roaring twenties in the dress style to me, and that era was pretty theatrical.

yes, the socks, don't quite match the dress.

I love the photo and wish I could have done better.
