The hairstyle looks 1940's,  in those times people wore second hand dresses from other era's, so could have been from the time of George V & Queen Mary's time.

Well, yes, the hairstyle is in fact from September 1947, when my mother was married in her great-grandmother's dress.

Thanks Belle and Elizabeth...I'm thinking more Edwardian, now, because the woman it supposedly belonged to lived from 1858 to about 1918 or so. The dress, which was very fine silk under the lace, was in very good condition when I saw it and I think if it was from the 1860s it would not have been wearable in 1947. I'm thinking the "great-grandmother" bit on the back of the photo, which wasn't written in my mother's handwriting, is a mistake.

Need OR to check in!

Cheers,
