Mystery woman - please date the dress

Thanks everyone - mid to later 1860s seems to be the consensus. Now I just need to find out where it was taken and hopefully we can work from there.

Hi chewboy,

'Scuse me for being confused, but is this picture of mother and child the same lady? Are you related to Kath perchance?

Sorry to be nosy, but getting it straight stops my brain getting addled!

Hi Rabbit B

Not that I know of 

I merely put it on to show the dress as being much the same

It is so easy to get side tracked, isn't it

Hi Mark,

Thanks for clarifying it. We are supposed to stay on track you see.  It is called going 'off topic' otherwise.

Fashions in the same era are very similar, that is what makes it so interesting.

If you want your picture restored, it is wise to start another thread then everyone will know it is yours, not Kath's.

I didn't ask for any work on it, but it seemed a good idea, so have resized it and posted a new thread.

Hi Kath......  I could not refrain from colouring your delightful photo.

Hi Mark,

It is a lovely picture, so that is the best thing to do. I will look for it. 
 
Hi Carolyn,

What a fantastic job you have done there, I love the colours.

I bet that Kath will be thrilled with that, it goes well with the gorgeous one Irene did.
