Well...your guess would be as good as mine on that, but I would say they are related somehow. Very similar faces.

Those skirts are handmade, or at least the girl's. The hem is a bit uneven, and hasn't been pressed :)

It's a really fascinating photo...Ii keep noticing more little things in it.

Cheers,

Oh, and Mary Jane shoes, they became popular around 1910 or so :)

Wedding? Has the lady on the left just taken off her lace veil?

I don't see a wedding ring on the one with the lace / veil draped on the back of the chair. ???

You're right!  No wedding ring!

What about that little detail, China?  ::)

Perhaps she was a bridesmaid set to look after the veil (or perhaps they'd been washing the nets and stopped for a pause in the sun?  ::))

What, IS, are you accusing me of not noticing??

Well, I didn't ;D

Maybe she just sat down on it. And I bet the bride had a fit when she saw ;D

No criticism intended, China, but you did say you kept noticing little things in the photo.

I'm just as bad, because I didn't notice the lace until you pointed it out and then I STILL didn't look at the lady's ring finger.  Doh   :-[

Are we writing off the wedding idea?

What other occasions would flowers be worn?

It's a shame we can't spot these two in the other photo, to confirm they're taken on the same day!
