The sleeves were the give away, but didn't some of the pigeon breasted have wider sleeves but full all the way to wrist  - not got my book handy so from memory.

That's correct but these style of sleeves were looser & less pronounced than the Gigot.

Thank you all for your help with these photos.  Thank you Jim for the photo of the pigeon fronted blouse  .. a most unflattering article of clothing.  :)

Women's clothes were unflattering because they were designed by men.

Poor Polly may have ended up as part of the decoration. Edwardian ladies were fond of putting bits of dead animals on their hats.

Yes , I must admit to having  always felt repulsed by their obsession with using dead animals and the love of taxidermy.
