Wilkinson lady with veil, South Africa.
« on: Tuesday 15 October 19 13:27 BST (UK) »
We found this portrait in our family loft.

We cannot determine who she is. None of the eldest family members know her.
If I can determine from which era or 'Nationality' the person is, it might help.

She looks like she could be a 1920s bride.

Thanks so much. Very interesting, indeed. We were trying to guess the dress. However wedding attire did not come up.   :D

Agree with Carol & I would suggest early-mid decade as this is when this style of veil was popular.

Thanks. Was it worn in specific parts of the world and/or by specific people groups?

Pretty much everyone followed the latest European fashions.
Fashion periodicals travelled the globe.
