Particularly in the later 19th century, fashions lasted for several years at a time. I personally would date the picture to the 1890s based on the sleeves and the hair style. <br /><br />I think the collar is called a jabot, and is probably handmade lace, maybe tatted, bobbin lace, or crochet. Without a more clear image it's hard to tell. My great great uncle used to tatt collars and I have one that is gorgeous. Looks nothing like this one though.<br /><br />I found your site through Old Photo - thanks for posting your link!<br /><br />http://pastperiodspress.comNorkiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14017387181655123770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320880361203053560.post-69675460969840152462009-10-28T23:31:13.940-05:002009-10-28T23:31:13.940-05:00I Think her collar thingy is tatted..what do you t...I Think her collar thingy is tatted..what do you think? <br />Fischu..just does not seem to fit this photo from the photos I saw of them on the net..they seem more shawl like:)Far Side of Fiftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995757632158408442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320880361203053560.post-6268989327964532782009-10-28T23:29:14.075-05:002009-10-28T23:29:14.075-05:00Thanks Abra!

Although I don't have a clue who she is, something about her reminds me of old photos of someone in my family. It is remarkable how similar they appear and it is sort of spooky. I guess in reality we are all closer than we realize.Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04858158707328118375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320880361203053560.post-43328901335801729132009-10-27T01:31:14.642-05:002009-10-27T01:31:14.642-05:00FICHU!
