A photograph of two young ladies in fine evening dress. Both are attired in childrenswear - bodices are loosely gathered rather than designed with tailored panels. Short sleeves are puffed with gathers. Straight infant waist, with very full skirts, reaching below the knee. They may wear short cages, or simply many starched petticoats. Both girls wear necklaces and have hair center-parted and gathered in the back, possibly in snoods. Flowers adorn their hair, their shoulders, and in the CF of the bodice neckline. Both wear white stockings with black slippers, crisscross laced.Photograph Details
