- Note
- Record says c.1900-1913 but I put it before 1906 for sure. Style and the size of the waist indicates that the dress had to be worn with a corset which would put it before 1906 as well as the fact that the dress has a full sleeve and full blouse unlike later dresses that show a bit more skin. Lack of bustle would place it after 1900. (Samantha Shaver 2016)
