Sisters in Connecticut
We are trying to identify the attached two photos, I think I have stared at them too long to be objective. The one of the five girls contains my great-grandmother (standing with the black bow) and her sisters. The second photo was was found in my grandfather's basement and is thought to be another photo of the sisters. Can anyone help with dating them based on the clothing. Personal opinions as to which ones might appear in the second photo would also be appreciated. Thanks again.

n the first photo, the girls have the "Gibson Girl" look, which would be 1890 - 1914. This is just a guess.

I just googled Gibson Girl, and under LaBelle Epoque 1890-1914 Fashion History - Edwardian era, I found pictures of women wearing the same type of blouses that the sisters are wearing.

The center girl closely resembles a photo of my grandmother shirt and cameo dated circa 1907.
I highly doubt any of the woman in the second shot are in the first. The shadows are harsh but they do not bear resemblances that I can see. Another way to help identify the photo is the mount the original was on and it's dimensions. Not to mention a photographers name if there was one. BTW~ Love the dog!~ Good Luck! -

Dear Bridget,
I am sorry to post this so long after but I have had a lot going on. The fist picture is probably after 1900 but I am going to look at some of my books that I have elsewhere. The second picture is actually older. The leg of mutton sleeves were only popular between 1893 and 1897. The pigeon front blouses in the first picture came in later.
Sincerely,
Laressa Northrup -
