You are early with your post, This is a gorgeous old photo of fashionable women. You are right about the two lookalikes.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful hat parade! Perhaps the two in matching coats were sisters. I hear you like berets; if you have a moment I've a beret story on my other blog here. That's a lovely new smiley picture of you.
ReplyDeleteWhat a spectacular photograph. They were certainly wearing their Sunday Best. In these days of cheap clothing the whole idea of "Sunday Best" seems to have vanished.
ReplyDeleteYes, Alan, I agree. When I make the effort to get dressed up, people around me look at me and say, "Why are you all dressed up for?" I simply say, it makes me feel good....
ReplyDeleteThey look ready for a girls' night out on the town - although perhaps that sort of thing wouldn't have been quite de rigeur for the 1900s, when I presume this portrait was taken. Great photo, Rosie.
ReplyDeleteI think the lady front right has similar eyes to the other two - maybe all sisters?
ReplyDelete@Jackie, yes, the McEachern sisters from the Miramichi area, all fine looking ladies they were..
ReplyDeleteThey don't look very comfortable, do they?
ReplyDeleteGreat hats!! I started to do hats for my post this week but changed my mind.
ReplyDeleteThe Zebra Coats are absolutely fantastic...want one!
ReplyDeleteThe women all look so serious, but I find their hats amusing.
ReplyDeleteAs there are muffs in evidence I guess it must be cold, The two are so alike they might even be twins.
ReplyDeleteLove the hats and the expressions on their faces. Photography must have been a very painful process way back when.
ReplyDeleteLoved the hats. A sister of my grandfather McPherson owned a millinery shop -- which was very posh for the day and place. She lived in a smallish town so ladies hats must have been very important in the late 1800 and early 1900s. In fact, as I remember my twin aunts, in their younger days they ALWAYS wore hats and gloves. Great photo which brought to mind a whole bunch of family memories. Thanks
ReplyDeleteThe hats make a wonderful fashion accessory. I have never been a hat person myself (I over heat) but to me, hats are a much nicer accessory than facial piercings!
ReplyDeleteFabulous photo! I really love the muff ... is it fur? It's hard to tell on my screen. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWow! Do you think this style will EVER come back? In a way I think it would be crazy-fun... :)
ReplyDeleteHats were so grand and everyone wore them. But I often think about being in close quarters with all these hats bobbing about. I imagine there were a lot of "Excuse me." "Sorry." Sort of like bumper cars.
ReplyDelete@Tattered and Lost----I think that is when they introduced the 3 foot "personal" space rule....LOL
ReplyDeleteThey must have been thrilled to show up for the picture
ReplyDeleteand see that two wore the same coat...
Oops!!
:D~
HUGZ
Those were quite some hats! Aren't you glad we don't have to wear them now.
