Gladys (Simmons) Van Kleeck
Probably taken in Kingston, New York. Guessing the date would be sometime in the 1910s? The silver in the emulsion went bad and this is the best I could do to reduce the reflectivity.
Date & Place: Not specified or unknown.

Beth Gordon she was probably thinking the same thing, comparing her dress to previous fashion trends!

Honestly, though chop it off at the knee, remove the extra neck fabric stuff, add sandals and it’d pass as a Sophie max dress. 🤷🏼‍♀️

She doesn't look very corseted, if at all. This actually looks very cool and comfortable for summer.

Her arm looks odd. Too long

Michelle Guerrero I think it looks that way because the dress's middle is actually not at her hips but above them. Makes the proportion look odd.

Now I can't unsee this. I agree it's something about the way the dress is cut, the "waist" starts up at her ribcage, to give a Gibson Girl effect. But it's still so odd looking.

I love antique photographs. In addition to sharing old photos of my family, I am also going through my collection of "antique store people". They've been sitting in a storage tub in my back room much too long and maybe some of their families will be able to find them here. If I'm able to identify the people in the photo, I upload it not only to AncientFaces, but also to Ancestry, FamilySearch, and Find-A-Grave. If the person in the picture is a military veteran, the photo also goes on Fold3. I figure that the more places I upload these pictures, the greater the chance that a relative will be able to find them.
