Hi! I'm looking for help to date some photos I have from Bury, Lancs, UK please. I think they are from 1900-1930s but hoping to narrow down dates so I can have a better guess of which relative might be in them! Also, what occasions would women wear lots of flowers on their hats? And when was the transition from young boys having big white collars to wearing ties? Thanks!

What kind of outfits would people have worn in the 1880s?

0 Upvotes

Specifically something in the lower middle class range, I'm making several characters and I want them to be historically accurate to the time and area, somewhere in the west of america (so basically old western culture and fashion), ive got a decent idea but its so hard to find sources that aren't incorrect or ai slop. Anyway, if anyone is willing to help that would be great!! I go really in depth for my characters so I'd love to design more casual as well as more fancy outfits for them, I love imagining what they would wear for different events and times of day and stuff. I have male and female characters as well, some I imagine to be more put together and others less so. But anyway, western america ~1880 would be a good reference for me! Thanks!

I found this beautiful black velvet coat at estate sale, it seems very old, the inner lining is quite literally deteriorating and it is not currently wearable. Any help on finding a probable time period would be appreciated!

Found an old picture of a girl at a goodwill, and I kind of wished I had grabbed it. The photo seems old to me, paired with her hairstyle and clothes, but I'm not sure when it could have been taken. I opened the back of it but there was no writing on the photo to help.

Yall. My mind is blown at the items in this auction. I didn’t want to share this with yall because I didn’t want competition on my bids lol. But if any of you have connections to a museum or are collectors who can give these amazing articles a safe home where they will be preserved and appreciated, then you deserve to know about this. If you’re not in the market for that, then just enjoy looking at them, it’s fantastic!! 1830s to 1990s!!!
