    Well dressed pretty lady, such a shame she isn't named for historical sake, someone's daughter wife? and probably mother. Gone, remembered but unknown. :-(

    I could not find anything about this stylishly. dressed lady but there are some interesting facts about fashion styles at that period of time. "Towards the late 1890s women began to realise the problems of dressing in the extremity of the days fashions: Corset are just as unnecessary as they are injurious, at any rate to the average stamina, and of an average symmetry…On the contrary, if any honest reasoning women sincerely believes that it is better to reduce the breathing capacity of her lungs, to crowd her internal organs into unnatural and often dangerous positions…let her do so. Women of Sydney’s upper class had been wearing tight corsets since the early years of the Victorian Age (1837 – 1860)." Source: www.australianhistoryresearch.info/victorian-fashions/
