Three well dressed women of Marshall, Texas, USA. 1899.
I can’t image how hot they must have been wearing these dresses in the ungodly Texas heat. I figured the temperature might have been cooler back then than it is now.
Interestingly enough, when I looked into the highest temperature ever recorded in Marshall, Texas, it was 112 °F (44.4°C) which occurred on August 18, 1909. I then looked at the lowest temperature ever recorded in Marshall, Texas and it was -13 °F (-25°C) which occurred on February 16, 2021.
Anyway, I know more than a 125 years have passed, but I just wanted to say that I love their fit check and that they all look lovely. Considering the year, I hope these ladies went on to live long fulfilling lives.
That smirking kid in the back does make me a bit nervous…as if he’s up to no good.
