Is it the fullness that's throwing it out of 60s for you? |

No, more the lace and the embroidery. It's hard to articulate, but it just kind of reminds me of a crazy quilt.

I was debating over that apron last night. The embroidery says 90's to me. The lace is very like what I have on a bunch of baby clothes from 80's/90's. I was going to dig through some books for embroidery designs to see if I was right but haven't gotten to it yet.

The design is also asymmetrical not typical of Civil War years where most things are balanced.

The second one looks later to me, but the first one has the look of some of the earlier aprons. That particular style of embroidery for aprons was popular in the 1840s-1850s. Colleen |

Is this one of those times when the photo chemistry plays tricks on us? The skirt photographed light but is actually in the same value range as the blouse and trim in reality? Liz W. |

Neat Ambrotype, it certainly pops that myth that they never wore lace mitts in the 1860s!  Ambrotypes and those style mats seem earlier to me, but I think the bonnet is a dead giveaway for being 1860s. |

Hmm.... her collar is so wide - and I thought bonnet decorations on the sides and lace on the top were a 50s thing? And the 60s were the reverse - lace on the sides, and decorations on the top?

That ambro hollers 50s to me. She's *so* stylish for it, all the details in place.

Well, I thought the bonnet being so far back on her head was much closer to 1860s?
