Even if it doesn&#039;t give clues about the photo it would be fun to try!</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not sure what to say about the pics at this point. I know the clothing is not from the 1860s (which would be the right time frame for the image to be of somebody born in 1858).</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are some examples of girls&#039; dresses from the 1860s, or the Civil War era:</p><p><a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=1860s+girls+dress&amp;tbm=isch&amp;tbo=u&amp;source=univ&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=0ahUKEwibwZvrsZ3TAhVI74MKHeEYB1sQsAQIQQ&amp;biw=1680&amp;bih=955" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.google.com/search?q=1860s+girls+dress&amp;tbm=isch&amp;tbo=u&amp;source=univ&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=0ahUKEwibwZvrsZ3TAhVI74MKHeEYB1sQsAQIQQ&amp;biw=1680&amp;bih=955" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/search?q=1860s+girls+dress&amp;tbm=isch&amp;tbo=u&amp;source=univ&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=0ahUKEwibwZvrsZ3TAhVI74MKHeEYB1sQsAQIQQ&amp;biw=1680&amp;bih=955</a></p><p><br /></p><p>They were often fitted at the waist, with wide skirts (because they wore crinolines that made the skirts stick out -- or sometimes hoops... although hoops might have been for older women). The skirts could be higher than floor length for girls but not as high as in the postcard photo.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
