    3. I have a picture just labeled "Mrs Fleury" and I think I know who it may be but am not 100% sure. This lady MAY have been a business woman in that time period and that MAY be affecting the fact that I cannot find anything similar to her style of dress on site I find on google. If anyone is good at dating NYC women's dress late 1800's to early1900's (she died 1909) please let me know. I can show you a copy of this picture off list. I don't even know what is in fashion NOW, no less what was in fashion a century or more ago LOL MY idea of fashion is Blue Jeans and a T-shirt--or a nice blouse to go out...I'm in the Pacific Northwest--everybody here wears jeans for everything--even in some of the nicer restaurants--(as long as jeans are fairly new and not faded LOL) Thx for any help...

    3. Two tips-------------------1--Leg o'mutton sleeves were THE style in the 1890s for girls and women of every age.  Think Gibson girl.  Even women at work wore a version of that style.----------------------------------------------------2--There are books for historians and genealogists that show styles of various eras so photos can be identified.  Google should help locate some titles.--------------------------------------------------------Virginia   From: Joyce Presnall via <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, May 31, 2015 1:29 PM Subject: [NYC-ROOTS] Anyone know a lot about dress/hats in ? late 1800's?
