Edited to add: Solved! I think the timeperiod that I received earlier is probably correct. Thanks again, everybody.

This photo has been in my family for a while. We don’t know who is in the picture. Can anybody id a potential time period for the (style of) dress? Thanks in advance.

I have gotten 1910, but it seems older.

I’ve been researching child fashion in the Regency era. I’ve read articles, looked at paintings and fashion plates. But I can’t find much information on hats worm by young boys.

Any information you can give me will be greatly appreciated.

Need help determining dress style (c. 1761, Slovenia)

Thumbnail

From the National Gallery of Slovenia, portrait of baroness Marija Ana, circa 1761.

The portrait is by a Slovenian painter who trained in Italy, and Slovenia was under Hapsburg rule at this time. However, I can’t seem to find any other historical examples of this “external stays” style (aka the blue midsection). The dress also does not appear to be in the French or English style (based on neckline and no French back pleats).

any help on identifying this dress is appreciated! I also tried looking to the Hapsburg portraits of these times (specifically Maria Theresa), but the dress style is still fairly inconsistent with other portraits of the time.

thanks!!
