Sepia Saturday 242 - 23 August 2014

                                

                                         fans, faces, national costumes and hidden meanings

This is my first Sepia Saturday post but I love to read others so I thought I'd give it a go.

I couldn't find any fans in my family history photos but I did find a national costume.

Below is a photo of my husband's grandmother with her mother and Margaret's little grandson, Lawrence dressed in the Scottish national costume.  This photo would most likely have been taken at Ballarat, Victoria in the early 1930s

L-R Annie Duncan nee Robertson, Lawrence Taylor and Margaret Taylor nee Duncan.

I thought I'd also add the following photo which has always been called "the fancy dress" in our family.  Made by my maternal grandmother, Daisy Fleming nee Morgan.

Photo may have been taken at Moyhu possibly late 1920s

As I still have the dress below is a photo of it today.
