A Stunning Display of Color and Design greets the lucky pedestrian passing by this fine lady. Featured on page 173 https://goo.gl/NQKvMx of the Earl J. Arnold Advertising Collection 1885, the outfit is so distracting, I doubt many saw the advertising sign on the tree!

    Look at all the colors in that dress is it made from the flour sacks?

    Kathy Lind This is a guess. The dress was most likely made from bolts of cotton cloth purchased at a local "fancy goods" store sometime in the 1880s. en.wikipedia.org - Bolt (fabric) - Wikipedia

Hat at the ready at her feet, somebody wanted to be sure to show off this outfit and the very full hairdo.

Hat at the ready at her feet, somebody wanted to be sure to show off this outfit and the very full hairdo. This card is a mystery. There were no markings on it to indicate its sponsor or maker. #EmmaJanesFavoriteFashions #bestarnoldcards #19thCenturyTradeCards
