Update: The photo was taken in 1903. One clue to the year is her "cottage loaf" hairstyle, which was all the rage in the Edwardian era. Other clues to the early 1900s date are the high neckline, "pigeon" bust bodice, and A-line skirt.

Long time no see, Likers! Checking in briefly with a Name the Date contest.

In memoriam the U.S. one-cent coin, this woman is minting pennies. What year do you think it is?

You could cheat and do a reverse image search, but then you'd be a sad lyric from a sad 70s song (bonus points if you know the song - female singer).

In March I attended a presentation on travel-related rare books from the at the University of Georgia (see Instagram feed for photos). Afterward, archivist Anne Meyers DeVine told me there was a fashion-related exhibit on display.

Last month, I finally made my way to the library. Anne was there, and she graciously took me on an extended private tour!

"From Farms to Fast Fashion" is an extensive investigation of the factors affecting the dramatic shift from home/custom-made natural-fiber clothing meant to last, to today's cheaply made, mostly synthetic, throw-away garments.

These photos show a sliver of the exhibit, which touches on myriad aspects of clothing creation and consumption, from the cloth itself to industry advertising and technolog to political and social influences.

[SOLD] Vintage tutu, now listed. It's the genuine article, originally created for and worn by professional corps de ballet dancers performing as "Wilis" in Giselle. I feel lucky, being far from a ballerina, to have owned it for the last 44 years. It's all kinds of dreamy and you can't get more than the real thing.

Photo: Scott, photographer friend of a friend, 1987, at my favorite place in the world, Steppingstone Park.
