Hi Raven,

I am thinking around the 1930's. Definitely before WWII as if it was after the dresses would be a lot less opulent. Shortages of material after the war would put paid to that. The style of the 50's and 60's were more for fuller skirts and fitted bodices.

The style of the mens suits also looks like before the war. The mens pants have cuffs.

Could possibly be the very late 1920's but I think more likely early to mid 1930's.

Looks like 1925 to me but I am no expert

Hi Raven,

I'd be inclined to agree with Kate being around the 1930's era

Nice photo by the way.
