Regarding the picture of the group of the Scottish Society, Edinburgh,(post 4 in this thread) I wonder if the picture was indeed taken in the evening? Remember Scottish daylight hours continue well into the evening in June. In the month of June and early parts of July, daylight here is for about 20 hours a day. Even then its never actually dark, more of a twilight.
On reflection there does not appear to be any leaves on the tree branches, evergreen Ivy is present on the tree trunk though, so maybe the picture was taken during the day and in winter/early spring? Anyway, I tend to imagine that it was one of those posed pictures that were fashionable at the time that may not actually reflect any dress trend accurately at all.
Sorry, but forming an opinion on a picture without knowing the circumstance can lead one to make false assumtions which is far from helpful on occasion.
Just saying.
