Here is a cute shot of four friends sitting on the running board of a brand new Ford. Written on the back of the photo are the girls' names and, underneath, "Emma's new Ford." Note the "Buster Brown" haircuts and demurely crossed feet. I love the white play dresses!

I always enjoy finding pictures of friends together. This is one of my favorites. I only wish it was a little clearer and that it had not been creased. It's such a neat shot of two girls who obviously enjoy spending time together. The one on the right has a pretty parasol, and notice the button detailing on her skirt.

A cute 1908 photograph of four sisters from Winchester, Virginia. Note the big bows in the hair. This is the origin of the term "flapper," because big bows like this flapped in the breeze. When these girls grew up, they'd be the flappers of the 1920s because of this term from their youth.

At left is a circa 1908 photo of four friends in white.The gal in the second photograph is also pictured in the first photo on the far left. Note the different trims, bows, and hat styles. Beautiful!

Circa 1908-1910 photo of five ladies seated on a bench. The gal on the left has her coat on her lap. Look at those marvelous hats. I also love the vest and tie on the gal seated second from left.

This is a lovely photograph of four friends posing in their everyday outfits. The gal standing at the back right has on a white lawn dress with tucks and is wearing a locket around her neck. The two ladies in front have on the plain, slimmer skirts of the early 1910s, but their "waists" (blouses) show the "pouter pigeon" bosom silhouette that came and went throughout the 1900s. Note the neat details on the skirt fronts--the triangular closure on the left-hand skirt and the tucks on the one at the right.

Here is a cute 19-teens photo of five friends. The belted waists and skirted blouses on three of the gowns lead me to believe this was taken around 1915-16. What fun!
