No ID on this mother and her baby. No guesses, even. All I can say is, I don't know how these women with tiny infants to care for found time to do all the dressing they had to do in those days. Beneath that elaborate blouse with all the fastenings and that long skirt with all the pleats, there's a wealth of complicated undergarments, and probably a lot of buttons on her shoes.
