Lace and Jewelry (Unidentified Glass-Plate Image)

Another photo of a photo, with no identifying information. The original was a formal portrait, with the subject decking herself out in an elaborate lace and organdy dress, with a perfectly tied hair bow and an abundance of jewelry. Perhaps the portrait was to commemorate a special occasion, like her high-school graduation.

The sunburst brooch on her collar resembles the one worn by the woman seated at the far right in the surly baby picture, but I can't say I see any resemblance between the two women.
