I should think they'd not be comfortable. Poor little girls having to wear garters to keep them up. Thanks for visiting and commenting.<br />P.S. I love the barn painting that you posted on March 10.<br /><br />Christine - Not to worry about Baby Girl. She is my aunt who is still alive and I didn't want to use her real name. I should have put quotes so readers would have understood.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-6521660645669677262010-05-18T00:45:01.897-04:002010-05-18T00:45:01.897-04:00What a fabulous photograph!

He mom made her wear them and I don't know if they were a mother's answer to keep their legs covered as well as protected. It is a cute photo.L.

That probably explains the lack of outwear.<br /><br />Alan - Gosh, I wish I knew what kind of camera took this photo, and who.<br /><br />Kat - Your comment about the closeness of siblings caused me to think over the relationships of the 4 females in this family. I think Audrey and Baby Girl were the closest of any of them. <br /><br />Yes, even if the baby weren't heavy, all the layers definitely make her look heavy.<br /><br />Nana Jo - Baby Girl does look very round, doesn't she? Because she's still living I chose to call her Baby Girl. I could have used quotes to make it more obvious.<br /><br />Betsy - I have another photograph of these three girls, taken a few years later than this one. It is a formal studio pose. All I have is a color photocopy of it and it didn't scan very well. If I find that I still have the original - or find out who does have the original - I'll post it sometime. <br /><br />Willow - Thank you. It really is a treasure because I have so few non-blurry photographs of my mom's side of the family.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-82376527797393706052010-05-15T18:32:31.942-04:002010-05-15T18:32:31.942-04:00Vintage photos of children are always so delightfu...Vintage photos of children are always so delightful.

But children still have to be nagged into wrapping up against the cold, so maybe this was the case with Audrey.
