Any early 20th century clothing experts?

This photo is meant to be someone who died in 1907. Am I wrong to think what she’s wearing doesn’t fit? Thanks in advance to anyone who answers

I would have gone with the clothing dating her to the 1920s - the cloche hat and the long line of the jacket. Or later than the 20s if there was insufficient money to replace clothes solely due to changing fashion or an older woman sticking with the fashions she wore in midlife.

When were affordable cameras around? 1900 for a box brownie? She looks 'respectable', would there have been disposable income in the family to afford a camera in the early 1900s? Do you know anything about their jobs, or financial circumstances?

Well according to Google lens the person died in 1931. It even names her and states where the photo was taken. The clothing is wrong for 1907.

Don't trust AI responses on face value. That Google lens result is of a visually similar photo match and is derived from this website

It's not the same lady as the OPs photo

Sorry I should’ve said it’s a family photo! I thought 1920s but it’s been labelled as my great, great grandmother who died in 1907. Don’t have any other photos to compare and no one is left to ask

Don't suppose that your great great grandmother had a daughter/niece named after herself?

Yes, I'd say that was early 1920's. Possibly later if she had owned the clothes for some time.

If she was a working class woman and those were her ‘working’ clothes, they could be feasible for 1907.

I'd say 1915- early 1920s . Women's skirt lengths shortened through WW1 and this lady has to my eye more of a Great War onwards look than Edwardian. The shape and size of her hat also suggests significantly later than 1907. Could she be a GG Aunt rather than GG?

The skirt looks a bit too short for pre 1907, and the shoes look post-WW1. I first thought maybe it's outdoor working clothes, but not with those shoes.

I really have no idea who it could be then - my dad had written that it was his grandfather’s mother (not her name) but she definitely died in 1907. I have quite a few photos now and don’t know who they are, such a shame

I know which is why I started my post with, according to Google".

I agree the clothing is 1920’s

Could be 1917 and your great, great grandmother could have had a sister who looked very like her.
